Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[LeeB]

Same with Bologna, loads of empty seats in the Upper Holte. What a grubby, grasping little twat Heck is.

I know you're no fool mate but I think it's important to remember Heck is an employee, and presumably this grasping is sanctioned by our multi-billionaires owners.

Of course you’re right, Heck sold the tickets and met his remit. The fact that nobody actually sat there means fuck all to him, the money’s already in the bank. And the long term impact on our support is not his problem either. Still think he’s a twat though- he looks like one in all the photos I’ve seen of him.

The vibe has been off from the get go. You can do that job without coming across like you relish pissing people off.

He does indeed. He looks like someone that would get extremely upset over how a hedge separating your properties was trimmed.

[Des Little]

I’d expect the club to be giving away GA+ for the Brentford game, no one is going to be buying that for a Wednesday night nothing game wedged in between a Champs League game and Christmas.

[DB]

Both Brentford and Soton matches have a Black Friday offer of 2 for 1 on GA+.

Yep and I doubt he’s being micromanaged.

A lot of these initiatives only started when he came in.

The obvious analysis is he has a target and is going to make sure he meets it whatever the ramifications.

Such filth, I despair. Can we please get back on-topic, this thread is for discussing Chris Heck and Villa's business operations.

Haven’t seen him in a while… where’s he gone?

He is in the US being interviewed for the Border  job, The Donald reckons if he can do the same for the USA as he has done for Villa Park.

I thought the whereabouts was about a beloved parishioner. Anyway, the thread made me laugh.

Was wracking my brain trying to figure out what said parishioner would be doing about the US border, thinking I must have missed something. Turns out Chicago was talking about Heck on the… err, Chris Heck thread. You can understand my confusion!

Sorry just seen this. A couple of other posters responded to your where has he gone, thinking it was referring to our filth-fest averse Footy rather than Heck. Anyway not important!

There was nearly a serious incident outside the Holte as the stewards weren’t going to let me in as the 2nd half had started and scanners were shut. Nightmare diversions in London, across 20mph country lanes and motorway limits  meant 4hrs driving. Had to go up the chain of command twice to get someone sensible. Hopefully that’s the most expensive 45mins of football I’ll ever pay for at villa park.

[LeeB]

He doesn't need to be micro managed, he's doing the job they want him to do. That is my point.

I suppose it's not really a point, I just get a bit fed up in general at people going on at the likes of Heck.
I mean yes he's a bellend, and yes I'm sure he understands that he has to be the lightening rod for the unpopular moves he makes and he's happy enough to take it in exchange for his healthy renumeration, but the ire should be shared out to the owners too.

[exigo]

These were the same owners who were happy to bulldoze the North Stand and get an extra 8,000 seats in for regular oiks 18 months ago.
So, yes, some of the ire should still go their way. But who was it that told them not to do that and install corporate hospitality seating all over the gaff?

You honestly think that's all on Heck? And even if it was his suggestion, they still have to agree to it.

Billionaires are not our friends.

[Sexual Ealing]

I agree with LeeB.

[VillaTim]

Everyone else get the Black Friday offer of BOGOF for GA+ seats. It’s almost as if they’re struggling to sell them or something? Maybe that explains the empty seats by me on Wednesday night? Or maybe that’s my personal hygiene issue again.

You'd still be looking at £130 to sit in the lower north , not really worth it for 2 pints a programme/lanyard and some nachos

And live on Amazon Prime.

[Paul.S]

Celtic money coming out on Monday, just shy of 2 months before the game. The other games if I’m correct, were about a month before the game.
