da winzada777： Aston Villa’s chief executive Christian Purslow gave a sensational interview on Monday evening to Sky Sports News as he looked to defend the club’s summer of high-spending.
Villa boss Dean Smith brought in 12 new signings for a total fee of around £144.5m after winning promotion to the big time via the Championship playoffs in May.
Of all the Premier League sides, only Manchester United spent more this summer though Villa had a higher net spend, and their attempts had previously been likened to Fulham who were immediately relegated last season following a net spend of £100m.
Four new arrivals started the game against Tottenham on Saturday evening as Villa succumbed to a 3-1 defeat in North London.
Purslow appeared to impressively swat away every single question fired at him by the Sky Sports presenter which has caused a reaction from a number of fans at Villa Park.

He said: “It is a lot of money, and I’m incredibly grateful to our owners, but a couple of important points. Firstly, at the end of last season we had 12 players leave Villa, so we would have been starting with 10 players had we not bought.
“With or without promotion, Dean Smith and Jesus Garcia Pitarch came to Aston Villa with the certain knowledge we would be rebuilding our club this summer.”
One supporter labelled him a ‘class act’ whilst others called him ‘very reassuring and genuinely honest.’
A further fan added that Purslow is possibly the best signing the club have made which was backed up by another who believes the club is in the best hands it has ever been in and that they are building something special.
Here’s the best of the reaction:
