Yesterday, Martin O'Neil resigned as Aston Villa manager to the amasement of any football. He quoted 'This job has seperated me from my family and I think some time away from the game and with them will give me a chance to spend time with them'.
3 days after O'Neils departure, Villa were quick to find his successor.
He was to be 'Kieran Fox' a 34 year old Ex England and Chelsea Striker.
Fox won 35 caps with England scoring 12 goals and played at Chelsea for the whole of his 15 year career. Fox has only just retired as player and has quickly looked into management.
Fox: 'I have always admired Aston Villa as a club, I'm sad that O'Neil has gone, but this is a start of a new chapter, Last season they finished 6th and have a chance to participate in Europe, I look to build on 6th place and better it'
Key players:
Brad Friedel: He is the rock between the two posts, he is a great keeper and I will look to him to keep up his impressive form and use his experience to help out other players.
Curtis Davies and Richard Dunne: These 2 are at the heart of the defense, these are the types of players who make clubs, there passion is just amazing. These two will help us towards greatness.
Ashley Young, James Milner, Stiliyan Petrov: Petrov is the captain and is a greatly experienced player, he looks to lead the team. Young and Milner are young and exceptionly good wingers, my midfield is strong with these.
Gabby Agbonlahor: Agbonlahor has the pace and enthuasiasm to terrorize any defense in Europe. Playing him as Poacher will cause the best of defenses to fall to pieces.
Updates on transfers and pre-season soon. (I am on 23rd August already so updates will be quick)
