Who Would Of Predicted Martin O’Neill Resigning?

Martin O’Neill has resigned from his post as manager of Aston Villa with only five days before the FA Premier league starts. This has left Aston Villa in a right state as O’Neill has left with immediate effect. Leaving the club to appoint Kevin MacDonald as the assistant manager. He will have to pick the side to play West Ham and that team will more than likely not include James Milner who is scheduled to sign for Manchester City in the next few days.

Why Did O’Neill Leave?

Rumours have it that O’Neill was unhappy that with the amount of money that was going to be available to buy players from the sell of James Milner to Manchester City. Recently Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner had been quoted saying that they must sell to buy, which is not really what O’Neill wanted to hear as he had started to build a young team and to have to sell your best players it not the way the club will challenge for the Champions League or even Premier league title.

This is why we think O’Neill resigned, because he’d taken Villa as far as he could with the resources at his disposal. He wanted to challenge for the Champions League places and Premier league title and had the right framework in place, especially with young English players, but his hand was force to sell and then not be given enough funds to buy in better quality players.

Who Will Villa Appoint?

We predict that Glenn Hoddle will be mentioned for the Villa job or even Sven Goran Eriksson getting another crack at managing a Premier league team.
