Cheerio, Cheerio, Cheerio
A few days have passed now and the initial shock of Martin leaving has set in and we begin the thinking process while we wait for official words from the club. It is unfortunate that so close to kick off that we have no manager to run our club. I can’t say that I blame MON for wanting out of Villa as I reflect back on a few things that have occurred recently.
A New Chapter in the Book of Villa
Of course I was absolutely shocked at first. In my mind, if Martin O Neil was to ever leave the club, it would be Lerner who let him go, not O Neil leaving on his own.

Transfer Rumours
As I already stated there isn’t a lot to write about on this front. We have been linked with a possible move for Martin Petrov who has been released from his contract at Man City – a player I wouldn’t mind being given a short term contract.
‘Arry Redknapp is reportedly willing to offer around £10million and Robbie Keane to take Gabby Agbonlahor of us which I don’t think will be happening any time soon seeing as Gabby is one of O’Neill’s golden boys.
England v Allstars
James Milner, Stephen Warnock and Emile Heskey all featured in Englands 3-0 victory over local South African side Platinum Allstars yesterday afternoon.
All three played the second half and now many believe Heskey will be the player to start along side Wayne Rooney against the USA on Saturday.
England’s goals come from Jermaine Defoe, Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney.
