Little Support For Little

Vital Villa asked whether Brian Little should return to Aston Villa as manager.

61% said he shouldn’t and that Martin O’Neil HAS to be hired.
21% said with Doug in charge, no one will succeed.
6% warned that managers should not return.
9% said he should return but only with John Gregory who was Little’s second in command for a good part of his tenure at Villa and it all seemed to go wrong after JG left for the Wycombe job.
Just 3% said yes.

Villa legend Dennis Mortimer was on Five Live last night and made an impassioned argument for Villa to rid the club of Ellis and to look to the future.

He agreed that whilst Ellis was in charge, the big names won’t be daft enough to come but said that Doug should try to bring in Martin O’Neil as his parting shot and then leave Villa to a more dynamic and capable board.

On O’Neil, Mortimer said: ‘Martin has a fantastic record and is a superb motivator. He has done well wherever he has been and would be ideal for Villa right now.’
