The formal name of the club is Aston Villa Football club, or Aston Villa FC.
The squad is ordinarily referred to as Villa, or the Villa, the Villans, or by the nickname of the Lions.
Founded in 1874, the team was one of the pioneers of the Football league in 1888 and the Premier League in 1992.
The team is registered in Lancashire, England; its address is 4th Floor, Ashworth House, Manchester Road, Burnley, Lancs BB11 1TT.
The home venue of the club is Villa Park, which has a capacity in excess of 42,000. The owner of the club is Randy Lerner, and the club currently has a caretaker manager, Macdonald, in the absence of Martin O’Neill who resigned about two weeks ago.
The Villans have European Cup and FA Cup victories to their credit, but no Premier League title. Last season, Aston Villa finished sixth on the league table, their third successive finish at that position.
The squad comprises the following players: Friedel, Luke Young, Clark, Dunne, Warnock, Downing, Albrighton, Petrov, Milner, Ashley Young, Carew, Guzan, Heskey, Reo-Coker, Beye, Weimann, Lichaj, and Bannan.
Villa are looking to sign up Spurs men, David Bentley and Robbie Keane, moves initiated during O’Neill’s tenure.
Their opening match in EPL 2010-11 set to rest misgivings about any ill-effect the absence of O’Neill might have on the clkub’s performance. A bravura performance on the day saw the club thrash West Ham, 3-0, on August 14.
Pre-season Preview:
Aston Villa have just ended a summer of intrigue, ahead of the Premier league season. James Milner and Ashley Young have flown, and so has Martin O’Neill.
The team is yet to find O’Neill’s successor. However, the team remain buoyant in the absence of their erstwhile manager, if the performance against West Ham is evidence to go by.
Milner crowned his departure from the team with a goodbye goal. He played an important role in Villa’s last season when the sqaud achieved their second best points tally, ever, at the Premiership.
Barring a solitary mistake in the League cup final, Richard Dunne was the pillar on which Villa built their edifice, last season.
And especially in Martin Laursen’s absence, Villa’s reliance on Dunne, in defence, will only increase, in the current season. Dunne is leadership material and could skipper the team in the foreseeable future.
Nathan Delfouneso displayed brilliance in patches, and he was a player that Martin O’Neill saw as a bright star of the current season.
Wilfred Bouma and Marlon Harewood’s contracts have expired, and both are free agents. West Brom have taken Nicky Shorey, and Manchester City have snared Milner. Stephen Ireland will step in for Milner.
A top four spot is Villa’s avowed aim but the club might have to settle for a mid-table finish. A top six spot can be considered over-achievement.
For any clarity as to the direction the team will go this season, Villa must decide on a new manager, and soon.
