Default From mid table to UEFA cup in a season.




On the 2nd July 2007 Aston Villa and Martin O'Neil decided that his contract at Aston Villa Football Club would be terminated due to Martin O'Neil feeling he needed a break from football.

The club are refusing to choose a new manager for at least two weeks due to no pre season games until then.


Sky Bets odds on next manger at Villa.

Steve McClaren 16/1
Peter Schmeichel 30/1
John Robertson 30/1
Steve Walford 60/1
Ron Atkinson 96/1

On the 5th July 2008 the word was about that the new manager was going to be Jim Magilton currently at Ipswich Town FC. Sky sports news sources claimed that the new manager of Villa was to be a member of the Ipswich Town FC staff.

On the same day at 03.00am Aston Villa released a statment at a press confrence they had called for.

"We are pleased to announce we have signed manager Ryan Pidd as the new manager of Aston Villa FC. He is a young manager who has had a great spell with the Ipswich Town FC's U18's. Winning the youth cup and there league a number of times. He has a fast, wide, attacking way of making his team play which will suit Aston Villa. That is all we have to say for now."

Aston Villa confirmed later on that day that Ryan Pidd was planning to get the team into the UEFA cup through league finish and that he is a big fan of Gareth Barry and would be selecting him as the captain of the team.

The first pre season game was over the final score was:

Wallsall 1 - 2 Aston Villa

Walsall were ahead after 33 minutes a goal from Tommy Mooney and Villa didn't attack much for the rest of the first half. They players come out for the 2nd half and Ashley Young hit the crossbar with a cracking shot which deserved to be a goal but it was'nt to be. No more goals came until the 83rd minute when Zat Knight scored. On the 88th minute the sub Luke Moore flicked the ball on from a corner and it was advantage Villa. There were a few more shots in the game after that but Villa went on to win the game.

On the 17th July, Ryan made his first signing in Paulo Ferreira for 1.7m from Chelsea.



On the same date Aston Villa confirmed there new link with Blue Square Premier team Kidderminster Harriers which mean Villa could send players on loan.

Brive-La-Gaillarde 1 - 3 Aston Villa
Louhans-Cuiseaux 0 - 3 Aston Villa

Pidd raided his old club Ipswich and signed Jai Reason a player he said, "massive potential, and could be in an England youth top within a few years."
He also signed young striker Jordan Rhodes from Ipswich for a free of 1.4m pounds.

FC Metz 0 - 2 Aston Villa

Pidd admited he would love to make Andrey Arshavin a Aston Villa player, he is thought to cost around 5m.



A tranfer fee with CSKA for Jo was agreed, and then the contract was agreed and Jo looked to be a Aston Villa player but failed with a work permit.

Darren O'Dea on the other hand was signed from Celtic for 2.4m
