ON THIS DAY
Villa drop to 18th in the table as the Houllier disaster continued. One win in ten games and eight losses surely meant this most misguided of appointments needed to be terminated. Whatever the current struggles it needed to be remembered that the squad he was incapable of motivating had spent almost the entirety of the previous campaign in the top 6.
