ON THIS DAY
Tim Sherwood's Villa lose heavily in the FA Cup final as a harrowing defeat almost seemed to represent a microcosm of the season as a whole.
Sherwood had done enough to get Villa over the line and safe from relegation but it was clear - especially given the expected departures from the squad - that a major rethink and reinvestment was required if the club were going to operate above the drop zone any time soon.
Sadly Villa’s woeful half decade saw more of their best assets leave.
Goalkeeper Shay Given made his final appearance for Villa aged 39 before moving on to Stoke City on a free transfer in July 2015 having made just 55 appearances for the club after being excluded from selection by former boss Paul Lambert.
Centre back Ron Vlaar made his final appearance for Villa aged 30 before being released in July 2015. In total Vlaar made 86 appearances and scored twice across his 3 seasons with Villa.
Midfielder Fabian Delph made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Manchester City for a fee of £10,350,000 in July 2015. Over his 6 seasons with Villa, Delph made 134 appearances, 17 as substitute, and scored 8 goals.
Midfielder Tom Cleverley made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before returning to Manchester United at the end of his loan spell. Cleverley made 37 appearances and scored 3 goals in his season long stay with Villa.
Centre forward Christian Benteke made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Liverpool for a fee of £41,850,000 in July 2015. In total across his 3 seasons with Villa Benteke made 101 appearances and scored 50 goals.
