That's a big blow, Aston Villa might be satisfied with a mid-table finish.
His resignation was rumored for a couple of years now but it finally happened yesterday. Martin O'Neill guided Aston Villa to three consecutive 6th place finishes in the Premier League but decided to leave probably because the club didn't give him enough money for transfers this summer. The club might also sell its two star players, James Milner and Ashley Young and most likely O'Neill agreed to let only one of the two leave. What will happen to Aston Villa this season?
Keeping in mind the instructions issued by Fabio Capello, Manchester City has speedily started the bid on James Milner at 24 million pound. Chelsea is expected to file a bid at par with the Manchester City.
Manchester City, Milner is the player that they needed.

One of the most important transfers of the summer finally went through, James Milner will join Roberto Mancini's team of stars at Manchester City while Aston Villa get Stephen Ireland plus 16 million pounds. Many people say that Villa came out pretty well from the deal, what do you say?
Aston Villa have rejected an offer of 20 million pounds for England winger James Milner. The youngster is said to be unfazed as he is concentrating on making Capello's final 23 for South Africa.

If Milner is to go it will take a lot to replace him, but do you think more than 20 million will suffice?
