		Aston Villa PLC is currently valued by the City at less than Second Division Champions Millwall, and at about the same level as Birmingham City.
		Aston Villa, however, has a management structure which blatantly flouts corporate governance guidelines for PLC boards on two counts: Doug Ellis holds both Chairman and Chief Executive role; and there is no powerful independent non-executive director on the board to represent investor interests and concerns.
		Aston Villa needs to develop a better relationship with all its stakeholders, including local residents, schools, youth projects and supporters groups, in order to understand better how they can work together to build the long term development of the club and the community.

		Villa taking the lead just about put the tin lid on things, after a start in which our every move was foiled by either whistle or flag.
		Certainly Villa seemed to have fallen in to the role of fall guys with the minimum of fuss, failing to consistently threaten us other than when we dwelt on the ball in defence and allowed the visitors to hassle us into unforced errors.
		It just seemed a wee bit daft not to sacrifice a defender when the Villa rearguard action was in full swing, and as a consequence see Bramble in the role of playmaker on the other side of the halfway line to that which he normally experiences.

		It is 25 years since Villa landed the European Cup and the celebrations in honour of that brilliant side were one of the highlights of last term the first for new manager Martin O’Neill and American owner Randy Lerner.
		Many of the Villa faithful have been frustrated by O’Neill’s lack of big name signings during the summer, but the capture of Nigel Reo-Coker has added bite to the midfield and it would be no surprise to see a couple more big names arrive at Villa Park prior to transfer deadline on 31st August.
		These are indeed exciting times at a resurgent Villa under a new and dynamic management regime and we at 32Red are delighted to be associated with the biggest Club in England’s second city and one on the verge of a return to the very top of English football’s elite.
