Brief History

Aston Villa was founded in 1874 and starting from 1897 are still using the Villa Park stadium today. The club tasted glory in the past English football by winning six times the major leagues until 1910. Repeated a similar triumph new 1980/81 season, plus the Champions League title next season, without ever happen again until now.

Since the era of manager Brian Little, having dealt with Martin O'Neill before Villa back writhing on the Premier League era. IBHS is merely "disturbing" the stability of the four major leagues are dominated Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. O'Neill policy better known by using many original players of Great Britain. This season, that policy remains unchanged thanks to the recruitment of Stewart Downing from Middlesbrough and Leeds United's young midfielder Fabian Delph.

Patriotic spirit of the United Kingdom was not stated in the ownership of the club since 2006 Villa is owned by American businessman Randy Lerner, who bought the majority stake owned by Doug Ellis. After buying the ownership of the club, Lerner appointed himself as the club president to replace Ellis. Outside of public sentiment as a result of hectic U.S. businessman who became owners of English clubs, at least prove his arrival Lerner was able to make Villa more toothed.
