Milner exit prompts O'Neill to quit Villa

09 August 2010 16:27
The expected move of England midfielder James Milner to Manchester City has had one unexpected casualty - with Martin O'Neill resigning as Aston Villa manager. The Northern Irishman made his surprise exit from Villa Park on Monday, with Kevin MacDonald taking over on a caretaker basis. The timing of his decision, less than a week before the start of the Premier League campaign and having gone through a full pre-season with the club suggests it is linked to Milner's imminent move to Eastlands.
