This season actually ended a long time ago, probably as early as December, but Villa were finally put out of their misery as the curtain came down on the shocking 2015/2016 season.
It was a season of unprecedented failure in the history of the club
Villa finished an amazing 64 points behind Leicester City. Villa’s three wins in the whole season is what a decent team could have pulled off in just a week, if they had a mid-week game. It was a season of unprecedented failure in the history of the club.
The buck is very much at the feet of Lerner and his false messiah, Tom Fox. The ex-Villa CEO ultimately failed in his overhaul of the club, while Lerner sought a buyer. Unfortunately, Lerner was as good at selling a club, as he was at running one.
A massive overhaul is needed for this club to make it’s way back. To swing a club from winning only three games to one that will need to win a majority of games next season, will be no mean task. For starters, a new owner and manager need putting in place and the latest rumours of the past week don’t exactly fire-up much encouragement that we’re about to get some miracle workers.
While we continue to limp along in limbo, here’s five reasons to be cheerful as Aston Villa fans…
1. Five Reasons Break
For five seasons now I’ve had to rustle up a weekly five reasons to be cheerful for Villa fans. How the f**k I’ve managed to do that, I’ll never know. So, after this particular season, this preseason break is most welcome indeed.
When we come back, lets hope all the reasons to be cheerful will be 100% legit ones. Winning games will certainly be a good start.
If you are a regular MOMS reader please help us carry on the good fight, and help keep us going through preseason and the next season by coming a Patron. We would be honoured and you will be up for some decent rewards every month – more MOMS Patrons details here.
In a world of suffocating click-bait and rehashing of stories, a supporter-funded website will certainly be our preferred way to deliver the best and most original website for Villa supporters. UTV

Agreed, how you have managed to find inspiration to do it for the last 4 years is a miracle.
Something we need at the club pretty soon if villa want to stay in the championship let alone win it…
Great round up David. How you’ve done it for 5 seasons on the trot…amazing achievement, and so optimistic too! You’ve earned a break, more than anyone in the Villa squad….
