'It wasn't a shock the way results were going': Aston Villa legend Tony Daley admits he wasn't surprised to see Steven Gerrard lose his job... and backs Sean Dyche to take over as he compares the former Burnley boss to Graham Taylor

For those Aston Villa fans who bump into club legend Tony Daley at Sunday's home game with Brentford, it will be a reminder of happier times.

Daley was part of a great Villa team who twice finished league runners-up under Graham Taylor and Ron Atkinson and beat Alex Ferguson’s mighty Manchester United at Wembley to lift the League Cup in 1994.

It’s quite a contrast to their current status just outside the relegation zone on goal difference and searching for their eighth manager in eight years after sacking Steven Gerrard on Thursday night.
