  • Up next are Grimsby at Villa Park who sit bottom on goals but who already have a game in hand on Villa.

  • Although form under McMullan had been poor for a signifcant period, it is a shock to most observers when it is revealed the manager, who had signed a one year extension to remain in post for 1935-36, resigned his position following Villa's latest defeat.

  • Unsurprisingly the resignation was accepted by Chairman Normansell and it was revealed that Villa would revert to the management committee structure for the remainder of the campaign.

  • McMullan left with a record of Played 55, Won 17 (31%), Lost 23 (42%) at a rate of 1.20 points per game.
