ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 1 January 1986
Graham Turner’s Villa open 1986 with a sixth loss in eight League games as they lose to 16th placed Manchester City managed by Billy McNeill.
As a result, Villa now have just five wins in twenty five Division One games and twelve defeats as they sit in 18th place in the table, three points off the drop zone.
Villa open 1986 with defeat and now have one win in ten first division games under an increasingly pressurised Graham Turner. Meanwhile youth team coach Brian Little quits as Turner refuses to back him in improving the set up.
