"We feel that for the good of the club and its future Mr Ellis must take stock of his position before further damage is done to our once great club. “This decline has occurred during his period as chairman and paid director." Statement from the Aston Villa Shareholders Association. "We just let the game slip. “For some of the players the game just passed them by. "I would imagine some can't remember much about it. “At least two or three of them looked in a bit of a dream. "It will obviously be difficult to get over the defeat. “I have never experienced a disappointment of this magnitude. “But it has got to be forgotten by tomorrow.” Graham Turner.
