ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 9 February 2002
Graham Taylor unexpectedly returns as Villa boss nearly 12 years since his last match in charge of the club.
Since leaving in 1990 Taylor has received significant reputational damage as England boss and in sudsequent club managerment roles.
Despite that however Taylor was welcomed on the strength of his past Villa achievements alone as he is greeted with a euphoric reception for his transformative work on the club between 1987-90 but few are fooled that the appointment of a veteran manager with little understanding of modern football and footballers is anything but an effort to shore up the power base of a cynical Chairman. That Taylor is used as a pawn in this way is distinctly uncomfortable.
Villa are now unbeaten in five - including this creditable draw with Chelsea but are yet to win in the post-Gregory era.
