The former leader of Charlton and Tottenham has signed a four and a half years with Villa and becomes the second signing of Gerard Houllier January, after Jean Makoun, who arrived from Lyon for £ 6,000,000 last week.

Bent completed the medical examination and agreed personal terms and will be available to make his Villa debut against Manchester City on Saturday at Villa Park.

“Aston Villa is a massive football club and as soon as I heard they were interested in signing him, wanted to join,” said Bent. “The size of the football club and the club’s history are important reasons for me to come here.”

“There are some top players, superior in this case, the actual quality, and I have talked to the coach and the president about his ambitions for the club, so I’m very excited to be part of what we hope to achieve.”

Dave Whelan, chairman of Wigan Athletic, had said this morning in the English media that “the continuity of Martinez would make him very happy.” In addition, Whelan had high hopes for his pupil: “My feelings tell me that will stay with us a year before making the leap to a major European club. “

He was not mistaken in his bid Whelan. Perhaps because it is one of the better known Roberto Martinez as a person and coach. Do not forget Dave Whelan who was who in 1995 joined the Martinez Balaguer (Third Division) to play in the ranks of Wigan Athletic, then in the Third Division.

Dave Whelan who was also opted for Roberto Martinez in 2009 to replace Steve Bruce at the helm of a Premier League Wigan. ” It was realistic about this offer. If a big club like Aston Villa makes an offer that doubles your own, most people would jump. But Robert is not such men, “said proud Whelan in The Guardian.

According to the owner of Wigan, Roberto “This decision has thought long and hard. He wants to enjoy another twelve months doing his work here and still learning a lot,” he said. Now, the Spanish coach will face his third season at the club. “Together, Wigan and Roberto Martinez, make a great team.” Aston Villa continue to seek a coach.

After the rejection of Roberto Martinez, the favorite for the technical owner of the villains, Randy Lenner, Owen Coyle, manager of Bolton, looks best placed. Lenner seems to want a very different technique from Gerard Houllier, recently dismissed, without a name lavish and eager to grow. So, Randy Lenner and discarded, at first, Rafa Benitez and Steve McClaren for the post.

The Aston Villa took 71 years to recover the scepter of the first division, but the unexpected conquest opened the gates of glory: a triumph against all odds and at the expense of Bayern Munich in the final of the Champions League. FIFA.com reviews the history of the oldest club in the world’s oldest league.

The birth of an institution
in March 1874, Jack Hughes, Frederick Matthews, Walter Price and William Scattergood founded the Aston Villa Football Club. Six years later, the club won its first trophy, Birmingham Senior Cup with a victory against the Saltley College 3-1 in the final. The success was mainly due to the sublime dribbling and accurate passing of George Ramsay. Thereafter, the Glasgow-born striker took the reins and, with another Scot, Archie Hunter, irrepressible striker became the organizer of the assault on the Cup of England in 1887, in which the end of Aston were imposed at West Bromwich Albion. That crash led to the fierce rivalry between two neighbors. In its early years, the Aston Villa had already established with Birmingham City a competitive angry and hostile to the point that today, both Baggies and Blues are still bitter enemies of the Villains . Of course, as McGregor had been the instigator and architect of the Football League, the Aston Villa became a founding member of the national competition, which was declared runner-up in its inaugural season, though, I must say, with 11 points less the champion, Preston North End.

The forging of a legend
after finishing fourth in consecutive seasons, 1891/92 and 1892/93, and the stadium to attract more than 25,000 spectators, a figure unprecedented for the time, the Aston Villa finally crowned king of English football. In fact, with the magnificent John Devey at the head, the team won five first division titles and three cups of England between 1894 and 1900. During this period, the Villains also established two records that have remained in force until relatively recently: the only goal in the final of the Cup of England in 1895 against West Bromwich Albion, who scored in the second Bob Chatt 30, remained the riser of the more decisive matches of the competition until Louis Saha, Everton, punched the rival goal in the second 25 of the end of 2009, while the domestic double that won the club in 1897 was not repeated Tottenham Hotspur until emulated the feat in 1961.

The Aston Villa was the first club adopted the colors maroon and blue, so popular today, before the beginning of the twentieth century. The team won its sixth division title first in 1910, thanks to the great Joe Bache intervention and goals from Harry Hampton. The trophies stopped coming in the windows of the club after his sixth Cup players rise up in England in 1920. The drought did not stop Villa unconditional delight in the genius of a whole sky of stars and idols of the stairs, as Tom “Pongo” Waring, a dazzling and elusive striker, who trained only when he pleased, author of the auparon 49 goals to the Villa to second place in league table for 1930-1931 (only Dixie Dean, with 60 in 1927/28, has scored more goals in a season in the top English). From 1929 to 1947, the midfielder Eric Houghton freaked the audience with their lethal gunfire from afar, and late 1940, the striker Trevor Ford dazzled the crowd.

The Aston Villa returned to winning ways in the final Cup England 1957, where Peter McParland said with a brace of stunning victory (2-1) against Manchester United which included Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton. In 1961, Aston Villa were crowned champions of the first edition of the League Cup.

Twenty years later, the team ended the drought in the first division title that had lasted 71 years. Arsenal, Ipswich Town, Liverpool, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest started this campaign engaged in what seemed an exclusive battle for the title, but the 14 men of Ron Saunders, the only coach he used during 42 games, slipped into the party. The captain Dennis Mortimer, Gordon Cowans midfielder, young Gary Shaw and Peter Withe strike partner contributed significantly to this success. That same quartet played a crucial work in the boom that the club the following year.

Saunders left office in January, when the Aston Villa was in the middle of the first division table, and replaced him with his assistant, Tony Barton inexperienced. However, despite not raise its head in the national championship, finishing in 12th place, the team knocked out Dynamo Kiev and Anderlecht on the way to the final of the European Cup, which came with the poster victim of a powerful Bayern Munich which had in its ranks with Paul Breitner, Dieter Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Above expectations
Black clouds hovered over Aston Villa in the 10th minute for the injury and consequent withdrawal of goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer her weathered. His deputy, Nigel Spink rookie, had played a single match with the professional team, but was able to reject one after another rush of Bayern. In minute 67, the English scored the only goal, the result of a beautiful play of Tony Morley, in the end got rid of his marker and crossed for Withe, who drilled the German goal from close range. Eight months later, the Villa lifted the European Super Cup after beating Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate one.

The team fell to second in 1987, but returned to the elite at the first attempt, and powered by two promising young Cowans, the prolific midfielder David Platt and Tony Daley speedy winger, was declared runner-up in first division in 1990. The Villains repeated the second end of the inaugural Premier League in the 1992/93 season.

The rest of the decade was largely ineffective for the club, although he could console himself with the conquest of two League Cups and the signing of great heroes such as Paul McGrath, Dean Saunders and Dalian Atkinson Dwight Yorke. Now First six years of the century went through more pain than glory for Aston Villa , but everything changed with the arrival of manager Martin O’Neill in 2006. Although the first season with the Northern Irishman on his stool, the team finished in the middle of the table, has aupado to sixth in the last three seasons. Earlier this year, reached the final of the League Cup, losing at the hands of Manchester United (2-1). The club has mastered the “second derby” of the city of Birmingham. To date, only Everton has played more seasons of top flight league that Aston Villa , a club that has given the selection of England more international players than any other.

The stadium
During his early years, the largest of the Midlands spent several seasons at Aston Park and Perry Barr. In 1897, Villa Park made ​​its headquarters and operations center. Villa Park stands out as the first stage of England has hosted an international football match in three different centuries, and as the scene of more Cup semi-final England. The 76,588 spectators in 1946 attended the first leg of their Cup quarter-final against Derby County, resulted in the defeat of the premises for 3-4 are counted as the largest attendance of the public who has seen the stadium. However, the total capacity of the enclosure does not exceed the 43,000 locations.
