Talk about a bombshell out of nowhere.

O'Neill's frustration reached a boiling point with the club. The only main transfer story surrounding them this summer has been James Milner possibly leaving.

They haven't been interested in buying any players to improve the squad for Villa to take the step needed for them to get to the levels of where Tottenham and Manchester City are trying or have arrived in the Top 4 level.

Though the official word on why he quit isn't out yet, that most likely is the reason why this news on the days leading towards the start of the season has come as a major shock throughout the league.

It could not have come at a worse time for the fans of the Villains, as this could be a make or break season for the club. And with O'Neill decision, it surely looks like the "breaking" will occur over the "making."
