The 1994-95 season wasAston Villa's 120th professional season, their 84th season in the top flight and their 7th consecutive season in the top tier of English football (the third in thePremier League).
Two seasons earlier, Aston Villa narrowly missed out on the league title. The season after that, they dipped to 10th place in the league but still had success asLeague Cup winners. But the decline continued into1994–95 andRon Atkinson paid with his job in November. Within days, former Villa favouriteBrian Little was back at the club. Little managed to keep Villa clear of the drop.
Before the season was over, a new era was already in the making atVilla Park. A number of players now past their best were off-loaded to new clubs; these includedRay Houghton,Garry Parker,Kevin Richardson andEarl Barrett. The close season saw more players from the Atkinson era pass through the Villa Park exit door:Shaun Teale,Dalian Atkinson,Dean Saunders andJohn Fashanu.
Little brought in younger players likeAlan Wright (260),Ian Taylor (233),Mark Draper (120),Gary Charles (107),Savo Milosevic (90),Nii Lamptey (10), andCarl Tiler (12) to give some much-needed strength to a side of fading stars, as well as giving such much-needed hope to fans of a club which had been rescued from the threat of a rapid decline. Defender Tiler was sold toSheffield United for £500,000 after just 18 months at the club, having played just 12 league games due to injury.
