Former Aston Villa player and manager Brian Little is to be part of a boardroom shake-up at Villa Park.The 62-year-old Villa legend has been lined up to join the board, along with former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein, reports BBC WM.They are to become the latest boardroom appointments by chairman Steve Hollis, who brought in Lord Mervyn King in February.The Premier League's bottom club have yet to confirm the appointments.But it is understood that confirmation will arrive in the coming days.The moves mark a step towards a more football-orientated board, following on from the appointment of Lord King, the former governor of the Bank of England and a Villa supporter.He was the first to be brought in by Birmingham businessman Hollis.Little was a player for a decade at Villa Park, winning one cap for England before injuries wrecked his career.He then made a successful return to the club as manager between 1994 and 1998, leading them to the League Cup and twice achieving top-five finishes for the club, who have been part of the Premier League since it was formed in 1992.Bernstein, 72, became chairman of the FA in 2011, a role he has also filled for Wembley Stadium Limited since 2008.Villa are currently bottom of the Premier League, eights points clear of safety, ahead of Sunday's home date with Tottenham Hotspur.
