Lost his job at Gainsborough Trinity so I'm lead to believe.

Surely there's still room for him at Villa in some capacity?

Been quite a fall considering how well he did here. Has he just failed to change with the times, or is he no longer interested in the limelight?

His career has all been downhill since the moment that Doug got the hots for SVC.

I would also like him to be some way working at the Villa again.

I think that time has passed, sadly I can't think of much a role where he could help too much at Villa. Maybe in an ambassadorial role, but Ian Taylor's already baggsied that spot hasn't he? I reckon he would be just as happy continuing his work for Sky,  maybe writing the odd column for the Meaning Evil and getting himself a season ticket at the Home of World Football, as he always said he would.

He was a pundit on Setanta Ireland a good bit last season.

Very sad. I always thought he'd make it back to the Premier League as a manager. He did so well in the 90s.

What a shame his managerial career has ended with the sack from a Conference North side. I'm surprised he took the job in the first place, and Wrexham too for that matter. Let's hope he finds something rewarding to do away from management.

As well as player and manager he also worked in the shop/development association and commercial department after he finished playing. So there aren't many roles at Villa he hasn't had already.

Why do Brian Little keep losing his jobs as he is a good manager until the arrival of Stanley Victor Collymore. Could without the work of John Gregory and Allan Evans he doesn't seem to do well.
