Martin O'Neill revealled the American billionaire had ordered the builders back to work. The year-long project, which was originally supposed to be finished next month, is now on course to be finished next summer and the news is music to O'Neill's ears. "He took me up to see the new training ground on Thursday and by Friday morning I arrived to find the builders are ready to go - now that's quick," said O'Neill. "I just think he wanted to show the Villa fans he's going to try and do what he set out to do. He's really excited. I may have read this hopelessly, but I think it's a football excitement rather than a business excitement. His heart and soul is in."
