Aston Villa: Owner Randy Lerner to put club up for sale

Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner is expected to announce on Monday that the Premier League club will be put up for sale, BBC Sport has learned.
More to follow.

[Jimbo]

There's a big difference between put up for sale, and sold. To announce the former, without any immediate likelihood of the latter, would be deflating to say the least.

PM saying rumours of a deal wide of the mark. this could be very bad news

[ozzjim]

I really hope that it is not left rudderless.

We will end up like a dilapidated house falling down with costs of repair way out of financial reach if not careful.

If the statement only says we are now up for sale, they've somehow managed to do the very worst thing they could possibly have done, again!

I guess its not really news, but more final confirmation of what we already know.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh dear it sounds like the worst possible news.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I've just read on Twitter that Louis Spence has bought a new pair of jeggings. I think purples and mauves are very much this summer's colours lads.

AVOID PASTELS.

Who do we need to contact for viewings?

[Brend'Watkins]

Up for sale is not as good as sold.  Then again it is of the utmost importance we find the right buyer and soon.

[NeilH]

I sincerely hope that this announcement has been released knowing that we already have buyers lined up, as quite frankly the last damn thing we need right now is total uncertainty of the club being on the market. It would certainly mean that Lambert will stay, as no owner in his right mind who is looking to sell, will wish to pay compensation out to sack a manager.

[PaulWinch again]

A summer in limbo will end up with us being relegated.

[ROBBO]

If this is correct then again its a repetition of the total incompetence that has been shown over the last few years.

[David_Nab]

If the statement only says we are now up for sale, they've somehow managed to do the very worst thing they could possibly have done, again!

Agreed leaves us rudderless with an owner that doesn't want us , a manager out of his depth and a squad not good enough.We can't get away going 10 games with one win and stay in the league again.
