Despite a poor run of results in the Premier League, not many goals and a stadium full of disgruntled fans, Aston Villa’s chief executive Tom Fox said on Wednesday manager Paul Lambert had the full support of American owner Randy Lerner.
.
Villa, who started the season brightly and were second in the middle of September, have slipped to 15th in the table, the same lowly position they ended last season.
.
Lambert’s misfiring side have taken only 12 points from their last 18 league games, but Fox told BBC Sport sacking Lambert mid-season would be like ‘flipping a coin’.
.
He explained: “When things aren’t going well, fans bay for that type of blood. That’s not the way that I or the owner are going to make a decision. It’s a false narrative.”
.
Since beating Leicester City on December 7, Villa have gone seven league games without a win and scored only one league goal.
.
They have fared better.
