Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner today apologised to the club's supporters for his lack of communication and visible presence at matches this season.

The American quashed rumours that he wanted to sell the club at the weekend and has subsequently revealed he realises he should have attended more games and kept fans better informed on certain issues.

Lerner said: "Part of my job is to be visible – even while remaining, some might suggest, quiet to silent – and I've not done that well enough.

"I know that to some extent and I've been at this long enough for people to know that I'm committed and yet at the same time, given the craziness we've faced over the last 18 months, I should have done more.

"Certainly, I could have been more communicative. My focus is on the nuts and bolts of operating the club and in reality this takes place in the week."
