Lerner puts Villa up for sale
Print Edition
AMERICAN businessman Randy Lerner put Aston Villa up for sale yesterday after eight years in control of the Premier League club, saying he was drained by the “week-in, week-out battles.”
Lerner’s future plans have been the subject of intense speculation following another season when the central England club, the European Cup champion in 1982, came close to relegation.
“I have come to know well that fates are fickle in the business of English football. And I feel that I have pushed mine well past the limit,” Lerner said in a statement. “I feel further that now is the time for me to look for new ownership and thus new leadership.”
Lerner bought Villa in 2006 for 62.2 million pounds. During his time as owner, Villa reached the League Cup final in 2010, losing to Manchester United, and finished sixth in the Premier League for three straight seasons from 2008-10. It finished 15th in the 20-team league this season.
