Paul Lambert gets Aston Villa backing

Manager Paul Lambert has received the full backing of Aston Villa. The club's chief exec Tom Fox indicated that the Scottish coach will be given more time to lead the side.

Having only taken 12 points from their last 18 games, Lambert has come under increasing pressure.

Despite that, supremo Tom Fox insists that Lambert will be staying: "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."
