Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan has jumped to the
defence of the club's owner, Randy Lerner.
It has been a frustrating season for Villa and Lerner,
valued at over £1billion, recently hinted he may sell the
club after eight years at the helm.
However, Guzan has insisted that Lerner, who also owned
the Cleveland Browns in the NFL for ten years, does not
deserve criticism and has moved the club in the right
direction.
"Randy has been a really good owner," the 29-year-old
said in The Sun.
"Despite where we are in the league, the club is in a
better place than before he arrived.
"He understands the history and the passion of Aston
Villa.
"You don't always see that, with Americans especially.
"He's built a beautiful training ground, improved the
stadium and cleared the club's debts.
"To criticise him after spending upwards of £250million of
his own money - that is extremely harsh."
