Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert was short with reporters yesterday over their management turmoil.
Villa, who today welcome Saints to Villa Park, announced this week that assistant boss Ian Culverhouse and head of football operations Gary Karsa had been suspended, but no explanation was given.
"You need to appreciate that due to it being a legal investigation I can't really comment on anything," he said in a brief opening gambit.
Pressed for further information, he went on: "I've given a comment and I hope you respect that. I respect you asking the question and I think you have to respect my answer.
"If you want to talk about the football side of things and results I'm happy to answer."
