Villa boss Lambert: I'll never quit

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert says he'd never consider walking away.

The Scot was in New York last week for talks with Villa owner Randy Lerner.

"If you quit once you'll quit twice and if you quit twice you'll quit three times. I'm certainly not a quitter," he said. "The last two years have been really, really hard but the statement last Monday said what it said (that the club was for sale) and the next few weeks and months will be testing that's for sure.

"I went to America with an open mind and honesty. I have always been honest with the chairman and never thought 'I'm not going to say that'.

"I've had to help this football club and I did the best I could do. The main thing was to stay in this league. That was the main situation."
