Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood was happy to meet with chairman Randy Lerner this week.
Sherwood met Lerner on Tuesday as he checked in on training.
He said: "We had a good chat, he wished me all the best and, whatever decision chairmen make, they do it for the best of the club and Randy is no different. He wished me well.
"I'm confident in what I do on the training field, I don't have to dress it up any differently. I didn't put any bells and whistles on it because Randy was watching.
"I really think they (the players) are buying into what I'm trying to tell them, It's not the Krypton Factor. It's a gradual process, Rome wasn't built in a day and it's going to take time.
"We know we're running out of time and we're aiming to get the best out of this group as soon as possible, starting Saturday (against Stoke)."
