Aston Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner and chairman Randy Lerner have released a statement stating their intent to fully stand by manager Alex McLeish and his squad during their tough time.
The West Midlands club have won just one of their past 13 Premier League matches to find themselves sitting three points above the drop zone.
It has been a very poor run of form from Villa but the club hierarchy are determined to stick together in order to remain in the top flight under the management of the under-fire McLeish.
"A win was in sight last night against Bolton after a strong start and the tenacity the team displayed, although ultimately we weren't able to hold on for the points.
"We very openly acknowledge the frustrations of Villa fans and share in them completely.
"What matters to us and the board at this moment is how we, as a club, handle adversity and the pressure it brings.
"Our horizon is the next three games and we continue to be in control of our own destiny.
"Young players side-by-side with more senior players are fighting hard for the club.
"They are now preparing for West Brom followed by Spurs and Norwich.
"We will continue to support and rely on our manager and the squad and therefore give them our full support.
"We are totally conscious, as is everyone at the club, that this is a very trying time for those who love Aston Villa.
"We know that the team will continue to fight through every minute of the remaining games and we hope Villa fans will continue to show their great support.""Right now everyone connected with Villa is hurting badly," read the statement on the club's official website.
