Aston Villa legend Andy Gray is frustrated by their ownership problems.

The Birmingham Mail says Gray was speaking sports broadcaster and Villa season ticket holder Jonny Gould.

"I've been very anxious to see this thing brought to a settlement," Gray said. "Randy's lost his interest, there's no doubt about that.

"His lost his passion, he's lost his interest, he's lost his drive. That's fine, I understand that. But it's in limbo the club and it needs to be sold.

"But try as I might to maybe encourage one of the sheikhs to invest his multi millions in Aston Villa, I find it difficult.

"And what I also find difficult is Villa seems not to be an attractive proposition. I don't get it. When I look around Villa Park I see a magnificent stadium.

"When I look at the training ground I see a fantastic training ground. It's not like you're buying a club where you're going to have to build these things. You're not.

"I'm amazed how little interest has been shown in Villa. I don't know whether the reputation of Villa has dropped over the years and it's not as attractive? But you and I know the size and potential of this club."
