Gary McAllister is unsure where he stands at Aston Villa.
The Mirror says the club's caretaker boss has gone on holiday with his situation unclear and is sweating over the identity of the new Villa boss.
McAllister has no guarantees that he will be staying, as Lerner draws up a short-list with a view to making an appointment next week.
Villa are delaying their appointment as chief executive Paul Faulkner is away this weekend.
