USA coach Bob Bradley isn't in the running for the Aston Villa job.
The Sunday Mirror says Bradley is not seen as a viable option because Lerner is aware the fans don't want him due to his lack of European experience.
Former player Ian Taylor warned: "All the fans that I've spoken to want a bigger name than Bradley as the next Villa manager.
"The most common thing you hear from them is they want someone who has actually managed in the league - or knows what the Premier League is all about."
