Villa boss Lambert plans Lerner talks over slashing wage bill

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert admits he needs to speak with chairman Randy Lerner over unwanted trio Alan Hutton, Darren Bent and Shay Given.

Collectively the trio will cost Villa over £150,000-a-week in wages - or around £7.8m a year.

"I think the money and the wages will be a conversation I have with Randy at the end," said Lambert.

"When it's all finished and done and dusted I'm pretty sure him and I will sit down somewhere and discuss what's going to happen."
