Villa sources dismiss O’Neill quit rumours

ASTON VILLA sources yesterday dismissed reports which claimed manager Martin O’Neill had quit the midlands club.

Radio and internet reports suggested O’Neill had decided to end his four-year reign at Villa Park following disagreements with club owner Randy Lerner over his transfer budget for next season.

O’Neill’s odds to be the next Barclays Premier League manager to leave his post were slashed from 66-1 to 7-1.
