Darren Bent: Villa need ‘fresh approach’

Darren Bent believes Aston Villa will benefit from a fresh approach after Paul Lambert’s sacking and backed the club to stay up.

Manager Lambert was axed on Wednesday night with Villa third from bottom in the Premier League and winless in 10 games.

The striker and Lambert fell out at Villa and was loaned to Fulham and Brighton before he joined Derby on a season-long loan last month. The ex-England man believes a new manager can now lift the club.
