The Aston Villa Supporters' Trust has directed strong words at the club following their "dreadful start to the season" and called for the alleged "infighting" to stop.
It said the board should decide whether manager Tim Sherwood is the man to lead the club and publicly back him - or move on and leave a new coach enough time to turn things around. Villa are currently second from bottom in the Premier League and have one win out of the last nine.
The statement, external read: "For two weeks now there have been stories leaking out of Villa Park, seemingly from both the manager and the club, and the AVST demand that this is brought to an end. Pantomime season does not start for another two months."
