BIRMINGHAM, England :  Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner says he is looking to sell the Premier League club.
  

Lerner's announcement on Monday comes at the end of another season when the central England club came close to relegation.
 
The American businessman says "I feel further that now is the time for me to look for new ownership and thus new leadership."
 
Lerner bought Villa in 2006 for 62.2 million pounds and says "the last several seasons have been week-in, week-out battles."
