(Reuters) - Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner will release a statement on his future after the club's final game of the season next week amid increasing speculation both he and manager Paul Lambert will depart after another narrow escape from relegation.

A 3-1 home win over FA Cup finalists Hull City on Saturday ensured the former European Champions will remain in the English Premier League for another year after a second difficult season under Lambert, who has worked under a much smaller budget than his predecessors.
