Prime Minister David Cameron quipped today that he would try and get his rich Arab friends to make a bid for his beloved Aston Villa.

On a flying visit to the Bimingham Mail's Fort Dunlop offices today he took time to share his thoughts on what Aston Villa needed to do to get back on track.

See the moment below where he offered to find Villa a new megabucks backer while talking to Birmingham Mail Editor Dave Brookes and Online Sports Writer Gregg Evans.

Mr Cameron added that what the club needs is long-term investment regardless of the nationality of the owner.

Looking ahead to the Hull match he said: "It will be a nervous day, we’re a little too close to the bottom, I hope it will be alright in the end.”

Asked if he had any advice for Randy Lerner or Paul Lambert he said: “I’ll pick the cabinet, I’ll let the manager pick the team. That’s the right way round.

“The frustrating thing is we’ve beaten some of the good sides, most recently Chelsea, but we’ve lost against some of the teams near the bottom of the league.

“The thing I’m kicking myself about this year is having taken my son to the 8-0 spanking we got from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, not going the game where we won 1-0. That must have been a happy day in an otherwise difficult season.

“I watched it on the telly with my son and my brother-in-law who are both Chelsea fans and that was a happy day.”
