Paul Lambert admits he could have done things better at Aston Villa - but the former manager insists he left the club in a healthier position.

Lambert's 33-month Villa Park reign came to an end when he was sacked last month with Villa in the Premier League relegation zone.

Speaking on BBC's Football Focus programme, Lambert revealed he has no hard feelings towards anybody at Villa.

And although Villa were in the bottom three when he departed, he believes they are in a much stronger position financially.

"I don't have any bad things (to say) about Aston Villa," said Lambert.

"It's a brilliant football club as everybody kows. I came in at a really tough time and obviously when the financial reports came out the losses are way down now.

"From my point of view the club's in a much healthier position than when I first went in there.

"It's a great club, great people I've left behind, good people I've left behind."

"There's times when you look back when you think maybe I should have done that better or different, but I've got nothing but good things about the club."
