Aston Villa manager Remi Garde is willing to stay with the club if they get relegated as long as he is given resources to get them straight back into the Premier League.

Garde, 49, took over from Tim Sherwood in November and has overseen a slow but steady improvement in results.

Despite a 2-0 win over relegation rivals Norwich last Saturday, Villa are rooted to the bottom of the table and are still eight points from safety with only 13 matches left.

Villa failed to make a single signing in the January transfer window and Garde said potential signings were put off by the club's league position, while owner Randy Lerner was also reluctant to spend too heavily.
