Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has criticized Manchester City over its attempts to sign midfielder James Milner.
Lerner, who also owns the NFL's Cleveland Browns, claims City broke Premier League rules in its pursuit of Milner.
Lerner told The Mail on Sunday newspaper that ''big, bad Manchester City came along and asked for Milner and we said, 'No, he is not for sale.'''
The American added that ''under the rules you have to respect that. Manchester City respected that for two whole days. And then they violated the rules and came in for him again.''

Lerner insists Villa is ''not a selling club.''
The club is looking for a new manager following Martin O'Neill's resignation on Monday. Villa began the season Saturday with a 3-0 win over West Ham.
