Tim Sherwood has claimed he did not have the final say over transfers at Aston Villa.

The former Villa boss, sacked last month, insisted the club's transfer committee discussed targets with owner Randy Lerner giving the green light to signings.

"There was a committee, which I was part of - so I had a say in the players I wanted to bring into the football club," he told TV station BeIN Sports.

"We ended up signing 12 players, although there were a lot more players given to the committee than 12, and we ended up with what we ended up with.

"I believe that those players in time will be good players for the football club, but when you bring in a lot of players from other countries that have not played and experienced the Premier League before, the competitive nature of it, it is going to take time.

"I certainly had a say, but the final say? It was more of a combined collective decision and ultimately the man who puts his hand in his pocket is the one who has to make that decision. Randy Lerner has spent an awful lot of his money at that football club for a long, long period of time."

I can't think where but that vaguely sounds a familiar story to me

Who says we are the only club?

A number of clubs do it this way.

Well you can't blame the clubs after the way some of them had their fingers burn't recently.Now that is vaguely familiar.

Then why don't these lunatic owners become managers then as its the pretend manager they employ who face the rap over anything that comes from the club results wise. Football's going down the pan.
