The owner of Aston Villa, Randy Lerner put up to sale the Premier League club but hasn’t received any real offers of anyone interested of controlling the club. As a way to cut up some of the wage bills of players, Lerner delivered orders to slash the wages of certain players including: Shay Given, Darren Bent and Alan Hutton.

Alan Hutton had been loaned out to Bolton Wanderers, Notthingham Forest and Mallorca for 2 seasons but now he has been given the chance to reignite his Premier League career as he was featured in the opening match of the season for Aston Villa and indeed the Scottish defender played an important role in his clubs’ victory against Stoke City.

The experienced defender neutralized almost all the threats that arrived from the right wing as he helped Aston Villa picking up their first away triumph since New Year’s Day.

Despite having his wages slashed and not playing an important role in Aston Villa as well as having to spend a few seasons on different clubs, Alan Hutton says that he only wants to focus in the future and forget about everything that has happened.

Alan Hutton went on saying to the media that certain things that happened was out of his control and he couldn’t do anything about it: “Was I a victim of politics? Yeah, but at the end of the day football is also a business and you need to respect the decisions which come from high above.

“It’s one of those things which happen in football, and you can only keep your head down and keep working. Because it was beyond my control there was nothing much else I could do – I just went in and trained every day, kept going and kept my head up. I’ve got a family behind me who supported me all the way and that was really a plus. I was always in touch with the manager, even when I went out on loan, and there was never anything bad between us. It was just a situation we were in’’
