Alan Hutton rips into Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has cast the former Rangers right-back into the wilderness. Tonight Hutton hopes he can show everyone that Lambert is in the wrong.

 

ALAN HUTTON last night ripped into Aston Villa for leaving his career in limbo.

 

However, he insisted helping Scotland put the brakes on Belgium tonight will prove he can play at the highest level.

 

The Aston Villa right-back, bossed by former Scotland captain Paul Lambert, enjoyed a successful loan spell with Real Mallorca last term and expected to be allowed to return to La Liga on Monday after his club received three offers from Spain.

 

But Villa refused to sanction another loan move and Hutton, who has been frozen out and told he has no future at the Premier League side, now doesn’t know when he’ll play club football again.

 

The defender will be able to move to a Championship club on loan from next week but at the moment his dream of a return to Spain is over.

 

Hutton said: “I had a few opportunities to go back to Spain – there were a few options. Mallorca want me back but I had three options to go back to La Liga and none of them could agree terms.

 

“It’s left me in a position where I am not too sure what is going to happen.

 

“It is very frustrating. If you could picture me that day I was bouncing off the walls but to actually have options – not just one – to go to different teams and they can’t, or aren’t willing to agree terms is very annoying.

 

“I was desperate to leave and nothing comes of it and you are on a bit of a downer. Monday was a nightmare of a day.

 

“But it’s not just that. Even before pre-season I had options to leave and they still couldn’t agree terms. Then a month down the line they still can’t do it.”

 

Hutton revealed a group of outcasts were forced to train together and expressed his delight that Scotland team-mate Barry Bannan who moved to Crystal Palace on deadline day, managed to escape.

 

He said: “There were lots of us; Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland – I am talking international players. Charles N’Zogbia, who have just been put to the side and for me it is not what should be done. We are not kids.

 

“I was buzzing for Barry that he got out because he is a great player and doesn’t deserve to be treated like that. Unfortunately for myself it didn’t come off and I am angry about it.”

His career bombed after he left us.

His career bombed after he left us.

 

True.

 

I wonder if he will play for Scotland tonight?,will Wallace start?. Wallace is match fit and Hutton is not!.

Arrogant twat.

 

I felt he was a bit unlucky at Spurs, Redknapp came in and chose his own team when Hutton was playing well, but a move to Villa should have been good for him.

His performance tonight won't be convincing anyone to give him a game in a good team. The only time he got the better of the guy he was up against for most of the game was after 70 odd minutes when he smacked him in the nuts.

Hutton has been dire since leaving us. Lambert is a quality manager.

Lambert is an excellent football manager.

Very few players from the SPL ever do well in England. Petrov was a world beater at Celtic but average at Villa. Cuellar did well at Villa but initially but faded away. Only Barry Ferguson to me stands out as someone who really held his own when at Birmingham he had a superb season.

 

Jelavic is a complete failure. Most non old firm players end up in league 2 if they are lucky.

Always liked Hutton. I feel sorry for him.
