Paul Lambert has told Alan Hutton his Aston
Villa career is OVER because of his mega-wages.
Right-back Hutton has been forced to train
with the Villans' youth team all season with no club taking him on loan.
He has been included in Scotland's squad
for next month's friendly in Poland, despite not playing a competitive club
game all season.
Hutton is understood to earn £40,000 a week
and is still contracted until next summer.
Lambert has ditched a series of players
including big-earners Darren Bent and Shay Given - but he is adamant he has not
had a bust-up with Hutton.
He said: "There's never been any fall-out;
I just want to help him to get a loan move. It will be unlikely he will ever
play here - he knows that.
"We need to get the [wage] structure
down to a level. We have to look at the books and get it down a bit and Alan
understands.
"Is it all to do with money? More or
less, yes. Do we settle up with him? No, I'm not so sure, that comes down to
the hierarchy.

"Alan trains away with the development
squad; his fitness is not a problem. And his performances for the national team
have been good.
"The thing I can't understand is why
no-one has come in for him. It's baffling me because he's playing well for the
national side; he is good and works hard in training.
"If Alan went on loan, we would help
that club on the financial side of things."
Hutton was loaned out to Spain's Real
Mallorca for the second half of last season, and MirrorFootball reported in
September that three Spanish clubs had looked at borrowing him in the summer
window but could not agree terms.
He was also loaned to Nottingham Forest for
six weeks in November 2012.
So far this season, his only six
appearances have been for Scotland - in World Cup qualifiers against Belgium,
Macedonia and Croatia and friendy meetings with England, the USA and Norway.
The 29-year-old was signed by Villa in
August 2011, and made his last first-team appearance for them at the end of
that season.
Villa - only four points above the
relegation places with 12 matches to play - have been away on a training trip
to Portugal as they did not have a match last weekend, and Lambert reckons it's
done his squad good...
