LITTLE TO RECONSIDER FUTURE

WEST BROM boss Brian Little has strongly hinted that he will reconsider his future at The Hawthorns following the sale of winger Kevin Kilbane to Sunderland.

The former Leicester and Aston Villa manager is angry that he was not consulted over the £2.5 million sale of the Republic of Ireland international and has called for a meeting with the Albion board to clarify where his responsibilities lie and what funds are available for new players.

"I think I need to be given a complete directive here as to what people want from me," Little said.

"If I`m honest, I would have said that we should have hung on for more money for Kevin, but I wasn`t asked that question.

"I can`t remember any time, at any stage in the previous 12 years in management, me not having the direct final yes on a player or a fee and that`s disappointing."

"I don`t like decisions being made that affect me, that I don`t make. If I make mistakes, it`s my mistake, but if decisions are made and they aren`t my decisions, then that`s no good."
