Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill will discuss his future at the club this summer, but insisted any transfer budget put in place will not have a baring on his final decision.
Following rumours circulating last week that O’Neill was set to leave his post after the heavy defeat at Chelsea, he denied such accusations and stated he would discuss the situation with chairman Randy Lerner in June.
Having admitted to being ‘overwhelmed’ by the away following of the fans during the victory at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, O’Neill said any cap placed on available funds would not form a deciding factor in his decision on whether or not to remain at Villa Park.
"If that situation did develop, that wouldn't necessarily mean I would go and down tools and say, 'Well, listen, we can't go any further,'" O'Neill said in The Observer.
"What you would do is see if you can come up with some other ways, maybe through the scheme here with the younger players coming through, maybe with a bit of trading here and there, maybe taking a risk with a major player to be transferred [out] to sort things out.
"You wouldn't just down tools. It's not been in my nature to do that. I couldn't envisage that sort of scene - just throwing the toys out of the pram.”
Despite concerns from some supporters that the club has faded since Christmas, the west Midlands outfit have had a strong season, reaching the League Cup final, the FA Cup semi-final and still being in the race for fourth spot.
