Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists he won't sell off their best players.
Lambert is determined to hold onto Villa's stars to give them a fighting chance while the club searches for a new owner.
He said: "I think you'll still have the final say with who came and who went. You would have that on your side.
"I don't visualise anyone leaving without my permission, that's fair to say.
"To be fair to Randy (Lerner), the chairman will let me decide over on that side."
