West Ham United boss David Moyes will have final say on transfer policy this summer.

The recruitment structure has moved from co-owner David Sullivan, to former director of football Mario Husillos - who was responsible for disastrous additions such as goalkeeper Roberto and left with Manuel Pellegrini in December - but is now largely under Moyes's control.

"I wouldn't do the job if I didn't have the final say," Moyes said. "I'm too experienced. I wouldn't be in a situation where if I wasn't going to get that opportunity, I wouldn't do it.

"We lose our jobs by our decisions and I want it to be that way where if I don't do the job well enough I want it to be because of my decisions, that's the way I want it.

"We'll work together, of course I always work together with the owners, the relationship is really important.

"My relationship with Bill Kenwright at Everton was incredible and it was probably the reason we rebuilt Everton from a team around the bottom of the Premier League to a team every year that was either challenging for the Champions League, qualifying for the Europa League and being around those places every year."
