Question. Did Hughton have total say in our transfer dealings this summer?...

I ask this as I have read in numerous articles that Paul Lambert was "told" by the Norwich City board when we won promotion to the PL to sign young, hungry players from the lower leagues.
Ward was given a 1 year extension before Hughton arrived as were several other players if I remember rightly. Martin and Surman were given new 3 year deals either before or just after Hughton arrived.
The other signings of Butterfield, Snodgrass and Whittaker for some reason don't strike me as the sort of players that Hughton would go for.
Are there other people other than the manager influencing player contracts and transfer dealings at our club?
