Seems unlikely to me.

Correction: Pat Murphy in saying

"Discussions imminent over RDM's back-ups" was meaning his staff, not alternative managers.

His general position was we have to be patient for the cautious PL & FL ruling to come through, I suspect it'll all be fine and is just taking longer than we want, which sparks rumour-mongering.

That's what I am guessing it is. It is a combination of the unknown and the urgency to get this all done. It appears to have be taking longer than it is but it probably isn't. With little else going on we are watching the clock which doesn't make time go any faster. And the fact that Pearson moved on, RDM was alleged to be in talks with Lazio but hasn't gone there suggests to me at least that we have our manager and are just waiting for the official green light to make a whole series of announcements. It will happen soon.

The funds to do the deal thing would already have been sorted, it's most probably nonsense.

[andyh]

I wondered how long it would be before a 'story' broke that the deal had collapsed.

[Steve67]

Hopefully, RDM is busy thinking about transfer targets whilst waiting for the rubber stamp. No doubts the club will have had offers for players.

[VinnieChase84]

I do think this is just speculation to fill silence.
Evening mail make a note in their latest article that all this is scare mongering

[aj2k77]

Well you know it's the bull shit to end all bull shits when even the Evening Mail call it out as bull shit.

Someone told him to calm his skin and he basically said I am tell that to the villa fans. I don't mind the extra scrutiny

[Phil from the upper holte]

He's buying Aston Villa not a paper shop

As somebody already said, when we smash Small Heath next season the Meaning Evil will write it up as match fixing.

A Journo on Twitter with 20k followers has said this am that the deal is on the rocks, over Xai's ability to raise the funds 🙈

He's got 430mill in his bank  account and owns 80 other companies
What could go wrong ffs

[brian green]

Yes he was good in those.  I watched him in Network on Netflix last night and he should have got a medal for snogging that bag of bones Faye Dunaway
