Adams has been coaching in Azerbaijan for the past few years, its a tenuous link but an Azerbaijani businessman recently took over Sheffield Wednesday and , as a Country, they spend millions in Football sponsorship, Worldwide.
So it wouldn´t be too much of a stretch to suggest that some Azeri Oil money might be involved here........just a thought......Godzvilla!.
p.s....Check out his Azeri dancing

I came to the story from the Smith angle, where it suggested Adams was some kind of front man

I don't really get what his role would be and I can't believe he would add anything useful. So not sure if to be concerned, take the whole thing w a pinch of salt, or if the Adams role would be pretty unimportant but it's otherwise got legs in it

Oh Jesus f**k make it stop. Just when I was starting to enjoy watching Villa again Tony fucking Adams appears from behind a curtain like a coke-addled Wizard of Shit.

The SSN reports are changing tack slightly to be more about Smith than Adams. What do we know about this Mr Smith guy...is it going to end up with a Mr & Mrs shoot out with Angelina Jolie?

Smith was sacked by Chelsea back in 2007.

In recent months when I have been critical of Randy Lerner, I have been assured by those whose opinions I value that he is a good guy and would never see Villa fall into the hands of chancers, carpet baggers or asset strippers.   I think we are about to find out if that is true.

If Paul Smith takes over in the next few weeks we might get decent Cup Final suits for the players.

Pretty sure he admitted being a Tory as well so for that reason, and all the others, I'm out.

I think it's odds-on that whoever takes over will be a Tory.

I don't see it at all. Although he has a good reputation in the game, he has no real money of his own.
Who would invest? Why do it through him?

We've already proved to be a money pit for one businessman.

Bollocks I reckon.

I thought Fox stated categorically in the Guardian last week that the club was not for sale and he would know if it was.

Maybe I read the wrong narrative.

Perhaps passport that meant it was not for sale because it was already sold.

Why when the feel-good factor has returned are we getting all this shite from Roy Keane and Tony Adams?

I'll be more than happy to see neither of them at Villa Park, ever, thanks.

...unless Keane is on the ITV panel for one of our Champions League games of course.

I hope this story about Donkey has been leaked to get another better possible owner to pull their fingers out and put in a bid for the Villa.
