Fair point WV but discussions ,if they have been held ,have been leaked to the press and I thought there has been time enough for Villa to issue a press statement denying or confirming talks.
To be honest why would anybody with sufficient money to buy a Premier League club want to have him as the front man?

The recent interview with Fox seemed to strangely suggest nothing was imminent. I just hope this latest rumour is bollocks I really do.
Sky News has learnt that Mr Adams has been working with Paul Smith, a former executive at Chelsea FC and IMG, the sports rights agency, on a possible bid.
Neither Mr Adams nor Mr Smith could be reached for comment, while BAML declined to comment.
Above all else I am shocked at the timing of this announcement- I would have thought Lerner would insist on rigid NDA's given the potential effect on Sherwood and subsequently the team. I cannot see any advantage in releasing it now, what value or gain comes from it?

Not sure I'm particularly keen on the idea of the Chinese taking over either to be honest.
If this is a runner I will be interested to see how much of a role Adams really has to play. The press have latched on to it as he is the only one with any public profile but are the people putting up all that money really going to trust him with any real responsibility?
