Aston Villa linked to £150m take-over bid
Aston Villa are reportedly subject of a £150million take-over bid from investors led by former Chelsea business director Paul Smith.
It's understood that ex-Arsenal player Tony Adams would be brought in to work on football matters, should the takeover be successful.
Smith is known to current Villa owner Randy Lerner, who put the club up for sale last May.
Lerner was at Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground today and spoke to manager Tim Sherwood, who claims he has heard nothing about any possible takeover deal.
Sherwood said: "I haven't heard anything. I'm working for the football club not the individuals who are here.
"It's one of the biggest football clubs in English football. I'm happy to be here and proud to be the manager.
"I had a chat with him (Lerner) today – he's as worried as I am about the situation because we're still not safe, but I've heard nothing about (about any developments)."
