Pretty obvious really, hardly going to admit tampering with a manager under contract at the time.

Exactly. Last thing they want is getting done for tapping him up.

But he was out of contract, just like a player reaching the end of their contract, Villa and Hughes had the right to talk to each other. It's a hell of a longshot, but if Villa aren't interested, where else will he go? Can't see Chelsea appointing him, only one possilble destination ;)

He was only out of contract when the contract ended. cCouldn't talkto anybody prior to that. Would be awfully convenient if Hughes broke off contract talks, Villa confirmed interest, he then went there...

Hold on. I don't get it, I thought Hughes has resigned therefore ending all ties with Fulham ?

Yup. Hence the "resignation", strong indication wouldn't sign a new deal with Fulham. Meaning Fulham either keep a lame duck manager till then or allow a contract termination.... all of course just a co-incidence it happens the day afte Houllier leaves Villa.
