He's sound. Not got much time for doom mongerer The Esk though - would give an aspirin a headache.

I did when they first came out but they just said the F word every 3rd or 4th word and couldn’t be bothered listening to it after that

Were we ?
Nope.
We never. Our net spent this last window was -£36m. We don't have a pot to pee in because Moshiri has lost access to his (Usmanov's) money. Other than selling players we make no income at all. Thanks Denise.

It's a very sobering listen I don't mind The Esk the business podcast with Roger Armstrong really predicted this scenario the business hasn't grown to any extent, so we have been solely reliant on moshiri to bail us out .
Because it probably wasn't actually true and had no chance of ever happening
I gave it a few minutes , couldn’ t take any more negativity. These things don’t age well , things like selling Simms and others for too little have been well discussed , it just becomes yet another opinion hardly cutting edge , so what , it’s weeks later , move on 
Not sure I believe things are quite as bad as that. Presumably it would be widely reported in the media if so. Things clearly aren’t good but presumably the tightening of the purse strings is to do with improving the balance sheet due to FFP and/or investment or sale. Obviously the pot of cash that Usmanov had is no longer available to us so we’re basically covering our costs and no more one imagines.
But if we’re selling Iwobi just to pay the leccy bill I’d imagine the administrators would already be coming in.
Combined revenue (TV/Tickets/Commercial deals) is about 180m a year. Our monthly costs are about 15m. Yeah they've come down, but our borrowing (and therefore interest) has shot up.
We're not selling due to FFP, we're selling to pay bills and build a stadium. Neither come cheaply.
Danjuma - loan
Young - bosman
Harrison - loan
Chermitti - staggered payments. (just over 3m paid so far)
Beto - NO payment until next year and that's also staggered.
All the money in since Usmanov lost his ATM card has gone on running costs and stadium.
It's the reality we're in. To believe otherwise, well.....i can't help you.
A bit of a grim listen tbh, some home truths in there. Worth a listen though
