The binman chronicles
Player Valuation: £80m
The Esk is offering his views on Usmanov selling his shares on the blue room overnight. Upshot is he remains sceptical that Usmanov is coming. Main reason being the funding model proposed with council has penalty clauses in the event we look to repay earlier. Other blue room host is more open minded. Funding deal is still very much undecided. So one no and one maybe, watch and see.
For a very smart bloke he seems to miss some large bits of evidence when saying stuff. They both said when at Arsenal that the stadium should not have been funded in the way it was and could have been repaid over a longer period of time without crippling the club in the transfer market (One could say the same about spurs now too by the seem of it).
