Player Valuation: £80m
Well it looks like Everton didn't bury "their head in the sand" as they told the PL about the deal before it was done. It goes on to say that even though these deals are "rare" in football, they are quite common in commercial ventures.
So maybe Everton have seen an opportunity to be creative and innovative for a change.
And maybe you just don't want to see Everton climb up the ladder.
Just a note for the rags and dregs.
The money as declared at the AGM is ring fenced for stadium development, therefore it's for infrascrture, therefore it's not included in FFP.
It's a complete non story. If USM (who ever at USM authorises it isn't even an issue as Moshiri is part owner anyway) or anyone want to give us a ton of money up front for infrascture development then as long as that sum of money is used for such a case at some point in the future it's not a problem at all.
No where have Everton even declared that they money came from Usmanov himself (though clearly it has but shhh), it's come from USM... a company. Not a person.
