And he's not wanted at my football club. He should feck off and buy Dinamo Kiev if he's that keen! Of the two, I would believe Craig Murray. He, after all, has the proof to back up his allegations. All Usmanov has are his lawyers. He’s a crook, and enemy of free speach. And he’s not wanted at my football club. He should feck off and buy Dinamo Kiev if he’s that keen!

He is doing right things against Craig Murray, C. Murray has been sacked from his Ambassador position to Uzbekistan by Mr Tony Blair and now Mr Murray is blaming anything related to Uzbekistan.

"Business is murky in Uzbekistan, and that in itself is an argument against him being involved in Arsenal. I wouldn't want him to be the owner of the club."</blockquote> Think that about sums up my feelings about the guy, rightly or wrongly. Also looks like Usmanov's legal beagles are being kept on the leash, so no biting Craig Murray at the moment: <blockquote>Laura Tyler, of Schillings, said they did not intend to sue Murray directly because they did not want to give him a platform to express his views. Murray says he stands by the allegations, although he has no documentary evidence. "I was the ambassador in Uzbekistan. Usmanov is the country's most prominent businessman and it was my job to know about him."</blockquote> This one is going to run for quite a while, I suspect.
