“It would not be the biggest shock in the world, looking from outside, if Watkins should go.
“Villa could say that we will take 60 million pounds sterling, but they find themselves, these offers are concluded in such a complicated way now that the way you structure the agreement can bypass the problem.”
The release of Watkins will hurt
