This blog entry, looking at things from a financial perspective, speculates as to whether, Barclay's Bank would continue with an agreement for naming rights for the arena in the proposed Atlantic Yards project. Financial problems could result in the bank becoming nationalized. The entry concludes:
I don't have much of an insight into the mind of Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and now, presumably, the Grand Vizier of All UK Banks. I mean I've tried to stare into his mind and the colour difference between his hair and eyebrows has freaked me out. We'll have to wait for Barclays to fall into the welcoming arms of the government to see how it will play out, but if I were Mister Ratner I'd try and get the funding agreement active before my compatriots start asking awkward questions.
