Player Valuation: £70m
Ever stopped to wonder why it costs so much to build stadia in the UK? Wembley stadium £800m!!! You could build a new town for that, never mind a concrete bowl. And this £300m figure often quoted for a new Everton ground, again, why so much? Wasn't Sunderlands ground built for less than £100m? And haven't Rotherham or someone just built a 20,000+ new ground for a total cost of £25m. Now I know we're not comparing like with like with this example, but seriously £300m! Employing 1000 workers for a full year on average wage of £1000 a week would only give a wage bill of £50m. Even doubling that takes us to only £100m...........so £200m on materials etc!........really??? Or is it typically a case of £100m on materials and the other £100m left as profit for everyone from suppliers to designers who got their finger in the pie.
Well there's German companies which do ready made houses, seen it on Grand Designs. Reckon they'd do a stadium for about 10 million if you asked them. They'd set it up in a week. Dead efficient Germans.
