Depends on location and the structure itself. Look at Highbury and it's listed building shell.

Highbury is unique, I can't think of another comparable in terms of redevelopment

I don't think it is a great thing at all, you misunderstand my point.

The asking price for the equity is too high regardless of the buyer's ability to fund it and the development capital required over and above the purchase price for a new stadium and squad improvements.

If I priced my house at twice the market value (for example) I could search 24/7 for a buyer but I'll never find one.

Whilst you're completely right with your analogy, I think another factor that would put potential buyers off is the uncertainty as to what the new stadium costs will actually be. If the current incumbents actually get to the point of having costed plans with approval in place, then it'll be a much more attractive proposition.

Totally agree

Stamford Bridge? WHL?

Hi mate,

Please explain how the club is worth £200 million.

We've a negative balance sheet, require huge capital investment in a stadium and on the pitch, and prior to the latest TV deal we've run at an operating loss.

As a shareholder I'd be delighted to accept £5,700 a share, but I don't see anyone in their right mind offering that sort of money.

Because none of that matters.

youTube never made a profit and required huge investment just to keep going but was sold for billions.

The reason why football clubs are so valuable is their potential if the money is put in. You can't simply start a new club and build it up to be the size of Everton without spending far more than 200m. Even if we stand still the overall money in football will continue to raise the price of the club.

200m is about right. Frankly I would value it higher and if someone can't meet that valuation I wouldn't trust him with the club's future.

OK Bill....

Own their own stadium and training facility.


And like i said, there actually for sale, we are not

Our training facility is worth less than a few of our 21 year old players. Big deal.

 

[kithnou]

OK Bill....

 

[marty mcfly]

OK Bill....

I want us to be bought too but unless someone actually comes forward and says who they are and what their plans for the club and that Bill is standing in their way I have no reason not to believe him.

That's all it would take. The fact it hasn't happened tells me that anyone who has been interested wouldn't get the support of the fans and knows it.

We dont own our training facility, we rent it

 

[marty mcfly]

I know. My point was that it's irrelevant when looking at our finances. The costs in football are the players both wages and fees.

Everything else is peanuts in comparison.

Its an asset. They contribute to the value of a club. Everton dont have any off field

OOC takes away roughly 25m a season, interest payments another 4m.

Are you now suggesting that 29m is peanuts?

 

[marty mcfly]

OOC is not the rent on finch farm. Jesus. You must think people are stupid.
