Fenham Mag Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Do American sports teams generally make a decent profit? Chicago Bulls make a profit of near $55 million dollars on average in a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm always amazing by the relatively low value of most English clubs when pretty much any American sports team would cost much more than clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham. Good for you, want a "most expensive sports teams" badge or something? This doesn't really work because I like football far more than American sports. The point being, I would expect football teams to be worth more because their global reach far outstretches a lot of American teams. Doesn't hurt that the U.S. has more money than most everyone else, global outreach or not. Plenty of Americans willing to spend buckets of money on NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 An interesting take on club values, one that will please you, I think. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2013/03/25/from-man-utd-at-1bn-to-wigan-at-42m-whats-your-club-really-worth-250102/ Seems to be a plausible approximation.

If the UK had as many people as the U.S., I think the PL would blow the NFL out of the water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 And it's a pretty fucking damning indictement of how utterly shite we are, and how far we have fallen. And at this rate we'll be lucky to get to Brazil. And the inches forward football has made in the past decade will be swept away if that happens...

Raconteur Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 No, but we went 32 years between World Cups and then made two in a row. We had our own "Golden Generation" (who accomplished nought but Asian Cup runners-up!), but now they've all fallen off the perch we've got nothing behind them, and that's really fucking disheartening!!! Losing to Oman! That's like England losing to San Marino at Wembley. Okay, more like losing to Georgia than San Marino, but still a kick in the pants!
