et tu brute Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I understand why not sacking Bruce adds to the 'no takeover' narrative but I still think it can be spun as "I'm about to leave (post-arbitration) so I don't give a s*** about relegation or Bruce". Whilst I lose half the value of the club by doing so. Sorry not buying that spin. We don't know if agreements have been signed, promises made etc So are you trying to say PIF are willing to pay the 350 million if relegation occurs or that Ashley is ok with losing half the value of the club. Neither make any sense at all whichever way you look at it. Sorry again not buying that either. No, PIF won't pay 350m if relegated No, Ashley likely won't accept half - out of interest, where do you get this revised cost if relegated? Most financial experts are saying the cost of the club will be valued at least 100 million less. Please tell me one championship club which has been sold for anywhere near 175 million ever, never mind recent times with the current pandemic. This is a club who doesn't even own it's own ground either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bottom 4 clubs have ever been sold for 350m? Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. PIF may well be willing to over pay to get their first choice club. I obviously don't have a clue and have no idea what will happen, but I'm not making grandiose statements like I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I know it was a while ago but Ashley is asking for more than Liverpool cost Fenway Sports Group. We're overpriced and that's why we've not been sold yet imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're overpriced and that's why we've not been sold yet imo. 2016 - Moshiri purchased 49% of Everton for £87.5m (valuing them at £175m) 2013 - Liverpool were purchased for £300m. In the Championship in 2016, Wolves were purchased for a paltry £45m. We’re ridiculously overpriced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already been said that they will still be interested but would result in either a lower or structured fee. As they see it, Man City’s valuation is now £2bn. If they bought us for £300m, put in another £300m in transfer funds and infrastructure improvements and then spend our earnings with the help of better commercial deals, then we could easily hit and exceed that valuation in future.

It will only take new owners I reckon 1 year to transform our commercial and matchday income considering we are at the same level as in 2008 - both should be treble of what they are now (at least) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, Ashley has minimised any and all commercial outlets since he arrived all for the benefit of his tat emporium, wouldn't take a business guru to grow that immediately. Man, imagine a club that actively strives to maximise all revenue streams and invests them solely in the vessel used to attract that additional revenue. So much untapped potential here, get the fans back onside and smash the glass ceiling, I wouldn't care where we were so long as we were maximising our potential to be there.

I'm guessing PIF are now waiting to see if we can get promotion in the next 5 years before making a decision. Have no fear, good times are imminent* * In the next 6 years, maybe.
