Yeah I’m not grotesquely stupid, every business in the world has limits on spending, NUFC are no different. However, the notion that it’s as well defined as 60-80m plus incoming from sales is naive at best. They’ve been fed that line multiple times before and they go for it every time.


Of course it’ll be defined, man. Will it be advertised to journalists? No, but how can you successfully navigate a transfer window when you don’t know your budget?

"Forbes relays Newcastle is the biggest gainer in this year's most-valuable club list: now worth $794 million, 51% more than last year."

Such a good investment for the PIF. let’s see how much Manchester United go for. Or remember they committed about 5b for Chelsea :lol:

So about £640m - not a bad return (so far) on a £350m investment, even factoring in a £70m loss in the first full accounting year.

Does that make Ashley a fucking fool then?

It makes him a Man with absolutely zero vision.  But he got what he wanted which was free advertising for his shitty store.

A half decent performance in Europe and a solid domestic campaign and I don't see why not, assuming we add some assets in the summer/January. 

 

West Ham are just over $1bn - do they own their stadium or do they just lease it?

They rent it for varnigh fuck all but are rumoured to be favourable to buying it outright. Whole things been, yet another, tory debacle

How are Palace worth £806m!? That seems inordinately high. 

I was surprised by that as well. It's usually a gang of West Ham, Everton, Aston Villa and Leicester (for Leicester it's obvious why not now) below the top 6.

It's amazing how enduring the value of Man Utd has been considering they haven't been good for ages now. 

 

Guess the commercial presence is immense. 

 

And Los Angeles has two football clubs worth a billion?!

I saw a quote somewhere about them having 1bn fans globally, although they only turnover £500m or so per year so only 50p per fan per year. Make that £1 per fan per year and they're turning over £1bn/year.

 

I'm not sure it's quite that simple but it was being used to explain the valuation given and the potential for growth even for a massive club like Man Utd.

1bn fans? I know they have a lot but I very much doubt they have that many

 

No chance one eighth of the world is a fan of theirs 

Well the study that put the number at 1bn used the term "followers" which isn't actually the same as a "fan" but that's the figure quoted.
