The extra £1.75bn was part of the beauty parade in front of civil servants, fan groups, RA’s representatives etc that the Boehly group were ‘good guys’ and not in it for a quick buck. That’s why they gave a commitment not to join the SuperLeague when it arises in its next concoction (I’ve seen...

They weren’t sold for £4.25bn, they were sold for £2.5bn plus a commitment to spend £1.75bn on players and infrastructure over the next decade.

The £3bn asking price is above everyone's valuation that I have spoken to this week too! If they get that price for the club it will make Locadia and Jahanbaksh look like bargains.

Nearly all owners in the Championship and below are open to offers is my understanding unless they are owned by rich fans. In the Premier League perhaps a few less, but if the price is right most owners will consider offers. Derby, Charlton and Leeds are definitely being hawked around.

I used a tweaked version of the MMM model to generate the values. It's a start point and based on the 2017/18 accounts and the drivers therein. In that season Burnley made a profit of £45 million on revenue of £135 million, which is impressive, zero debt and finished 7th in the Premier League...

Agree totally. 2018/19 will be good due to Europa Cup but I suspect 19/20 will knock them down to well below £300m

Having looked at the numbers in a bit more detail, the main reason for the fall in Palace's value is their wage/income ratio has increased from 51% to 78%. UEFA's view that any club that has a wage control ratio exceeding 70% is a cause for concern.

On the back of paying Zaha, Sako, Benteke and Meyer over £100,000 a week, they probably are.

They wouldn't, it's an anomaly of the model (which has quite a few imperfections but was 99.9% accurate for the Arsenal takeover the previous year). It does show that Burnley are extremely well run, their owners haven't put in a dime since buying the club many years ago.

It's the question I am asked most frequently in respect of the research. In 2017/18 Burnley finished 7th in the Premier League and qualified for the Europa League, their wage bill however was the third lowest in the division and so they made a lot of money that year, which boosted the valuation...

https://www.cityam.com/crystal-palace-hawked-for-sale-in-210m-deal/ Having been sent the Newcastle sales brochure last week, which looks as if it had been put together by a bunch of teenagers sniffing glue, the people putting it together were banking on European football within five years on an...
