The Stadium itself was book valued at £38m iirc at the point that MM "bought" it. It's undoubtedly worth more than that, even in the opinion of the EFL's crackpot valuer.

No point in getting the money together to buy a car and then have no money left to put petrol in. Although, if it's a very special special classic car which competed in the earliest motorsport events and is loved by tens of thousands of people and you're saving it from going to Albert Looms, it probably is.

In which case it's a really smart move - not having to rely on "profit" to sign players to get the club back on its feet. Any accountants out there know if this is a "thing"?

CornwallRam Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's hard to believe that there is a better bid out there for a League 1 club with no players and a potentially punitive business plan than £50m. Especially when the man making the bid for the good ship DCFC is a former captain who managed not to sail her onto a reef. This must surely be the end game. Anyone else interested must make a bid today, and it will need to be impressive if Natalie Jackson is correct. Then, if no one out-bids, Appleby gets a few days to either close the deal or get sufficient funding in place to enter the league for next season. If he can't, we're done. Yet I can't see that he'd bid if he couldn't complete. The big danger is a high bid from another tyre kicker/fantasist. No more fake Sheikhs, Spanish boxers or crypto golf buddies need apply.

It's undoubtedly worth more than that, even in the opinion of the EFL's crackpot valuer. Very true, the stadium certainly has a higher value “on paper”, so to speak. But I think what’s becomes clear throughout this process is that a football ground is a bit different to most other assets. There’s only one business that can make use of the ground - the football club. So the only possible purchaser of the ground is either the football club itself, or someone on its behalf. That lack of competition to buy the asset, coupled with the fact that MM has to sell as he no longer owns a football club to play there, drives the purchase value way below its “paper” value.

Does that mean if a new bidder comes in they can ask how much they have to bid to be 'best'? @G STAR RAM? No idea. And doubt Quantuma have any idea either.

Must admit I still don’t really understand the ins and outs of the EFLs seemingly “make it up as you go along” FFP system, but that sounds like something that will surely be against the rules. Regardless, I can’t see any buyer giving Rooney a £10m transfer budget in League One. It’ll be a few million max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look why cant be worth over 50m and few more million might be enough to wipe out the debts if is mike ashley he has said make more money available for players.
