I guess the 'value' comes from ownership of the franchise. I'm sure I read that it costs half a billion to set up a new club in the MLS (not all of that being the franchise fee, obvs, but a fair chunk of it).

I take this kind of stuff with a huge dollop of salt.  Looking at the way NBA teams seem to sell for way more than expected value, a sports club's worth is whatever a buying party is prepared to pay.

Imagine Leicester fell about 60 places at around half six on Sunday

It’s complete bollocks when you look at the revenue then valuation of MLS clubs.

Palace? Ffs, their ground is being propped up by breezeblocks and the size of Willy Zaha's ego.

NWSE investment is looking pretty shrewd at the moment to be fair

Trust me, this will be a disaster.

Trust me, this will be an enormous success.

I can not decide who to believe from you two🤔

Well played. You know have 2 legitimate quotes to fall back on when it’s a roaring success or flaming disaster!

Quite interesting to go back to the beginning of this thread

It's not catching up with the big 4/5 that we need to be focused on, it's absolutely pathetic we're below the likes of West Ham and Newcastle.

Along with Newcastle, we're the only teams in the top 20 without European football in the last year, and Newcastle are now "The World's Richest Club" and in the Champions League this coming season, so it's not a surprise to see them in there.

The fact we're as high as we are, given it's only the last 6 months we've started to do something on the pitch, is a testament to the potential we have.  A couple of years competing at the top end, and in Europe, and we'll be at least 10 places higher and troubling the current top 10 on the pitch.

Hmmmm.

A few eyebrow-raisers of late.

BK8
Expansion 'on hold'
"yeah but yeah but no but' on the new badge.

Not looking too joined-up in some of this stuff.

And one free transfer in so far.

I get the feeling that we're doing a full review of everything now that we're getting serious, serious operators in.

And a bloody good one at that, points in the right direction if you ask me.
