And we wouldn't play in brown shirts..

Yeah, and the red in swastika badge was completely unacceptable.

 

[Bluewolf]

Also.. does £65million seem a bit cheap given Chelsea sold their women’s team for £200m? … surely the Everton ladies also have Goodison park to include?

Sell the club for £65m.

Then sell the club goodison park for £200m

You're being picky now...

Separate entity, the way the rules seem to work, we could retain that and rent it to them for £#m per year, or sell that to the new woman’s team entity as a separate transaction.
Renting it to them would seem most sensible through as its perpetual income.

Remember going to the Oval for the cricket moons ago, England v India - there was one fellow there with a swastika neck tattoo.

He was of course with the away supporters…

Only amortised over max 5 years for PSR, so if they still doing 8 year deals there must be another reason (?)

My guess would be they're looking to 'make' money in the loan market. They can effectively loan some players out for 3/4/5 years and still have them tied down to a lenghty contract.

It needs to stop though, this stockpiling of players.

but wasnt Goodison valied at like £50m in the plans for regen or something? I seem to remember it was around that they would sell the land etc for. If thats correct, it values the womens team at £15m, which imo is too low...

Happy to be proven wrong but I would be amazed if fair market value for Goodison is anywhere near £50m. Hemmed in by loads of residential property with very little opportunity to develop around it. Then you factor in the cost of demolishing it and then redeveloping. It’s not that close to the centre of town and transport links are poor.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s worth £10m or less. Obviously we can be creative with the accounting but not sure we can make up that difference.

£65m might be a sensible number for the women’s team and Goodison but £50m of that is not coming from Goodison alone.

Agree Chelsea sold theirs for £200m, without a seperate ground of their own to play in... £65m is definitely too cheap.

They own Kingstonians/AFC Wimbledons old ground as their main one for the woman. Don't know if that was included?

Luckily £200m isn’t fair market value for Chelsea Women either so good times.

Wikipedia says the redevelopment project was £82m

Goodison Park - Wikipedia

So not sure what the land etc would be valued at

The value of the land is of course not 50 millions, the same way the Chelsea team is nowhere near worth 200 millions. You have to think about potential, imagine if you’re able to fill Goodison with 30000 people watching woman’s football becoming as profitable as mens football. That stadium alone will generate some serious revenue for the club. This is how Chelsea placed a value on their womens team which may or may not happen, but it’s all about potential future value. Having the stadium on top is a game changer for us, and using the same thinking than Chelsea I wouldn’t be surprised of at least a 200 millions pounds valuation with the stadium

 

[MACCA75]

Sell the women’s team and then get them to rent Goodison for a decent amount per season would be a good bet.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

I'm really taking to the Friedkin's...they are doing things the correct way.

I mean, what an incredible stadium they’ve just built too…
