Player Valuation: £35m
ive just read this interesting article on keioc site
quote.................. "Everton has made no secret of the fact that they use their asset base to help finance their business. Selling fixed assets, particularly intangibles [players], has proved to be a useful source of additional income which they have exploited to their advantage; but clearly it’s a finite resource and a more sustainable method of financing their footballing activities needs to be secured. Hence the plan for a new stadium and the statement that we are following a facility and fanbase business model; but there would appear to be genuine doubt that a stadium in Kirkby, even at the optimistically projected 94% occupancy, would be able to generate anything like the returns enjoyed by our rivals in the premiership. Until this problem is addressed Evertonians should resign themselves to the fact that current players and up and coming stars will continue to be sold to finance the clubs financial shortcomings."
my question is ... to keep finances and playing staff ticking over , is selling our better players our only 'viable' option under bk and the current board ?
(btw finch farm is not 'our' assett , it was not payed for by us , we got a loan from a company to build it (new blue holdings ?), then sold it back to them and rent it- to my knowledge)
