The Athletic - Valuation of Everton Football Club

[malfosse]

It's a football team, who cares how much they're worth. Apart from City, Chelsea, Utd and the rs everyone else is pretty much, much of a muchness.

Interestong - but this is stats based on branding (we've been weak at that for eons admittedly) and subsequent subscriptions from around the world. Might be skewed by being the sort of people who like the colour of a kit or the location (London - only town in the UK when viewed from the US, other than its suburb Manchester). Also more affluent London ers are more likely to have more spare cash to throw money at club subscriptions. Doesn't necessarily relate to size of fan base.

Its now just junk like the rest. Generic waffle

Nonsense
Anything is worth what someone will pay for it and I promise you nobody will ever pay more for Brighton than Everton - even if they have recently turned good profits by buying and selling smartly (I can only assume that’s where they’ve got their overinflated number from)

Then look at West Ham. Traditionally a yo yo club. Negative
Waste loads of money and find themselves wrong end of the table. Negative
Don’t own a ground. Negative
Have an aging poorly performing squad. Negative

But erm they’re in London so put them in seventh

One could say Everton is valued low bc if it falls out of the PL it becomes another yoyoing WH or Villa.
Everton holds firm but the market says for how long.

Or one could say more is at play and by chance or in spirit of, the ground carries a voice that no other PL team can match. The sound intensity to go with the voice.
By the effing Mersey no less.

Will Everton win the title that cements itself along different path to the other English Europeans (money)
(In play, West Ham gets value recognition here.)

With the extra dimensional player in voice-ground, Everton win titles. The knowing of good play, best competition, in voice. Its hard to beat.
The team's got to get a sniff first.

And nothing else is good enough, as the saying may go. Its not just a case of tradition meeting experience in now/then They are both carried with.

Everton stand on different ground to the others. While resolve recently tested shines light.

The markets blind.

No, that's the amount of people who follow the clubs on social media not subscriptions.

Leicester have 10 million more followers more than us and they are not in London.

Let's see again in a few seasons then.

The stadium alone is worth over £800 million. Ridiculous “valuation”

Hopefully we can start being successful again.

I'm always puzzled by stadium valuations. If we tried to sell it as a standalone who would actually want to buy it?

I subscribed at the start to check it out…dropped it at the first opportunity. Sanitised regurgitation of already available insights does not justify a sub. Proof that I’m happy with that call is the reality that I can’t remember the last time I bothered to use a paywall ladder to read one of their articles…

You’ll learn more about the club on here than from Boyland and co. He’s a master of the soft press conference question, mind…

Someone said earlier in the thread it’s based off the 23/24 seasons. I understand the financial reporting lag which would help it report but 1) why report on this at all and 2) if you have to report it, the timing is off (particularly in our cases with the new stadium)

I would imagine when they report this again in future (as useless as the information is) we would be close to or above billion mark with the addition of the stadium value to t(e balance sheet and the increased revenue (and costs) to the P&L.

But ultimately reporting this piece of information is pretty pointless imo.

It's not puzzling, just as you state...it is inherently worth less than it cost, if you were to sell it.

It's value comes from the cash flow it generates (which is the value of any asset of a going concern). That's still a bit of a question, as it states in the article.

This looks more like a chart of favorable VAR decisions. My bad. It's just some meaningless BS. Moving on.

Bit surprised by the Villa one tbh. Championship club until fairly recent, not won anything, not obvious connection to a city (for foreign followers) so must be domestic for the most part (if those numbers can be believed).

So they shouldn't report this because we happened to get a new owner? Has it occured that they have other readers besides Evertonians?
