How expensive is a Premier League club? Here’s how.
To say that the top clubs are really valuable. This does not just look at the Top 6 or Top 4 in a season, but also looks at the leagues in recent seasons, European war results, brand promotion, debt and other comprehensive factors.
For example: Chelsea, which has been under the ownership of tycoon Abramovich, has won the league championship under the second-term management of madman Mourinho. Now a few years later, Chelsea can be regarded as a famous club in the Premier League, with a sales price of 3 billion pounds.

According to the news from Zhaoshi Group, I heard that Abu is interested in selling it recently. Whose dog is Daiying and the attributes of the stirrup are known to people all over the world, and they are looking for trouble with this furry bear.
Another example: Manchester United was in turmoil after Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Now they have hired a famous coach, Mourinho, the top player in football. Their results in the 2018-2019 season are higher than last year's second place, and the gap between the three cup titles is a bit larger.
But the price is still very high: about 2.9 billion pounds.
In 2005, the wealthy Glazer family of the United States purchased it for US$147 million. If it were sold, there would probably be a premium due to the Manchester United brand. The return on this investment would be astonishing.
The same investment was made by Liverpool.
Fenway Group bought Liverpool FC in 2010 at a cost of approximately 300 million pounds. By the end of February 2019, Liverpool, under the leadership of head coach Klopp, was competing with Manchester City in the Premier League and was very strong.
Today, the price of Liverpool is estimated to be as high as 5 billion pounds. It is quite expensive!
It can be seen that the cultural and sports industry is actually quite profitable. It can even compete with the speed of global inflation! But it is still difficult to make money on other people's territory and within the rules of the game!
The ones who can really make money from playing are America's cultural and sports companies and the tycoons. The rest of the people just invest money and listen to the sound.
However, football is the number one sport in the world! The bosses can’t resist their enthusiasm! Moreover, the influence outside the team management and helping the business is another level of things. In short, no one does business that is losing money.
…
The above are the sales prices and valuations of the top clubs in the Premier League. They are quite expensive. However, small and medium-sized clubs are not that valuable.
In 2016, Fosun's boss Guo purchased Wolves for 45 million pounds. At that time, Wolves would be a British Championship team.
The English Championship is not the Chinese Championship. The English Championship is the second level league, and promoted teams directly enter the Premier League. The Chinese Championship is the name of the domestic amateur football league!
The Wolves were promoted to the Premier League in 2017. Their results in the past two seasons were pretty good and they were known as the "rich killers". Their best result was ranked 6th in the Premier League.
The current valuation is 200 million pounds. The price has probably increased nearly five times.
In August 2016, a Chinese-funded enterprise purchased 88% of West Brom's shares for 175 million pounds, becoming the first Premier League team controlled by Chinese capital.
This kind of small team is not well-known. However, West Brom signed Zhang Yuning, the main forward of the current national football team. Of course, due to the labor certificate regulations of the Premier League, he was unable to play in the game and was sent to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga to train. How could he go to Bremen?
He also didn't get a chance to play. After returning to China, Zhang Yuning gradually became Guoan's main forward.
Therefore, there is an obvious gap between the level of domestic football competition and that in Europe.
This is what the martial arts king himself said: No one looks down on him when he is on the bench. But when he joins the national team, he makes a killing.
…
The situation is similar in the international market. The selling price of the team is not high. Not to mention the competitive level of the Premier League, but the famous brand operation is indeed one of the best. It is normal for the selling prices of the major clubs to be high.
In 2016, Suning spent US$265 million to buy Serie A giant Inter Milan, taking 68.5% of its shares. Of course, Suning had to bear Inter Milan's hundreds of millions of euros of debt.
In the autumn of 2016, Idaka bought the Leeds United club, which was still in the League One and known as the "Young Guards" at the time, for only 7.8 million pounds. At the time, he bought it in the name of Akoshi Group, which was not yet listed.
When he was studying, Leeds United was causing a youth storm in the Premier League, and the Los Blancos still had many fans.
Of course, when he buys a club in England, he will not just look at the reputation, but the size and geography of the city, which is the club's development potential.
Anyone who has played Football Manager knows that the city is too small to even build a stadium. The home stadium of a powerful European team can only accommodate 8,000 people. This is very uncomfortable! The management of a football club is very difficult.
A large area should be developed around the stadium.
At the end of the year in Jinling, Jing Gao met Suning's boss Zhang and asked about the situation of Inter Milan.
Inter Milan still shares a stadium with AC Milan, and Suning has repeatedly tried to renovate or build a new stadium but has not been able to do so. This puts a lot of pressure on Suning's finances.
Leeds is the third largest city in the UK, after London and Birmingham. This is the potential for the development of football clubs.
Buying a team is one price, but building and operating the team is another price. Jinggao originally planned to run the team well, but if he hadn't disliked managing the team for too long, he would have wanted to play a real-life football manager game.
Shenhao buys football stars, and it feels so good just thinking about it!
However, reality is not a game, and you cannot press the space bar to progress. He spent a lot of time on Leeds United Club at the beginning. But reality is not a game after all. Various business affairs are very trivial. He has no time for Leeds United Club.

With Idaka's investment regardless of cost in recent years, Leeds United was promoted to the English Championship that season, and then promoted to the Premier League in the autumn of 2018. It is currently a second-year player in the Premier League.
At the end of February 2019, just one month after the winter devil schedule, Leeds United is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League. This is because there is no investment in the winter transfer window and the performance has declined.
The general market valuation is around £800 million.
Of course, the market valuation is a valuation, and it will definitely not be this price when the transaction is actually completed.
In other words, Qin Ziheng's valuation of Leeds United is 500 million pounds, which is a bit low. But the entire circle there knows that Jing Gao wants to sell Leeds United, and the price will definitely not go up. It is normal that the offer is not high.
Jing Gao took a sip of tea, savoring the aroma of the tea. The afternoon sun was warm and even a little hot.
"Mr. Chen, acquiring 60% of the shares is not a good idea! As long as I am still a shareholder of Leeds United, it will be easy to be targeted. Some people in the UK do things very dirty. But some people in China believe in procedural justice and lick all kinds of things.
I want to sell the whole thing and keep not a single share." Lan.
Chen Hanqing was a little hesitant, "This..." He smiled bitterly and said the reason, "Mr. Jing, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we may not have enough money."
The difference between 3 and 5 is only 2. But if the difference is 200 million pounds, it is really a very big gap. They, the businessmen, can't come up with it.
They formed a group with Qin Ziheng to go shopping and buy the Leeds United Club. Qin Ziheng took the lead. They wanted to take advantage of the low price, and why was Mr. Jing willing to let them take advantage of this? Qin Ziheng said that he could "convince" Mr. Jing.
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Then go into the room and talk alone. Call Mr. Qin."
