Ownership bids (Please No Politics)

Our squad is worth 800m right now, we are the most recent CL winners and we're a top 4 team so all that puts the price up and the PL is a rich league with good sponsorship deals.

Not sure if all possible things added up make that 3 billion, I'm guessing not, but all of the other teams on the list were bought much before the prices went up in football. That being said, the Newcastle new owners didn't spend close to 1billion in order to buy that club, now we can argue that their squad is much lower in value but the difference in price is still huge.

That list is well out of date.

As you say Newcastle cost significantly more than FSG paid to buy Liverpool , Burnley was sold for more than RA paid for Chelsea.

Then you have the likes of City who sold 13% for circa £265 million some years ago and also Usmanov sold his 30% shares in Arsenal for £600 million.

I personally doubt that RA will get close to £3 billion my view is it will at most be £2 billion with some sort of of commitment to making investments be they in the playing squad and or stadium move or improvements.

Having said that I wonder if it will be Fordsham that is sold or the stand alone company that is Chelsea FC.

Why does that matter? Well there is property asssets in Fordsham which are I suspect the hotels , the flats, the sports club and they not only have value they also are key to any future development/ redevelopment  plans
