    I'd have thought other than Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV and Twente any Dutch club would be feeding Bradford City.

    True, I've actually seen Bradford City beat FC Twente Enchede 3 - 1

    Ha ha ha.
    League winners, UEFA cup finalists, In Europe this season?
    Just cos we get big crowds doesn't make us more successful or bigger.
    Big club to me is one who is competing yearly for trophies whilst playing the best there is.

    All of a sudden, Sheikh Jassim dropping out of the race to buy Man United makes sense.

    Yep. Imagine doing that, taking the club nothing but backwards, and expecting to sell for 10m.

    Your mind will be blown on what the Glazers want for Manure under the same premiss

    If the reports were correct then WAGMI offered at least that so it will show him that there is the potential there to get that figure. If someone wants to buy a football club then there are only a limited amount available so they might well have to pay over the realistic value.

    What would Bradford City be worth without the supporters?

    Well no some clubs still own their ground and training, but most have had to sell them to stay afloat.

    Nobody ever asks us who we might like to be owned by. If we are sold to some club who wants to use us as a feeder club my time as a city supporter ends.

    Difficult to value football clubs.

    What City have is a ‘golden pass’ which is membership of the EFL. That intangible item is worth more than a lot of people think.

    Having googled the issue, l came over an article which gave this valuation of City, ‘1 Bradford City League Two £4,573,000’. https://www.olbg.com/blogs/market-value-football-teams

    The number of actual and potential supporters is huge, compared to any other club in League Two and the majority of League One.

    Yes Season Tickets are ‘low cost’, but other revenue streams plus the attractive proposition of commercial partnerships is high.

    Other income streams such as catering and replica apparel sales, need to be factored in.

    pity there doesn’t seem to be anything to back up the valuations. Crawley are not listed even though the they have recently been bought for £5m.
