How would you pitch it, what do you see been Barnsley's key selling points ?? What would make someone want to buy us ?
I don't think that anybody would want to buy a league one club with no assets. We are essentially unsellable
That's not part of the club as supertyke is pointing out. The club as in barnsley fc are just players contracts (and the value of them) as well as ticket income and other income. We have no physical assets as in ground as that is owned under another company.
John Stones' consistent improvement could be worth more than the entire club at this point, worth a punt for an investor
I've been thinking about this and have come up with a plan. First of all I'd arrange a meeting of interested parties downstairs in the No7 ,then,after a few drinks had been consumed I'd offer to sell for a £1 .........err hang on minute ...
I think that anyone who does buy it would need to have some connection with the club, i.e. someone who loves the club and followed then since they were a kid. Otherwise it would have to be someone who has tons of money and wants a hobby, a bit like Man City. As a business investment it doesn't look very enticing.
As the club stands now it hasn't got much selling power - but in my view its a club that has never realised its full potential - the club hasn't much successful history behind it. But when it has had that little bit of success the club has shown it could be a top Championship club or even a Premiership club. The fan base is there given the club has a few years of success. Or should I say the fan base has been there in the past, and its going to take a huge effort now to get it back. As for selling the club, and having not had experience of selling something like this - I would employ someone who has shown in the past that they are able to build a business up from nothing and sell it on for a £££ BILLION. Someone with a business pedigree such as Patrick Cryne Which of course begs the question - after all these years why hasn't Patrick been able to sell the club ???
1. Declining crowds. 2. Falling revenue 3. Not profitable 4. No assets 5. Requires £2m underwriting p.a 6. Asking price £1m (going on previous debates) 7. Further payment of £4/5m if we get to the Prem (this has been mentioned before) 8. Assets could be purchased separately for £6m (at a wild guess) Yeah can't possibly see why there isn't a queue of buyers stretching down Grove Street.
