EFL commission independent ground valuation?

What are those robust rules?

 

If there was a piece of land next to your house where only you and your neighbour could gain access and you and your neighbour really wanted to have a bigger garden, that land in essence is pretty worthless however as the only land available and two parties desperately wanting that land what it sells for and its inherent value can be two very different values...  What the EFL are trying to imply is that if the ground is sold for more than its value then its dodgy, my point is lots of things sell for way over their inherent value.

 

The rules are set out in the RICS red book.

 

Yes - valuation will include assumptions on the worth of the land, and in the above case, the market will determine who comes out on top. However, the valuation can not predict the level of premium or desperation value which one party will pay. The scenario you set out includes two 'special purchases' and the pre-sale valuation will reflect this, which will be higher than the 'worthless' value. Sometimes unscrupulous landlords buy up these strips of land knowing this may happen in future -  it's called ransom value.

 

Your point that the EFL are implying the ground is valued more than it's worth may be correct, but if the valuation by a reputable company is £60m I can't see how they could challenge it.

I don't see why every one is worried DC is a professional business man - knowing the issues involved with the FFP and P&S rules he won't have plucked a number out of the air to value the club he will have got it professionally valued by an external source and filed all the documents to prove it.

This is just the EFL trying to make themselves look like the guardians of the game. When in reality they are becoming irrelevant, there power is diminishing and have become the PL's lackeys. This is them stamping there feet saying we are still here after the Bury / Bolton debacle.

Maybe if they let clubs run themselves and get rid of the ffp etc they would not keep bringing problems on themselves. 

A victorian institution that needs putting to sleep.

We will just get told dont do it again along with all the other clubs.

Using that formula  can you work back from the £60m valuation to an estimated rebuild cost or are there too many variables in the depreciation calc?

I thought the ground had been valued at 38m and wasn’t Derby’s valued at 80m?

The fact is that the stadium is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it.

It's because they couldn't get us on the technicality of using the ground to get out of ffp so they are now trying a different angle by using the valuation so what you have put is bang on the money. It's what somebody is willing to pay not how much someone deems it is worth. To most Wednesday its its priceless so DC got a good deal

Surely anything is worth what someone will pay for it. If  DC is willing to pay sixty million then there shouldn't be an issue.
Just the throw pots at EFL having another go at us.

 

Technically that's true but requires a willing buyer and seller - this normally means two or more separate parties to achieve a market value .The key to all this is that the buyer and seller are the same party in all but name. This point isn't hidden and is simply to pump capital into the business. The EFL don't like for obvious reasons as it flaunts the rules.

 

The accounts rely on an independent valuation, or as MK says a depreciated re-build figure which discounts the need for a market assessment. The latter is an asset valuation really which is normally done every 3/5 years for the accounts.
