The valuation is a little silly! If you flattened it build as many houses on it as physically possible you'd still never make it worth 60 mill.

Lord Snooty Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Surprised they didn't get an 'Independent valuation' from a member of SAG "Hillsborough? Well, in my expert opinion it's worth about fourteen pounds." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not how its worked out, they take into account what somebody would be willing to pay for a football club, which is totally different to building house's on a plot of land.

If you flattened it build as many houses on it as physically possible you'd still never make it worth 60 mill. That's not how it's calculated though. It's based on how much it would cost to build a new stadium of similar stature less an amount for the existing stadiums expected lifespan. Eg if it would cost £120m to build a new stadium that would last 50 years & the expected future lifespan of the old stadium is 25 years, then the valuation is £60m. At least thats how I understand it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can attempt block it under the Owners' and Directors' Test, I've tried going through this https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/appendix-3---owners-and-directors-test/ but it's a bit dense. They can, in extreme circumstances expel a club, lets not forget what happened at Bury. My personal take on this is that the EFL has been very lax in it's application of the it's Owners' and Directors' Test in this case, and have allowed both Wigan and themselves to be dragged into fraud and league-fixing betting scandal. They are now stuck between a rock and hard place. Do they, dock Wigan 12 points and relegate them effectively becoming complicit in a league-fixing con or not apply their regulation on administration in this case due to extenuating circumstances and risk the wrath of clubs who have fell foul of said regulations in the past? Rock, hard place. All their own fault, zero sympathy for the EFL, it's an appalling run organisation. Feel very sorry for Wigan and their fans.

Yeah, it's always the fans who suffer they have no say in the running of the clubs, who owns them etc. As we have seen football is poorer spectacle without the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling their case is a bit on the special side and wouldn't be surprised if they were allowed a reprieve or suspended deduction pending full investigation. It's the EFL, all bets are off. The rules on points deduction allow for an appeal based on exceptional circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual wording is "Source and sufficiency of funding". It's not just proving you've actually got the funding, but proving that it's from a legitimate source.

At least thats how I understand it. Sorry, but that's not correct. It really does depend on what the local plan for Hillsborough is. If it is purely for use as a sports club, then the ground would have a very low valuation for redevelopment as it could take years to get planning permission for housing. Not a cats chance in hell would any significant high rise development be allowed. The cost to demolish and decontaminate the land prior to construction would probably be in the region of £5m before you even dug the first trench. I would value Hillsborough as it is now - a football stadium. With the amount of money required to modernise it I would suggest that value would be no higher than £25m.
