Around 25M. ME has had offers in the region of 20M and turned them down.

1p or a notional £ is the going rate for a destitute club with no assets and huge debts. And that's if the debt is written off

I think Evans stated in a rare interview, that he has had offers, but they did not reflect the "true value" of the football club.

When we are relegated we will be worth evan less. On a financial level, Evans must be getting deeply concerned at our plight.

We don't own our ground, rented from Ipswich borough council, our training facilities are owned by Evans, not the football club.

Our only assets are the players.

The ground / stadium does have an asset value.

We have it on a long lease, and pay a relatively low ground rent.

I also suspect that any deal would include buying the training ground from ME.

Quite. Plus the only time the land or a stadium a football club owns is going going to be considered as a sellable asset is the point the club's up sh1t creek. Owners buy clubs for football money, not land money in the event everything goes wrong.

So a potential buyer isn't going to be attributing too much value to a poxy lease then, are they?

That's the problem with intangible assets. The value is in the eyes of an accountant and 'worth' is open to interpretation.

Quite so. I think the biggest problem would be buying the clubs debt from Evans.

Town do own the stadium, which as you say has a value, £10 million if I remember from a previous set of accounts, only the land is leased. Agree re training ground.

I suspect the only "value" is in the market value of the playing squad (intangible assets) and the potential to get Premier League millions.

But the business can't sustain itself which would reduce it's value.

I genuinely don't think it's worth anywhere near the £30m mentioned by the OP.

Quite so. I think the biggest problem would be buying the clubs debt from Evans.


The debt would almost certainly be written off in order to facilitate a sale. The loans were never made with the expectation they would be paid back. There would probably be some aspect of the deal that further cash would be payable to ME if and when the club was promoted.

Do you know what offers have been turned down, am sure I either read or heard that ME has turned down offers of around 20M before but my mind might be going the same way as factuals the older I get!

Are you aware if there has been any serious interest Phil, and if so, and idea as to who was interested? Local? Overseas?

I've not heard figures but ME said he had had offers a few years back.
