Man U worth 5 billion more than Liverpool? Where has that come from? Looking at the commercials (Forbes data 2022)
Similar revenues, similar operating income, similar everything really.
The only thing that's not similar is Man U need to spend hundreds of millions (if not a billion) on a new stadium and training facilities and Liverpool dont. No doubt the USD:GBP fx rate is a major reason why they want to sell, but the crumbling stadium is another major reason.
For sure Man U is globally a bigger brand, but 5 billion more? No chance
Aside from that - whether you love or loathe these two clubs, i find it very sad that pretty much any shark investor can come in and buy them just to make money. We should have the German 50+1 ownership system in place to ensure commercial investors can only own 49% of a club.
