it would be nice to hear stavelys side of the breakdown

He Paid roughly £200 million for the club in 2007, that's about £261 million today.

And that is just about spot on. It's the two relegatons since then which have devalued the club, otherwise it would be worth what he's asking.

It doesn't matter what any of us think the club is worth.
The money in football has gone to new silly heights and Ashley is entitled to value the club how he sees fit, regardless of who thinks otherwise.

If nobody wants to pay it then they slip away into the distance as nothing more than tyre kicking time wasters.

Is he not trying to get back the money he loaned the club in the Championship.I don't know about the second relegation but did he not lend £50 million during the first.

He's added debt through his relegations, but that will be added to his asking price. Some one will have to cough up more than £300 million if they want it IMO.

300 million for a money making machine is small change

but the tv deals are a lot more lucrative these days in comparison and soon to be even better

Yes, and all that money goes to players/wages and their agents. Anyone buying the club will have to hand over most of that 'lucrative' TV deal to them.
