Value - Rotherham United ( If Club Put Up For Sale )

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Some Millers Mad posters saying Tony Stewart should sell the club.
But the club are lying in a relegation spot in league one, who would want to buy the club.
Tony Stewart is a business man, knows about money, but sorry to say nothing about football.
If Tony Stewart had / did sell the club, it would have been when the club were in the championship when in 12th spot I believe, when Paul Warne left the club.
Then he perhaps would have got a decent amount for the club, with any interested parties looking to buy it.
But now who would be interested in buying.
What would help the club is some investment from a outside source, with Paul Douglas saying TS is open to accept.
The Millers are in dire trouble, with injury prone players bought on top money, a manager Steve Evans who emptied the coffers, bringing sub-standard players looking for a last payday.
Then now we have a manager in Matt Hamshaw who is not doing well, playing what players & his tactics dire.
We have to hope we can ride out the dissaray the club are in stay in league one, & start a fresh next season.

Buying the club would be the easy bit

Once you’ve bought it you need a ground to play on with rufc the ground isn’t part of the club

I would ask all those that are saying Tony should sell to make him an offer.

It?s easy for people that work a normal job, buy a season ticket and a shirt to tell someone else what they should do with their multi million pound business.

It?s not easy for people in a normal jobs to pay money out for a season ticket & buy shirts to watch the crap we have had to put up with over the last 2-3yrs.We will see Thursday what the fans think.If his light bulbs are as good has the product he?s trying to sell the fans he would be in big trouble.

There is tremendous interest in buying English football clubs (even at our level) particularly from America and the Middle East. Maybe Stewart is massively over valuing Rotherham United.

Surely he?s not been talking to Chansiri?

I think if I was going to spend that sort of money I would pick a place that?s got a better reputation than Rotherham.

For anyone to buy any club then the chance of making money may over ride the clubs possition and it's location. Ego used to be the big thing that drew the richest business man of the area into the role and their ego carried them through. Often their stay was far langer than it should be.

The future money will come from TV revenue or on line streaming.

I'm not sure we are in "dire trouble ".
Talk about OTT,dire trouble was 20 years ago, Wednesday are in dire trouble.
We've had a crap start to a league one season.

The club is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

My point of the post was -
With Tony Stewart being a shrewd business man, he would have sold the club while in the championship.
Not until dropping a league, & being in a relegation spot.
With Tony Stewart now saying he is open to investors.

In hindsight he should have allowed investors into the club, when in the championship, in a decent position, when Paul Warne left.
Be it the club without a manager, getting any investors who know about football, they could have helped Tony Stewart in getting a manager, in a joint agreement to the selection.
Which would help relations in the boardroom.

I'm not sure what exactly would be on sale.
The club doesn't own the stadium or training ground so there's not a lot to excite any potential buyers.
I don't think our financial position is anything like as dire as that lot at S6 but, in reality, our overall situation as a club is not that dissimilar.

League status is a tangible asset as are league position and players/contract status. The first one is still in place for now but the value of the others has vastly diminished since PW took his 30 pieces of silver. Pile the current debt, state of the town and its reputation on top and we have very little value at the moment, if any.

I guess the other issue is that the potential of the club will always be seen as limited at best.
Again, not a particularly attractive prospect for any potential buyer or investor.

And Wrexham were a really attractive proposition ?
