Sports teams have been valued for some time by the rather perfunctory method of multiple of revenues, with that multiple far smaller for Premier League teams than it is for major American teams across sporting markets, particularly the NFL. Forbes released its latest football team valuation report for 2023 recently, focusing on the most valuable football teams in world football. But Forbes’ valuation puts the Blues 25th out of 30 with a value of $744m (£597m). Of the 30 clubs featured in the 2023 Forbes list, Everton have seen the biggest decline in valuation year on year, down 21 per cent on its 2022 figure. Sources included the teams’ annual reports and documents, team executives and investors, credit rating agency reports, sports bankers and the annual Deloitte Football Money League report.
