Which Premier League side is worth the most?
10. West Ham - £215million
Despite Hammers move to Olympic Stadium for next season which will benefit for them, the sale of Bolelyn Ground which was a prize asset has taken a hit on their balance sheet. That said, they should benefit from increased matchday revenue once they complete their move to Stratford.
9. Everton - £216million
Despite the Toffeemen made £28million last year, the questions over Bill Kenwright's lack of investment prevent them from moving up to the next level to land a new stadium.
8. Newcastle - £221million
Having Mike Ashley as the Premier League's fifth-wealthiest owner has been much criticised. Regular protests against his ownership, St.James' Park continuous to sell out and failed to stump up the cash. Will the fans finally lose patience?
7. Southampton - £259million
Markus Liebherr bought the club in 2009 and together with his daughter Katharina has kept the club in an excellent financial shape making £31 million last year.
6. Liverpool - £537million
Dissapointed with their current infrastructure, Liverpool are looking to boost matchday revenue by redeveloping the Main Stand at Anfield, which will help them to close the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United.
5. Tottenham - £710million
Once they complete their new stadium in 2018, Tottenham will be able to boast of having London's biggest club stadium which its capacity can mount to 61,000. Speaking of their ten-year contract with the NFL, they will also benefit financially as becoming the host at least two games each season.
4. Chelsea - £826million
As in Liverpool's case, their revenues from matchday is limited by their stadium's capacity and if they are about to redevelop Stamford Bridge, the Blues have London property prices to contend with. A record sponsorship deal with Yokohama has helped see the club's value to boost by more than a third from the previous 2 seasons.
3. Manchester City - £907million
Since September 2008, the club is owned by Sheikh Mansour, one of football's wealthiest owner which worth almost four times as much as Roman Abramovich. Move to their stadium, being owned by the local council and the possibly FFP sanctions. Moreover, their new £200 million of training complex is an exceptional asset and also they don't need to invest sums of money into their stadium like Chelsea and Tottenham do.
2. Arsenal - £1,118million
Gunners boss (#wengernomics) has transformed Arsenal into a model club. Arsene Wenger has personally supervised the construction and finance of the Emirates Stadium which opens the gate and brings huge contribution of corporate revenues of every game.
1. Manchester United - £1,848million
It's not a surprise that Manchester United sit on the top rank. This commercial beast is the largest shirt sponsorship and kit deals in the world with £47million from Chevrolet per season and a three-quarters of a billion pounds over ten years respectively. Moreover, the Red Devils play in the biggest club stadium in England!
