I don't think this could be done or indeed it's an asset in any sort of capital value - my understanding (and happy to be corrected) is the land the stadium occupies in a long term council lease with a specific proviso as use for a sporting venue - of course the council could change the for use provision but I think medium term that would be contractually difficult.
Personally I can't wait for the use of the "other" land to be designated, any revenue benefits to the club clarified and we move swiftly away from land issues.
Of course football will remain a financial basket case but looking at all the known factors I still think we are a club that just could be attractive to a mega rich benefactor.
I probably phrased it badly, but the point I was generally trying to make was unlike a loss making football club a failing business might have quantifiable value in terms of land, premises and say machinery. With a club though their assets like say the east stand have no real value outside of the football club as an ongoing entity so it’s hard to give them value. I guess the question is what are the factors that determine a clubs worth to potential buyers, is there any logic too it when nearly all clubs run at a loss.
