VISIT THE FINANCE HUBCity Football Group worth up to £6bnEverton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – doesn’t think the losses recorded by City Football Group will have any financial impact on Man City.
MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast, Wyness believes it would take “very serious” buyers to afford to takeover City Football Group.He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “I don’t think it’s going to impact Man City. I’ve been thinking about this in detail and I think that while there are losses, and they’ve sustained the building and the cost of building this brilliant group of clubs that they’ve put together, they’ve done it a long time.
But the value of that group together is probably easily dwarfing the amount they’ve spent now. “I mean, if you were to sell Man City and the whole group, City Football Group together, the valuations, you’re looking at probably, you know, five, six billion is the sort of range, you know, without going through it in detail, but you’d be looking at a very serious group.
