That turdburgler of a season was an all time record in revenue....wow.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Not a shock at all. That's why these contracts that people think are crazy (Christian Kirk, Kyler Murray) aren't that crazy at all.

The Suns just sold with a valuation of $4B, seems wild that an NFL team in the same market isn't significantly higher.

Cards are easy 4.5B+

But Michael is hurting for money according to some.
83 mill profit and they have to get finances in order to offer Dobbs $2 mill in March.

What a clown show.

Agree.. a valuation does not mean anything when it ain't for sale.
I honestly think they would sell for over $6B

A successful season means something different to MB versus the fans of the team.

Had to give $20 million to each of the Bidwill siblings to keep them happy.

And yet they felt the need to raise ticket prices….

The NFL is just so flush with cash. This is a turd franchise who cannot get enough of their own fans into home games to make them true home games (not bagging on our fanatics here, just making a comparison). My soccer team, Newcastle United, had a trash owner and a bad team because of it, but such a rabid fan base that it was always a tough place to play. They only sold for 300 million pounds. Think about that disparity.

And sold to the richest owners in all of sports. Crazy.

4 of the Top 50 most valuable sports franchise are in the EPL. EPL has a total value of 16.4 billion. 30 of the 32 NFL franchises are in the top 50 with a total value exceeding $136 billion.

The numbers are absolutely bonkers.

so much for my "cash constrained" franchise theory......

17% operating profit (profit / revenue for the non account types here) is on the high side -- the majority of businesses operate closer to 10-11% or so.

The Cardinals would probably sell for over 1.5 billion more than valued.

No chance.

 

[LA Redbird]

Sell high, Bidwill. Please. Now.

 

[Krangodnzr]

No chance.

They absolutely would teams, are routinely selling for significantly more than valued.

Over value, sure. 1.5B with a team in the Phoenix market for a historically bad team, nah.

Irrelevant!

It's one of 32 franchises in the most coveted professional sports league.

The super-rich literally line up to buy a sports franchise.

If you do not think that a franchise's winning percentage and history matters when evaluating franchises, I don't know what to tell you.

I think that a new owner would see opportunity in the Phoenix market which is continuing to grow at a blistering pace. While I wouldn't move back to Phoenix and I'm planning to move to Charlotte next year, Phoenix is considered one of the premier places to live and the economy is exploding there.

There is also relative scarcity since buying an NFL team is pretty hard to pull off and if one is available, you jump on it.

If you are that rich, the history doesn't matter. You know it was Bidwill screwing everything up, and a good owner could turn that around.

NFL is constructed that a GOOD GM with a GOOD owner can reverse fortunes almost overnight.

Compare that to the 49ers. The Niners made over double the Cardinals revenue.
