Talk:Forbes list of the most valuable football clubs

message: This table is wrong!  Manchester City are not valued at 383 million, and ranked 20th.  Sheikh Mansoor purchased the club in 2008 for £360 million, and today is valued at 1.92 Billion, which would rank them 6th.

Newcastle United richer than Juventus and Arsenal, and there is another article on wikipedia which shows of the 20 richest clubs in the world and the information is completely different.

replies: text: Forbes only provides reference for the top 20 or so, and even then they are not in the right order. The rest of the list may have just been made up. So I have added the template  to the article. The sunder king 11:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I'm going to nominate this article for deletion, as there are no sources, and having just read the Deloitte Money List and forbes etc. There don't seem to be any sources which confirm the list, or figures. -Toon05 16:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Since this list (albeit in a shortened form) can be updated and verified thanks to references such as , the arguments here do not apply, although the cleanup tags remain.

It seems someone has had their fun with this page... 
I tried to correct the ranking, and added the link to the references. So if I missed an error, somebody else can easily do a crosscheck.

This is from 8 April 2023, they have Aston Villa at $750 million. 
This is their valuation of MLS soccer/football teams. from February of the same year.

They show 4 teams valued higher than Aston Villa, yet none of them make the forbes most valuable list???
They value LAFC at $1 Billion
Can someone explain this to me? Why are the MLS teams excluded? is this a most valuable UEFA team list? Midgetman433 (talk) 16:55, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: EPEAviator wrote "As of 8 April 2023" when the source was added that date , but as of dates should be the date of the source, not the date it was added or accessed. I have changed it to 26 May 2022. The 2 February 2023 source says "Since 2019, the average MLS team’s valuation has climbed 85% to $579 million." The top club is at $1 billion so it would only have to increase 33% in 9 months to have been below $750 million in May 2022. I don't know how accurate the numbers are but it doesn't sound implausible so I wouldn't call it inconsistent. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:35, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. Thanks for that. If you look down the article the other as of dates are by date of edit, so I was aiming to be consistent. Do you have the other dates for previous years, please? EPEAviator (talk) 17:12, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources show dates when clicked. Only two of them were earlier months than stated. I have updated the dates but omitted the day of month. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:11, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Forbes List seems be incredibly inconsistent 

message: New list just dropped. seems the discrepancy issue is fixed, they added MLS teams to the World list and also expanded it from 20 to 30. @EPEAviator @PrimeHunter
