On average, they are higher than the average EPL side, but none of them are as valuable a brand as Manchester United.

It would only make sense, since the NFL limits franchises per city. Just imagine if ManU was the only team in Manchester, with no other Premier team or even Championship team within a significant radius. Imagine only Arsenal and Chelsea playing in London.

They list the Veltins brewery as owner/major shareholder of Schalke 04. Schalke's legal status doesn't even allow for an owner or shareholder. Veltins just pays for the stadium name.

That would be a lot of speculation. I think German teams are high in this list because their new stadiums add a lot of value to them. I don’t think Forbes factor in future earnings.

Man U has a more expensive squad then real madrid who are still going through a restructering phase. Lol look at chelsea our revenue is actually quite high because of tv deals and cl. Yet we still have -5 revenue because of stupid transfer prices and wages. Roman probably wont see a cent of profit from chelsea till like 20 years from now at the current way chelsea is spending. 20 mill euros for a RB? What are u mentally retarded??? also dont forget that they could take into account other factors like squad value.

Maybe RM already charges as much as they can, but ManU could still get away with more. Maybe ManU has higher expected future earnings. That would explain the German teams being higher than they should. Tickets are so cheap in Germany that Bayern could double prices any time they want and still fill their stadium.

Huge club, huge brand, and management that can add and subtract.

The Arsenal brand is powerful, the stadium is a massive asset... But he might not have much money to spend depending on running costs and such. In sum : value is a stock, whilst cash is a flow.
