Yeah I know the answer is two bob but seriously. One of the relegation threads mentioned that John Berylson is looking to sell so what exactly would get you the whole kit and ka boodle.
Obviously a bit would depend on what division they are in next season but what do you think a realistic price would be on the open market ?
Over to you.

depends what their debt is, I don't think they own their ground so cant include that, but like us in a good location in London
we was what 14/15 Million.
if I was to guess I would say because they are in London, don't own their ground I reckon around 10 Million0 -

Reason I am interested is because if they are up for sale would they be a target for someone that might spend money on them. Plenty of dosh out there for a punt on s football club.

Impossible to say without knowing what the debt is and what, if any, assets they have.
If you are asking how much to buy them then I say £1 plus take on all the debt.0 -
but not for one that attracts low life's and bottom feeders for supportersShootersHillGuru said:Reason I am interested is because if they are up for sale would they be a target for someone that might spend money on them. Plenty of dosh out there for a punt on s football club.

In all seriousness though, not worth a light. I said I would never patronise those scumbags ever again but I just had to make sure I will be there on 3 April to see them one last time before they slip I into oblivion so went in person to the Valley to get my ticket earlier. I'm not bitter for the mental scarring I suffered as a young lad though.1 -
Do they have a stake in the triangle development which got planning permission a while ago?0

I think people would be willing to pay more to burn the club to the ground than the actual amount required to purchase it.4

if you are a foreign owner I think London clubs are see as better options than a club from elsewhere in England0 -
He couldn't give it away! The ongoing losses exceed what we had when Murray wanted out. The crowds are smaller. The squad has an average age of 28. And they have issues with the lease on the ground.
In terms of future revenue they have a 0% chance of battling into the FAPL any time soon.
CAFC was effectively sold for a tenner with the debts to cafc holdings (BVI) being redeemed, albeit with a haircut. This because the ongoing losses were £5m (as opposed to Millwall £10m), we own the ground and academy outright and the controversial fact that CAFC did NOT have long term commitments to a bottom six squad. For this reason alone it has been far less expensive to build a mid-table team. And this in turn means it takes just one more step to reach the play-offs and the FAPL.
I've posted this before but clubs like Millwall losing £10m a year in the bottom half of the Championship and clubs whose parachute monies run out may well go under sooner or later because there is simply no appetite for a business man to buy.
Conversely clubs like us and Wednesday will change hands because we don't have bloated squads and, as above, we are one step away from the play-offs which give a chance at a £150m media rights jackpot.
It sounds harsh but with the increased loss limits I can't see Millwall ever breaking into the top ten. Reason being that the salaries and ambition on offer by top ten clubs will always be much higher and so Millwall simply cannot attract the talent. Contrast that with Charlton this summer and you can see we might well be an attractive proposition.
I know all this is just a flowery way of stating Millwall are finished but I enjoyed writing it

their training ground sits on a nice bit of land between Bromley & Downham - must be worth a few bob.0

Don't think they own it and it will be designated greenspace, like Sparrows Lane, so very hard to get planning permission for.golfaddick said:their training ground sits on a nice bit of land between Bromley & Downham - must be worth a few bob.
I think someone will buy Millwall if the American sells.
If the price is low enough you could get a consortium of fans ala Palace.
Or a dodgy dealer who wants to launder even dodgier money buys them
or if the price is very low some eccentric Dutchman could add them to his network of clubs across Europe.
Unrealistic I know but anything can happen in football0 -

Negatives
don't own their ground.
Don't own their training ground.
Don't own any decent players
don't have big crowds.
Do make big losses every year
do have a bad reputation.
Are going down to League One
Positives
They are based in London
The only reason for buying the above business is for goodwill and potential turn around but I can't see arguments for either. I genuinely think clubs like this will go bust, there are only so many idiots in the world as the likes of Pompey have found out, in the end they run out. Millwall are maybe lucky in having an owner with deep pockets who seems a stubborn character so may not let them just topple, that really is their one hope.
They are a local rival so I would love to see them relegated, but go out of business, no , I don't like to see that happen to any club.
Football finances are a huge mess of Premier League making but assisted by the incompetence and softness of the FA.3 -
Even being based in London isn't necessarily an advantage, as you're competing with a lot of other clubs, including West Ham with all their extra Olympic Stadium seats to flog cheaply, and the likes of us with our more 'wholesome' family friendly image
