No Hearts? :confused:

[Scorrie]

Hibs are priceless anyway

[Since90+2]

Just shows you how mad football has went for Stoke City are the 19th most valuable club in the world.

[Hibernia&Alba]

No Hearts? :confused:

The list must have been collated by a bitter Hobo who wants to do down The Famous. 400,000 fans but nae mention. It's rigged.

Money down in the English game is ridiculous. Whenever they knock Scottish football it's just a joke. Never a level playing field

[Bostonhibby]

No Hearts? :confused:
They're in the world's most famous list.

And the most gullible

Iirc Nokia came from nowhere to number 2 or 3 in global brandness and then nosedived. I'd really like to meet someone from marketing to tick off the buzz words off my bingo card ;)

[High-On-Hibs]

Just goes to show that money and value are 2 different things. Nothing "valuable" about these clubs.

West Ham, Southampton, Stoke??

[Spike Mandela]

These figures mean **** all to me and for me it's not what football is about and probably the reason I have long since stopped watching Champions league football and such like.

If Hibs aren't playing I'd much rather watch Sauchie Juniors v's Bo'ness than any of the overpaid Harlem Globetrotters in that list.

[Waxy]

Give me Scottish football anyday over that English crap. Least we have a connection and have a real passion for our clubs. England? Money has wrecked it.

West Ham, Southampton, Stoke??Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal??

I agree, wonder what will happen if the Sky money was to slow down.

[MWHIBBIES]

I agree, wonder what will happen if the Sky money was to slow down.Someone else would broadcast it or sky would pay a fee similar to the other top leagues. The big teams would still be the big teams and the small teams would still be the small teams.

Only major difference would be mid table English clubs wouldn't be offering more money than top clubs from other leagues.

[hibs69]

West Ham, Southampton, Stoke??

Above AC Milan?

Everton at no 13. Good old Toffees! Not so dusty after all!

Are you honestly saying fans of English teams don't have a connection to their clubs? Or don't have passion? - think I could introduce you to a fair few guys who would disprove that theory

I would agree with this ..... But there is no doubt that fans of many English clubs are themselves are beginning to talk about a disconnect caused by too many of them being priced out. Reports that talk about football clubs being 'brands' kind of supports that ... at some point over the last two decades the EPL moved from being a passionate football league to a tourist destination ..... some fans even complain that 'fans' from abroad buying tourist packages to EPL games keeps the prices inflated because some clubs don't need local support ( or at least as much of it ) to fill their grounds any more.

I would doubt though that a fan of Everton or Arsenal is any less as passionate about their club as I am about Hibs ...... its just that I support the best club in the world. Not the biggest, not the richest .. just the best :greengrin

Very fair and balanced post, agree with all points, especially the final point 😃
Just thought that it should be challenged when it's generally stated that fans of English teams don't share or demonstrate the same levels of passion or commitment when clearly their is no evidence of this.

[nellio]

Above AC Milan?

Just what I was thinking. Surely not!!

And no one out of top 9 will ever win 'Champions' League as a result of this ridiculous fix for money over sporting integrity.

[nellio]

No sign of Inter on that list either and they won the champions league not that long ago!

[Since90+2]

When clubs like Stoke and Southampton are deemed to have a higher brand value than clubs with European pedigrees like Ajax , Benfica , Inter and AC Milan it just shows how mental the sport has become.

[Dashing Bob S]

The extent that football has become warped by money has moved from the obscene to the bizarre. Stoke City and Southampton on a list that omits Inter Milan and Ajax. God spare us all.

They do, but not as much as Scottish clubs.When you get your local team full if players from another country all earning more in a month than the average fan makes in his life? Yeh feel the connection eh? Kiss the badge.

Been to many games in England? Most clubs aren't in the Premier League there you know...

[Cabbage East]

Ah the romance of football. 'Brand values'.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Nonsense. AC Milan are second most successful club in european history. Juve in final last year, borussia dortmund a couple of years back, atletico twice in recent years.

Its all cyclical. In mid 90s you would have had clubs like Parma and Sampdoria in there, early 2000s Deportivo and Valencia. In the 80s hamburg etc

Dont understand why people take such offence, that top 10 seems about right

It is measuring rhe richest most valuable clubs, not the moat historic or romantic.

True, but we know that ajax, benfica et al suffer in same way celtic and the huns do.

And italian teams have noone to blame but themselves.
They were complacent in the 90s and allowed england to surge ahead of them - they are still sruck in the past with a compketely unmarketable product.

And spain is hamstrung by being in thrall to two huge clubs, much like in scotland.

Clubs have created this situatiob, they are not some innocent victims in all of this

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

No Hearts? :confused:

Must be a politically and masonic free company then.

:wink:

I suppose. Enjoyed Bristol rovers celebrations when they got their last minute winner to take them up. Just dont see it with the big club down there.
