Stays£814m · 100%
Relegated£282m · 0%

How the value is built

Revenue approach: forward revenue of £252m × adjusted multiple 3.47x = £876m.

Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £484m.

The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of -3.1%, giving £814m if the club stays in the Premier League. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.
