Are those figures correct?

How can Chelsea be valued at over half a Billion more after last season?

From memory, some of the clubs get a boost because of the debt they have.
Debt is usually used to purchase assets or fund expansion so its viewed as a good thing by the formula Forbes use.

Utds debt is all leveraged against the buyout debt and hasn't added any value to the club.

So their value is massively overstated

It’s all right, I will have bought the club by then, having made my fortune selling hot air to the Arabs.

Yep. Essentially the rags and Chelsea are having their debt added to their value when it should have been subtracted.

Could look at that both ways to be fair

How?
We’re both worth tonnes of money, we don’t need or want to sell and it shows Bayern have the means to pay what we want.
What other way is there to look at that?
