A debt value of 17%. Thought it'd be much higher than that. 

 

Club value nearly being half a billion is just mesmerising, really. Who'd have thought we would be in the top 20 clubs in the world just 10 years ago, let alone any time before that. 

 

Unreal.

Unreal. 

What was the value of the club when kingpower bought it?

They play at the "World Famous" City Ground, apparently.

Not forgetting the Clough Cup the richest competition in the East Midlands.

According to Nikkei.com, they bought the club for $76m (£48m) in 2010 

 

Other sources quote £40m. 

I don't think it was as high as £48m, IIRC didn't Mandaric pay about £25m? I don't think there was much reason for the club's value to improve that much in that short space of time.

This site says £39m

Self-made billionaire Khun Vichai, as he is known in his native Thailand, bought the Midlands side for £39m from serial football club owner Milan Mandaric at a time when they was saddled with debt following six seasons outside the Premier League.

Personally I am stunned not to see Notts Forest on this list. 

I am even more stunned not see Celtic's Reserves in there, given Chris Sutton usually speaks the truth.   It is staggering though how the gap between ourselves and the Sheep and Trees has grown over a 7 year period.   God we are lucky.
