It [a takeover] would take time,\u201d Plumley said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny takeover is still going take a few weeks even if you fast track it. You\u2019ve got to go through the due diligence. You\u2019ve got to do the owners and directors test. <\/p>\n<p>MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at November now, if it was to be a full takeover as an example, it might be a little bit too late for January. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think in terms of the valuation, the revenue lines up about \u00a3170m and it has been since they\u2019ve been in the Premier League. They\u2019re in that group of clubs in the Premier League that would carry a valuation of around \u00a3250million.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen Everton go for \u00a3400m. Newcastle was \u00a3300m a couple of years ago, but under different circumstances. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it\u2019s quite easy to get those clubs, you know, look kind of odd mid-table bottom Premier League clubs to a valuation of \u00a3250m at least. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I would say within that as well is that\u2019s not included investment over the top.  So if it is \u00a3250m circum valuation buy the cover and everything that comes with it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve then got to look at the working capital to invest as you say, and and, obviously, there\u2019s a they\u2019re not doing well on the minute on the pitch, so there\u2019s some work to do. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you got infrastructure projects in mind etc. So that can quickly become a \u00a3300m to \u00a3400m project, which is the valuation plus the working capital to take the club forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-1240621733_1200x824-1024x703.jpg\" alt=\"Wolves\" class=\"wp-image-432435\" \/>John Textor multi-club model plans<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/stefan-borson-this-is-what-john-textors-takeover-plan-could-be-after-wolves-latest\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Textor could buy Wolves as part of a multi-club model<\/a>, with the American already holding majority stakes in three clubs including Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>The 60-year-old sold his shares in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/crystal-palace\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Palace<\/a> in June amid the clubs battle to remain in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/john-textor-in-sheffield-wednesday-takeover-battle-as-another-billionaire-joins-the-race\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Textor has also showed interest in Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>, as the Championship club look for a takeover following the reign of Dejphon Chansiri and after going into administration.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago) Sat 8 November 2025 9:00, UK The amount John Textor may have to pay to purchase&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251055,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[104620,218,104621,101,56,54,55,10588],"class_list":["post-251054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-dr-dan-plumley","tag-football","tag-john-textor","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wolves"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
