As per the latest updates, Birmingham City owner Tom Wagner in collaboration with Brady has returned with a revised proposal to make a significant investment eyeing an equity stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. Initially, Brady’s ownership in the Raiders had been pending for the better part of a year after some NFL team owners expressed displeasure with the valuation of the team against the equity Brady was seeking, with reports of it being as much as 70% below market value.
Now, Brady and Wagner, friends for a number of years, have teamed together with Sportico to revise Forbes’ initial valuation, which had placed the team at $6.2 billion (£4.9 billion) by raising it to $5.77 billion (£4.6 billion). This new report from Sportico claims that Brady, Wagner & Co. would be in charge of 10% of the ownership, with Brady’s stake being 7%. This current valuation can also be reduced by the significant debt on the financing of the building of their Allegiant Stadium home.
