Valuation growth is available, but to get there some questions need to be asked and changes made. #sportsbiz #commerical #content #valuation #growth Luis Vicente Laurie Pinto Rich Johnson Jo Redfern Samuel Westberg Murray Barnett Chris Sice Wade Cawood Richard Gillis Harry Hughes James Paton https://lnkd.in/eyH58gtz
