I think it's very hard to explain period.

Without being an expert as I've only worked on funding rounds for early stage companies, but football clubs seem to defy classic methods of valuation. The ?56m figure was done as a straight summation as far as I can see, whereas you would expect far more factoring of variables. but what are the variables - is it league status, is it the magical youth team player? So I've absolutely no idea how you put a real figure on it - and again look at other clubs - many seem to have been bought out when it's at rock bottom pay off the debt status (including our pals down the road) and no other asset.

Summary - I don't consider myself an ignorant pleb but I'm clueless, and I'm guessing that most people are too.
