siebsbarmyarmy Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just been speaking at work about this. £117m in tonights draw, if you won this how much if any would you invest in the club. I think I would put about £25m or build a stadium for the club. This topic should prob be in Compost but I'm interested to see if im the only sad bastard that would happily invest £25m in the club and not want a return.

Cakes Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've no idea what kind of split I'd use but if I won the full £117 million, I'd certainly donate the vast majority to the club and charities. It's an obscene amount and no-one really needs that kind of money. If nothing else, having that much money would attract a lot of unwelcome attention. I'd probably get shot of at least £100 million and keep the rest. More than enough to get by. I'd maybe pay for the custom skin and banner that Gaag was talking about for the forum.

Lobey_Dosser Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would never invest directly in the club as it would be pished away and I couldn't be bothered running it but I would offer to buy a few players from time to time that I could potentially sell on for a profit.

johnstone Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would turn Fir Park into a Gladiator arena and if Humphrey doesn't get that cross into the mixer then unfortunatley its a thumbs down and I would release the Lions. I would also have a golden throne and it would be heated for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've thought about this before, to be honest I wouldn't want any direct involvement with the club. I would be happy to set up a fund that guaranteed a set contribution to players every season, say £200k per season. On the proviso that this was not to be budgeted for, i.e. I wouldnt want the movers and shakers thinking they had a guaranteed £200k per year so they could just piss the other funds against a wall and only buy new players with my money. In short, my investment should be looked at as supplemental to everything the club did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieb Dykstra Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 £117million you say? Ya dancer, I'm gonna be loaded I wouldn't invest a lump sum in the club as they would possibly spend it over a couple of seasons then they would end up skint when it run out and would have to chuck players on the dole Nah, I would probably chuck it all into my bank and feed the club the annual interest that was earned every year to help make up for the shortfall in gate money as a result of all those 'fans' that no longer come along to the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think I would find it irresistable not to put something the club's way if I was ever lucky enough to win that kind of dough. I do think like Sieb it would be specific purpose donations rather than chucking money for players. Things like a team bus so that they don''t need to pay hire charges for the next few years, a couple of training pitches with undersoil heating so there's always somewhere for them to train, club museum so that it'll generate income (albeit a small amount) without any investment required from the club. That kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taff Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would definitely build a state of the art academy on the Craig with top class training facilities for the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would invest in the youth development side of the club, build a weather training faculty (charge a lot less than north lanarkshire council), then sit back and wait to see the club grow from the grass roots up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadywellToi Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd subsidize season tickets, let anyone get a season ticket for a tenner. Full stadium and club making same money! John Boyle did this c. 1999-2000 and it didn't work then, why would it now? I'd gift the Wall stadium and use it as conference/exhibition centre during the week. Weddings over the weekends with 10 bedrooms right at the top looking over the whole Clyde Valley and an observation deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would Build a new house that isn't in an Edinburgh Slum, set myself for life and by a whole array of fast cars then Give the rest to the club.SO say £50m For me and my family and £67m for the club. Or I might be selfish and donate the lot to charity!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Have tbh, i might consider putting money in at first but i'd probably give them fa.i'd rather invest in a wee team like albion or airdrie and try to get them up the leagues similar to gretna although with a better ending.

Kamikaze Bob Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Bribe whoever I had to to get standing allowed at the football again! Then re-build part of the stadium to take advantage of the new rules, with corner sections featuring a few apartments to lease to fans, so you can watch the games as part of your contract.

steelboy Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 i'd probably invest half a million a season while i went on a multi year round the world bender. after i got fed up with that i'd return home, take the reigns and unleash a reign of terror. i'd make vlad romanov look like a model chairman and anyone who slated me in the media or online would get an instant life time ban. speirs. leckie. traynor. young. keevins. all banned from fir park. old firm fans banned from fir park. i'd also put lazyboys and a big jacuzzi in down where i sit in the east tae.

mfcdez Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 would make an initial donation of say £10m , to allow for immediate investment in training facilities , stadium upgrade , and to secure Jenno on a new 10 yr contract . Then I would give the club the annual interest off the rest of the money , so that there was a steady flow of funds , rather than give a lump sum , which would probably end up pissed up against a wall , or spent on the new Shaun McSkimming .
