Norfolk Dan 336 Posted January 31, 2017 ...you net £70m... How much will you have to spend to buy your club? What are you buying? A staduim? A guaranteed 25k fans/customers every 2 weeks? Employees who are assets to the business worth more than £30m? Could you buy the club and sell off the player assets? And promote youth development? Could you buy in at £40m and invest £30m on players & wages and gamble the PL prize money? What would you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted January 31, 2017 Donate 50 million to good charitable causes, then buy a nice house and retire to a nice life, why buy into something you have no clue about and will inevitably wipeout your money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 108 Posted January 31, 2017 A football club or a big fu(k off yacht,? both bottomless pits to soak up your cash, just build a wall at bottom of A140. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted January 31, 2017 I''d buy it for £1 and bring in a proper board with dynamic footballing knowledge. I''d then raise all the ticket prices by 10% to cover the £10 million war chest I''d give to our new manager Darren Huckerby.I''d then sell off our high earning players, reinvest any money into the youth system building a team from young hotshot future superstars as detailed from FM2017.This should propel us up the table and Europe in less than three seasons.

SwindonCanary 457 Posted February 1, 2017 With 70 million I''d like to put enough into the club to get on the board and have a great seat for matches. I don''t need a yacht, as I did all that whilst in the Royal Navy and I don''t need a bigger house, this ones too big for me at the moment. No, with the remaining funds I''d like to be the worlds greatest philanthropic, giving money away to those that need funds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 401 Posted February 1, 2017 I always thought if I won that sort of money I''d give the club an interest free loan to rebuild the city stand. Putting money in the transfer kitty is much more of a gamble, but helping the club become more competive under its own steam could help well into the future.That said I''d set up sort of arrangement where they would pay back the amount, say a million a year for each year they are in the top flight and then it''s perhaps halved in the championship... so I''d get the money back slowly, almost like having a savings account, but in a manageable way with no interest,Then I''d buy the yacht Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
