If you had 1 Billion pounds.....

[saj]

I'd withdraw all the money into a mixture of pound coins and £20 notes. I would then throw all the pound coins/£20 notes into my living room and then swim in it like in Duck Tales

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

hire a hitman
to kill every person who is related to the 2 cunts.
and then kill them 2.

get the club on the cheap.


send hitman and some other dodgy fockers around to the families of c.ronaldo,ribery,kaka,villa,
kidnap their families

kidnap the families of the owners of those clubs.

invite those players and their owners to an organised event.

play them a video of their families
-live feed

inform those owners and players what needs to be done next

or the families get it.


watch as liverpool sign world class players for nothing.



etc etc

im

bored

now.

You'd probably get the club for about £500m now, so that's half of it.

The stadium would cost what, £300m to build? Leaving £195m for transfers. I'd keep £5m for myself

[spud_gun]

Buy a horse and a dog.

[BallBoy]

I'd stump up about £100m to buy the club and borrow the other £300m or so I'd need and then use the clubs revenue to pay off the interest each season. I'd ofcourse be too busy spending my remianing £900m to buy any players so I'd leave the manager needing to sell before he could buy. Oh and I'd fly in for league games against the other top 4 teams as well as champions league knock out games. Sounds familiar............

Give us your best 'Yee Haw!' and we'll see if you've got the job

I'd buy myself into FIFA. Then I'd rule that every club owner must have been a season ticket holder for ten years prior to buying the club.

You'd basically have a load of clubs without owners

I would donate some of it to good football forum sites and then log on here to read some bollocks, :crackoff

On a serious note , I would deffo invest in my beloved club and **** the yanks off outta ya , Stadium is a must although I would use the yanks design because when/if built it would be best in the world bar none, also build multi storey car park at anfield and charge £5 per car for parking on matchdays sweet.
Then have a quiet night on the tiles with a keebab or a good curry to finish off before the work starts

That'd be an absolute ******* to get out of after the game

There'd always be someone willing to take a club on. It would eliminate people buying clubs to make a quick buck or the foolish fly by nights. I'd also bring in a salary cap. Any extra money made by clubs would go partly into the local area to regenerate and partly into the local FA to be moved between clubs less self sufficient in times of need, a sort of interest free loans, more to improve local stadia and facilities mind.

I would think that using this method clubs would avoid financial trouble. There would be only nominal amounts of money to be made from owning and running the club, a set allowance per annum if you like in the same way any job would pay a wage.

Anyone willing to pump money into a club would be welcome too, but made aware that the only money they could look to get back is the same money they put in. If for instance someone pumps £100m into Tranmere and gets them in the premie league, they would be perfectly entitled to get their money back that would arrive from increased success on the pitch.

In this way fans of clubs would still be allowed to invest in the clubs they love, meaning people such as Steve Gibson of Boro would still be in the game.

How many average joe ST holders have the wealth to buy a football club?

No idea. Though if you couldn't make money from the clubs I guess it wouldn't matter too much who owned them.

I guess one long term plan would be to get every club to use their profits to pay back the owners the money they invested. Once they were reimbursed in full the club is taken of their hands and handed over to the fans. The season ticket holders would then hold a vote and nominate who they wanted to give the job of running the club.

Initially LFC would be in the same situation they are now in, huge debts. But once the debts were paid there would be no one able to make money of the club.

On another note, who wishes David Moores had sold the club to Steve Morgan before either DIC or the Yanks came on the scene.

[Craig_H]

But the point is, hardly any 10 year long ST holders would be able to afford the clubs. So your rule would struggle.

If you read all of my last post I offered an idea meaning they would not have to pay a penny for the club.
