I would not, investing in football is not profitable, I would follow Alan Sugar's advice and stay clear of football clubs.
Would try and buy ACL for 20 million.
Would try and buy the club for 20 million all additional debts left with SISU.
I would keep
Murphy
Burge
Clarke
Webster
Willis
Wilson
Haynes
Phillips
Thomas
Fleck
Barton
Adams
Moussa
Marshall
I would sign another 6 free transfers
The squad would then be supplemented with the academy players and loanees
I would Amin for a squad of 18 permanent
4 loanees
4 kids
I would be straight with the fans players will be sold if the situation completely suits the club.
The Clark scenario for example would not have suited
He would not have been sold. His choice then would be finish the season as the league one top scorer then a guarantee that if our valuation is met he will be sold.
Or keep refusing to play and see what move he gets in the summer.
There would be a huge community initiative.
A chosen fans group would be brought closely into to the club.
All decisions hard and easy will be fully and frankly explained.
Attempts would be made to turn Saturday at the Ricoh into a full family day
With events all morning in the build up.
Seperately for those not with their kids events at the Casino and the new weather spoons will have a club input.
Top players will be sold once a suitable cheaper alternative is found.
Appoint Thorn and lose all my money
No No No and No again however I would be happy to invest in a local team like sphinx etc and get them through the leagues, its a lot less risky and I would not have to shell out as much.
I would gazump sisu on any piece of land they tried to buy for their new stadium
If I win the full ammount tonight yes I would, if the jackpot was shared then no I wouldn't.
I certainly won't be going to sisu with a cheesy grin saying I've just won the lottery and want to buy the club though, I'd take advice on what club is worth without the sius/arvo debts and then make an offer above that, say sisu I've got 7 mill here for you take it or leave it and you'll have to wipe off your debts and then I'd be patient, ready to pick up the pieces when they go.
I certainly wouldn't consider it an investment though, it would be money I was willing to lose to fix my football club. I'd make sure we have 20k+ fans next year back in the Ricoh too and have a good go at promotion, I will be willing to throw money at growing the fan base, obtaining the stadium etc, but would be sensible in transfer dealings.
Well that saved me having to write an indepth reply. Everything noggin said. Apart from i still would even if i won a share of the jackpot.
My wife turned to me in bed this morning and said I'm so snuggly I don't want to get up, nore me I said, I was just dreaming I'd won the Euromillions and brought the football club, she sat bolt upright, you'd have to win a bloody lot of money before you're allowed to do that. I said I won't buy the football club unless it leaves us with over 50million in our account, she was happy with that.
Nope. Not a chance. I like being a fan, as soon as you have a financial interest in something then that's when you can no longer act and be like a fan.
Also, I'm not quite sure I like the idea of ploughing all my money into something, just to be called a c**t in the street by one of you lot for not extending Freddy Eastwood's £10k a week contract.
Oh of course, god knows there's many of them.Is it OK if we call you a c**t for other reasons?
No No No and No again however I would be happy to invest in a local team like sphinx etc and get them through the leagues, its a lot less risky and I would not have to shell out as much.
I would buy the club, and the Ricoh.
I would form a new board of directors that would include:
OSB58 - I would need financial help, that's for sure.
Grendel - No doubting his love for the sky blues, and would be in charge of ACL, targetted with maximising profit from the Ricoh... (Although may have to have a lesser, smaller board too that he can run to when the main board members don't agree with him...)
NW - we would need a level head on the board - (he can also help moderate the smaller board) (He would probably only accept the role on the understanding that he can post that I'm not the right person to own CCFC, so he can tell everyone years later "I told you so"
Otis - He's bound to be a workaholic, if only to get away from his wife more often..
_brian_ - to get the average age of the board higher...
Dong - I don't think Grendel would accept the job unless Dong was on the board too...
Other board members required too. Lets see your CV's !!
let me be director of football because i know more about football than everyone on this forum.
