Some lucky tw@ won the Euromillions last night,imagine if it was a Carlisle fan,would the board want him or would they say no thanks "we've got a billionaire lined up" i think we all know the answer.

Often thought if I ever won a huge amount, how much I'd lob in to the Club. Reading the fervour and bollocks on here it could easily be £0!

I recon if I won the £93m, I'd offer £1.23m to the shareholders (split in accordance with their share holding) for the club. I'd stick the £1.77m into the coffers to balance the books, give the P&L's a little boost, making the balance sheet a more attractive for a future buyer. I wouldn't necessarily want hands on involvement so would either appoint a new Sales and Marketing director and MD - then could look to sell on to a suitable party ASAP after buying and stabilising.
Sounds vaguely similar to AL's proposal I guess.

The problem is once you've lobbed £s in you become in the public eye. You down a pint of lager on match day and your suddenly an alcoholic. You put an acca on and you have a gambling addiction. You talk to some random bewer and hay ho your banging her. Who could be arsed?

Aye, but you'd have nearly £100 million in the bank. Why would you care?

put £50M in one account and use the interest of, even @ 2% PA , £1M as an annual investment in the club.
of course in doing so, that would leave you to struggle by on the remaining £43M and £800K annual interest.
or maybe the grief you'd get for not firing £25M in would persuade me to watch from afar. possibly the seychelles or similar.

£1.23m to the existing shareholders? They paid £1 for it and it has gone down in value since then - I wouldn't give Nixon or Jenkins a penny, would just tell them to close the door on their way out and if they are such passionate fans to make sure they took advantage of the brilliant value that a season ticket offers them - though obviously I wouldn't be able to be flexible and extend the early buy offer because that would be far too much like looking after the fanbase.

I would invest in the club, but I would never go public on how much I was worth. In the event of yesterdays winner being a CUFC fan, some of our fans would expect all £95m to be spent on players this summer, when the club would fold within 12 months like that. I'd come under the guise of just "businessman." People may wonder where I got the money from, Steve Pat may think I don't have a pot to **** in, but to be honest, I wouldn't care. Would be better than having people know how much I have, and demand I chuck it all into the club! I'd invest £10m into the club to get us to The Championship, where under the right leadership, we could easily become self sufficient, and go from there.

If I won that amount I would easilly chuck 20 to 30 million at it.
I wouldn't care what anyone on here thought as I would be doing it as a selfless act for the club and wouldn't want the money back.
Even if it went tits up I would see it as a failing from myself and would run it from my own money until someone else showed interest.
Jenkins bleating about dipping his hands in his pocket is grating on me, he put his head on the block by making ridiculous managerial decisions that only the board wanted as it was all cosy and familiar.

I'd publically announce I'd chuck 5/6 mill at the club to build a new main stand, knock blueyonder on the head and tell the club to make money by hiring it out like they complain they can't do with the east stand. And then, like mojo, I'd be as Lord Lucan as I could (disappearing, not murdering a nanny)

True. But I guess you could just join Laffys consortium and be anonymous if you didn't want any attention. |

I'd tell the current owners to sell me it for a quid. If they said no I'd be right onto the papers. Tell them of my plan to put £20 million in as soon as they changed their minds and sit in my tower waiting for them to get back to me. I'd also chip in £20 to the fund to fly a sack the board banner above the ground.

Don't get me wrong, I would still buy several Aston Martins and all the rest of it, I just feel if all the Carlisle fans knew how much you had in the bank, they'd expect you to plow it all into the club and not spend a penny on yourself. |
