Chris Benoit Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 No chance and he'd want a hell of a lot more than that plus you'd have to find even more money to keep the club running! Sorry to pi$$ on your parade! Edit- second thoughts maybe i'm over valueing the club but still no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yup, and then I'd transform the main stand into beanbag seating only. Must go and buy a ticket soon. Tonight's the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Jambo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 no 100m is not enough to buy and run a football club. you're not going to make any money by buying a club and you have to make sure you have enough for it not to ruin you. use the 100m to make 1bn over the next 5-10 years and then buy the club you need some serious sea room to own a club these days as Newcastle United are finding out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Maroon Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If you won the 100 million to yourself, would you try to buy Romanov out? who say's he'd sell ? i'd only want the ground from him - i'd give him up to but no more than ?50M for it......That would include me renewing the main stand.

Seymour M Hersh Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Isn't it absolutely incredible that people think ?100,000,000 would not be enough to run a football club!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommythejambo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wouldn't waste it. Just think how quickly you could lose ?100,000,000 on a football club you loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm probably quite unusual. If for arguments sake I had enough. I would like to buy Vlad out and clear the debt. Give Hearts a clean slate, however, I would have no interest in running the club. Various reasons for that, however, I know to run Hearts as a business it would mean being very unpopular. I wouldn't really want and I don't have enough money to be an Abromovich figure. Not quite sure but I guess it could be set-up as a trust or something. Though I guess the danger that some fool would repeat the mistakes of the past. Roughly my thinking. I'd want to move to a continental style situation where the club is owned by the members who elect a board. Essentially your season ticket would include your membership or you could buy membership on it's own for a couple of hundred quid and get discounts when you pay as you go. Barcelona are the highest profile example of this approach but it can work at smaller clubs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troonjambo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 He'd want a hell of a lot more that ?100m for HMFC? Get real for heavens sake. you must be joking for a business with its best ever turnover of 10 million more likely 6-7m this year in a economy heading into recession and its only asset i.e the stadium becoming worth less each day as the property boom dissipates a playing staff who are virtually worthless running at a loss playing to dwindling crowds nobody can say what vlad would do but i bet you could by hearts for a hell of a lot less than 100 million btw the market capitalisation(value of all there shares ) today for celtic is 42 million pound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3inaBednar Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I am going to buy Hibs and totally asset strip them and build a superbrothel at ER Tick Tock now youpegsellers Brilliant - I would do that aswell, smash fester road down and build a car park on it where only maroon cars could park. i'd also erect a big statue of john robertson in the middle of the car park and call it Robbo's Car Park. The tickets from the parking meter would be maroon as would the parking attendants uniform. All the car park attendants would be called either john or zibbi. oh and aye i would buy Hearts and run them but would run it as a break even business, so no fancy players, just honest scottish/british players and the odd rousset.

h-e-a-r-t-s Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If I won I'd take a trip to Vegas, stick the ?100 million on 'Red', then (assuming I won) I'd offer Vlad ?125 million for Hearts. I'd then spend ?50 million on the new stand, ?15 million on new players, ?9 million on increased wages...leaving me ?1 million for a big fat maroon ferrari and the number plate 'Jambo 1'.

Though I guess the danger that some fool would repeat the mistakes of the past. I'd do the same, only I think I'd give the running of the club a bash. Run correctly, we should still be looking at a top 4 finish each year - our turnover each year is much larger than any other club outwith the Old Firm, allowing us in theory to have a much better squad. Of course, football isn't always that logical and things can go wrong against the odds, but I think its viable that the club could build towards being successful without spending big on players, if the debt was cleared.
