Charlie-Brown Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yes but i wouldn't WASTE all my money on over-priced footballers - I'd sign and play mostly local born players either brought through the academy or brought in at fairly low cost or no cost from other Scottish clubs.

chester copperpot Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yes, I'm a man of modest living, not that motivated by money, so would keep aside ?70M to delve up between my family and friends, keep ?10M for me and the missus, then use the ?60M left to buy out Romanov, get the club back into black, then leave a bank balance of about 10M to keep in the bank to secure our long term future. All I would ask the club in return is that I received a table for 10 for every home game in hospitality, and the rest I would leave to the board. I would effectively give the club back to the fans, and would appoint my own board who would have full autonomy over running the club, at this point I would butt out and leave the decisions for the professionals. The board would consist of Gary McKay, Leslie Deans, a couple of fan selected finance directors and Le Chat as chairman. Never a more passionate Hearts person you could meet. I'd also give the Website running to Dexter, the commercial side to Walter Kidd and all the other prominent roles would be voted for by you, the fans. I would cut off my commitment at this point, so that if any major tits up things happened, I'd not have to put any more of my money into, I reckon that would please the fans.

Victorian Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 this never ceases to make me so are you telling me that if you won ?150M on the euromillions, you couldn't set aside half of that to buy out hearts and invest a massive sum in the club? even ?120M to be honest. how much money do you need to keep for yourself? i would definitely set aside at least ?120M to buy and invest in the club. but i would be picking the team sometimes always.

Ecce Romanov Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 How ever much it is probably best to not invest unless you are willing to lose it. Once you've set aside enough ? for family/friends/charities, then invest the rest. ?70m would be more than enough. Then we could move to the EPL!

If you had ?140m (I actually think it's ?155m now) you could buy HMFC, stomp all over the league and still have ?100m left over. I would also buy Sir Dave Murray's original legs and parade them up and down the pitch before every Rangers game. He's that skint, guaranteed to sell them. I'd probably also make them into one of those clapping hats or do a Jake The Peg skit at half-time...to the shrill sounds of a flute band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
