So how much money would you be happy to have.

 

So lets say on Friday your the only winner of the Euromillions draw at £50m

 

£10m to buy up shares and the costs involved in taking over the club

£30m to pay down the current £29m of debt & £1m to put towards a couple of free entry matches, for fans who have been to 5 or more home games this year.

 

Leaves £10m in your pocket

 

Rekon i could live on £10m, not so sure about the wife though

I would just pay off the debts and ask for a directors box for live and a place on the board. I wouldn’t want to own the club.

 

I would only pay the debts off though on the understanding that Poortvleet is removed.

 

I would also fund 3 or 4 loan signings- Leroy Lita, Dean Winda$$, a proper right back and a decent centre half.

 

So Here’s hoping I win the 50 million on Friday:)

Not sure I'd even buy up the shares to be honest. I'd just offer to pay all the debts off in exchange for the club being given to me.

 

havent i read somewhere that crouch said he'd give his away if someone came in to clear the debts.

I would give a few million and say to them, use it wisely and keep us in the league or you aint getting any more. So they could afford to let Saga play, get a decent centre back and a right back and we might have a chance of staying up. After that I would probably just give them money here and there. I wouldn't want to own the club as I would not have enough money to make a huge difference and it would be a waste of my hard earned £1.50 gamble. Also, I would ask for a home shirt as i have not got the new one.

ok for paying off the debt with £30m, i guess i should have said invest £30m in the club coffers

Wouldn't mind a rollover this week and next so that i can pick up the cool £70 mill

 

£20 mill would do me, and saints could have the 50 mill.

Maybe look for someone to invest some money with me and Bingo all our problems would be over.

If only it was that easy lol

I've often thought about this!

 

Out of 50mill I would sink 45 into saints, the entire board would need clearing out I would need to own the club outright, no other shareholds, no-one to interfere, just me, lets start afresh. I would pay off all debt (including early payment charges) and ensure that Saints wage budget is competitve at championship level. Sod transfer fees, that seems to be where we are loosing out.

 

Second thing I would do is install an employed Managing Director, not a Shareholder, an MD who would have to meet me once a fortnight to discuss all happenings within the club, and I would be sure that I could retain the final say in staff appointments, youth policy etc, although these meetings will allow me to see the reasoning behind all decisions. As owner though I would have full reign to use facilities visit training etc as I see fit.

 

The remaining 5 mill will see me happily living between Malta and the Uk

If I won £200 Million some how I would buy Pompey and then run it into the ground. I would hire the most incompetent manager available, hire the most useless squad and pay them not to score. And when Pompey were down in the Conference South i would lock the gates at Fratton and sell it to a property company for houses. Or just burn it down.

 

And to achieve all this I would hire Rupert Lowe as my chief advisor He has experience in this sort of thing.

How much ??

 

A lot. Look at the bloke who "invested" in Ipswich. 45 million already down the drain, plus whatever they spent last summer.Result they're still mid-table and losing money hand over fist. If you ain't got a billion don't bother to apply.

You'll end up with players richer than yourself who'll tell you to f**k off if they don't like what you have to say.

I do not believe that with the debt cleared Saints could not be a self sufficent club, the only problem would be the fans expectations.

 

With interest and the divi's paid to shareholders gone, that would free up a good wedge of cash for the football club to use.

 

20,000 adults through the gate at £20 a ticket raises £9.2m revenue, take 50% of that as wage budget for playing & coaching staff £4.6m, which can't be far off an acceptable budget for the championship

 

Obviously crude as adult ticket prices are higher and has not taken into account corporate packages, Tv revenue, sponsorship revenue.

 

But it has to be possible to run a club on a sensible budget in the championship without using massive debts or having a billionaire sugar daddy.

I would pay off the debts on the basis that Lowe and Wilde both sold all their shares, I'm sure I could then attract someone who would reunite the fans and be a good chairman, I would then give the club more money to play the players we currently have out on loan and a bit more for a few new signings. At the end of the season with relegation avoided I would give the club the rest and say buy who you need and make sure you get us moving up this league again towards the Premiership, with benefits for the fellow fans who have been to 5+ games this season

with the money i would invest in a box as close to the back of ruperts head as possible,a megaphone and a long stick with a plastic finger on the end,i would then proceed to shout obsenities at lowe for the entire game whilst pocking the back of his head with my long stick.

cost of box for the season £20k

cost of megaphone £40

cost of stick and finger £10

£49.88m left in the bank.....nice.

I would buy the whole club then

1st) set about sending letters saying quite simply FUC# RIGHT OFF to everyone who has backed Wilde or Lowe in the last 18 months

2nd) beg MLT to become my 2nd in command

3rd) beg WGS to return to MY CLUB in whatever role he wants

4th) meet all playing staff in person to explain new wage structure of only paid when they perform
