    How much would you be prepared to invest in SAFC? Would you want a place on the Board and a say in how your money was used? What would you want to change about our Club- if anything?

    I wouldn't put anything into the club, it would take a helluva lot more money than the euro millions win to seriously make a change.
    I would go on holiday for the rest of my life, go where I want when I want.

    You couldnt really do much with 135 million or whatever it is for SAFC but i would be tempted to buy Blyth Spartans and see how far i could take them up the leagues.

    Anyone seen the movie, the bucket list" that's what i'd do, make a list of everything i want to do, then go and do them.

    What a bunch of tight wads you are. Come on loosen the purse strings and put in a bid for Messi.
    I like the idea of taking over a non league team and bringing them through the pyramid system. Maybe it could be a feeder club for SAFC?
    Or how about making a daft bid to Mike Ashley for that lot up the road and then close it down? Not really needed is it as MA is well down that particular road.

    PRETEND?

    Do you mean to say that this ticket I bought today isnt the winning one?

    That lying ****ing bitch at the local newagents? Lol


    After shagging Cheryl Cole, after buying her as my WAG, for at least a year non stop on my new yacht, I'd 'invest' at least £50m of the £152m up for grabs and become a director at SAFC.


    Then I'd close all the message boards down for slagging me off. Lol

    I wouldn't put anything into the club, but I't buy a plane (learn how to fly first) and watch every match live.

    I was thinking about this the other day. I'd buy a £15m player & pay his wages for 3yrs. I wouldn't invest just make myself a legend among the fans.

    The truth is - and of course I've imagined.

    With £120m I would talk to Quinny about the social side of the club he is building up. Say, £20m would buy a lot of chances/hope for the kids up here.

    Straight answer.

    Definitely buy a hospitality box and fill it with real supporters instead of the prawn sandwich crowd.

    You would have to be mad to put a single penny into football, because it's not exactly a money making industry, is it?

    Unless someone takes the bull by the horns, world club football is going to be in deep **** within 5 years. I can see some very big and famous clubs going to the wall if FIFA do not act....

    ....and quickly!

    Although I'm a Sunderland fan and have no affiliation whatsoever to the following but id buy Bradford City football club. Languishing in league two, they've got a massive fan base and embarrassingly good crowds for league two, it must piss there fans right off seeing the likes of wigan in the prem and some of the clubs in the championship and league 1. You have to thnk with sensible investment they could find there way back the championship and if blackpool can get promoted anythings possible

    IM sure if I won 100million quid on euro millions, I could "donate" 20million or so to SAFC and never have to worry about the other 80 million running out ;)

    I would keep it all for myself as investing in football is a losing game

    I reckon there are more worthwhile charities than SAFC :)

    I'd establish a football club somewhere in Africa. Pour money into a continent - wide scouting network. Build the best Academy. Then nurture the next generation of Eto'os, Drogbas, Gyans, Sessegnons, Toures... Plenty of talent here, as you all know. I'd then regularly sell them off to European clubs for a profit.
    The thing is, there's such a passion for football that any well run club is guaranteed a MASSIVE following. We'd be selling out every home game, and there's TV revenue as well from a South African satellite broadcaster that screens the major leagues (Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, SA).
    I rekon I'd make some money eventually :p
