Title: Euro Millions
Post by: magicroundabout on Friday, April 8, 2005, 12:47:41
Reported jackpot of £43m.

If you was to win this how much would you give to STFC???

I would put £10m in.
£5m upfront and another £5m gathering interest for them.

No way not that much.  Pay off the tax bills, maybe invest in the new stadium and maybe a bit extra but that's about it.  I don't want my good money being thrown after bad.

Calne Town and Hibs would receive a generous donation too.

Very little if anything i would think!  I can think of much better things to spend that amount of money on!  

Now if i was to somehow become a mega-millionaire like Jack Walker or Roman then i would buy the club outright and make us the best club in the world!

I find it hard to believe that you'd give a quarter of your wealth to a football club Magic.

but why not???
43m is a massive amount of money and have always said if i had it i would help out.
hence the £20 each month to the trust.

so leaving me with £33m would be more than enough

After dishing out the money to friends and family I don't think I could then give £10m to a footie club, for some muppet to decide what to do with it.  I think I'd rather invest it in something more stable and create a legacy for all the future Janaage's to enjoy.

but SSW has for many a year and still continues to do so.

i don't see the difference if i was to put £10m in.

I think it is admirable if you wanted to do that!  Personally i would spend it on more important things and like JA invest the money for mini-titch's!

I'd put in a couple of million I reckon, although I'd make sure I was in control of what it went on.

aside from the fact that's not actually true (FK rejected a recent takeover bid), i wouldn't want the hassle of running a football club.

Being as the question was how much would you give to STFC, I would bite your hand off at that offer OF.

Thankyou, that is a remarkable display of generousity, and also quite a display of bridge building between supporters of STFC and OUFC.

Take a bow OF.

Ah, I see you have found refuge in a bargain basement insult.

Give us your money, all of it, you know you want to.
