....would you invest in BWFC and if so, would you give Coyle £20m for Sturridge?

If not, who would you buy......

I may buy a season ticket. I could park my helicopter on the Middlebrook car park.

I reckon I could buy BWFC out for £100m

Money well spent

I think you could buy it for a damn site less. But I still wouldn't.

I'd invest some money. But then I'd also be significantly richer than Deborah Meaden. So I'd replace her on Dragon's den, and then just try and go halfsies with the other Dragons when they think something is good.

Let me guess.

You'd sack Petrov and make Gretar captain? :wink:

I'd let Owen make the decisions 8)

BUT I'd tell him that he can have whatever he wants for a new back four

I'd happily hand over the £20M needed to buy Sturridge, and the £4M needed to buy SWP, as well as the £10M or so we'd need to sign a half-decent Cahill replacement. But buying the club, and having my money slowly siphoned away by wages and everything else? Nah. I'd be the kindred-spirit-favourite-uncle benefactor who every so often drops a few million into the transfer pot to help things along.

Oh - I'd be able to go to QPR away.

Bollocks to that. I might be tempted to buy Scott's so I didn't have to queue though.

Will you be putting on some decent ale as part of the new regime?

Total aside, but its a slow day so i dont think anyone will mind :D , does anyone reckon Bolton would get bought out by some rich oil merchant in the near-ish future (next 25 year like) ?? Stranger things have happened, see Getafe and Malaga in LaLiga.

The only people that'd be even considering buying us would be someone like the chicken farmers up at Blackburn. Let's be honest were not gonna make anyone any cash so they'd either need to know nothing about football or love the club regardless. Personally wouldn't swap having local, Bolton fan ownership with Blackburn for the world.

Anyone buying sturridge? I didn't win a penny.

Id go wild on beer and kebabs, football wouldnt even come into it Id just go mental for about six days. Then Id think about Wanderers and think more about going watching them home and away all season rather than give any of my money to the Barclays Premier League club for players etc.
