a call from Camelot.... what to do?

[MasGib]

OK. So its Saturday morning and you get a call from Camelot telling you that you’re the winner of the £150m jackpot.
1.Would you buy BWFC?
2.who would you get as the new manager?
3.what players would you buy?
Or would you just travel the world seeking out beautiful ladies and fast cars?

I don't think that the jackpot is ever anywhere near £150M is it?

Unless you are talking about one of them euromillions lottery jobs that has rolled over for the last decade or something and ends up being 120M euros or something...

Anyhow, 150M won't get you very far, especially if you don't want to blow the entire lot on BWFC, which I'm guessing most wouldn't.

Weren't we losing 25M a year? Plus the cost to buy it. Fund the recruitment of manager and players.

I'd say you'd have a year of fun before realising that either there is nowt left OR you can't even match the investment of Eddie Davies down the years.

I wouldn't give them a penny to be honest..

As soon as you do, your phone would be ringing every 10 minutes with the board cap in hand talking about "investing for the future"

Fvck that

[Lost Leopard Spot]

This thread should be in Other Stuff. It's hardly Trotters material is it?

MODS!

[BWFC_Insane]

If I had billions, e.g. enough to run the club "Abramovich style" though.....

I'd probably buy it, or try to at least.

If I bought it tomorrow, I'd go straight to that Cortese bloke at Southampton and ask him whether we could do a deal that would solve both clubs problems.

We'll take a manager from them that they want to sack desperately but need to justify it, and then they can get whichever foreign hotshot they want.

Jobs a good 'un!

If I won £150m I'd be about 3 times as rich as Deborah Meaden, so I'd replace her on Dragon's den. I'd then try and go halvsies on any ideas the other Dragons thought were worth investing in.

I'd also buy a drink in a pub with a £20 note and say 'keep the chance (I might add 'you filthy animal')' just because I could.

I might invest some of it into the club, but only if I could have a box for life and an occasional kick about in the reserves.

Also, Monkey/Robot butler, haven't decided which yet. What the hell, both, I've just won £150m I'll live a little.

Why? It's BWFC related isn't it?

£150 million wouldn't even scratch the surface in turning BWFC around.
Fast ladies and beautiful cars it is then.

[Little Green Man]

a call from Camelot.... what to do?

Tell them it's only a model.

[Harry Genshaw]

I wouldn't be putting any money into football. Some lazy feck on £20,000 a week. Nah. Might get a box at the Bok and perhaps a new shed, then save the rest for a rainy day.

[William the White]

£150 mill - seriously?

I'd have a box for friends and family...

I'd invest seriously in some way to the young player development programmes...

I'd like the club to invest in an honest way in African football and would try to facilitate that...

And

I hope football would be a pretty low priority...

i would 1. by bolton (dur)
2. sack owen coyle and replace him with adrian bothroyd
3. buy run of the mill former players that only i can see the real benefit in buying. (mooy, faye, meite). and loan players like knight and ream out to reading while offering to play their wages in the hope they relegate them (but in return i want federici and le fondre as free transfers)

[boltonboris]

BOOTHROYD!! FFS, there's 2 o's in it!

Also, stop sending me PM's. I have no interest in your ill-informed opinions in anything.

[bwfcdan94]

thank you for the advice on the spelling

[jaffka]

Not tell anyone that I had won and disappear on holiday for a fortnight why I decided what to do.

It would probably involve fast cars, helicopters and mucky women though.

I would go for mucky cars and fast women. That may keep me occupied for a couple of hours. I would then devote myself to travel and world peas. Perhaps a bit of spinach also.
