Euro Jackpot- How Would You Spend It?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hire a good accountant to place it as far away from grasping greedy governments as possible. ;)

 

So true!

Posted

Pay off mine and my my mates loans/debts.

Pay off any mortgages my dad owes.

Ask my parents where they would like a house in Leicestershire and any holiday homes and buy them, would also get my dad a sports car.

Give my brother a couple of million.

Get a one way ticket on the eurostar to Brussels, and travel around Belgium, Holland, France, Spian, Italy etc before moving onto Scandinavia. 

Ask any mates if they wanna do the same kind thing but in America.

Decide where I want to live and buy property/cars.

Set up a charity of some kind with my dad, and then just do whatever I like.

Buy out Beckford Wellens Danns and Gally's contracts  just to see what people would then moan about on the main forum. Think i would buy one house locally and had a shit hot football pitch flood lights and small stadium for my sunday league team, and then maybe try and sign beckford, wellens danns and gally for the team :D make my self happy and please about 80% of LCFC fans.

I'd move to Norfolk or Suffolk, live in a beautiful barn conversion and start my own antiques business, specialising in Art Deco pottery.

However, that would not make a dent in the lottery money....

So.... I'd buy a Penthouse in West London and have weekends there.

I'd also buy a new convertible BMW.

I'd pay off the mortgages of my closest friends and family.

However, the first thing I'd do is a three month cruise of the Caribbean whilst I dreamed about what else I could spend the money on.

I'd also donate a million to the RSPCA and another million to a Cancer charity.

Go on a Count of Monte Cristo style trail on revenge against anyone who's slightly wronged me.

Start with the ****d that took Due South off air.

I would start off in one of two ways. Either going all out like a madman and buy anything that takes my or my close associates intrest; probably blowing £20m in a week and probably being found dead a week later in any spot on this glorious earth, or (most likely) Id get a few things in to comfort me and bring me down to earth for a couple of weeks to a month to really think it all through.

 

On to the actual near inevitable purchases. I would scan the internets for some cool gadgets and goodies to play around with, would buy homes/pads all over the shop (2 USA, 1 Rio, 1 Hong Kong, 1 Tokyo, 1 Milan, 1 Bavairia, 1 France [Monte Carlo] and 3 across UK not including Friends and Familly inclusions), get a load of half decent cars and my own garage to do what I like to them, one showpiece car and about 5 that look inconspicuous but go like nothing else.

 

Would probably look into investing in myself and gain/pay for some major qualifications which enable to me to control my own major business whilst being able to travel around some countries like an ambassedor and others unknown.

 

Maybe look into gaining multiple indentities or running certain businesses through proxies (like my own porn studios to occasionally drop across to and check out). Whilst the clean businesses will invest in what needs to be done to go forward and actually try to help alot of people who need it.

 

Would of course invest in LCFC after I find out whats going on inside the club and if the money I would be put into the right places, I'd put in about £10m if it ment having a some future curcumstances and culminations. 

 

:D  C'mon world, y'know it makes sense. Gimme them monies

I can't believe anyone would invest in a football club.

 

Madness, if would infuriate you paying money to the overpaid bastards after watching them lose 3-0 at home to Millwall and you would probable end up in more debt than you were in the first place by the end of it.

lol

 

Actually yeah, buy a TV Network and revive all the good shows that got cancelled. Give Deadwood a fitting end etc.

 

On a similar note I found out something the other day. Fraser's dad in Due South did the voice of Babar the Elephant. MIND...BLOWN!

I think the main reason you wouldn't invest in a football club aside from the fact that it's not really an investment, it's more like throwing money into the sea, is that however good you were at it you'd have literally thousands of twats telling you're doing it wrong.

 

I'd probably just buy a few AK47s

Be fcking madness to buy Leicester even if it is £161 mill. You want a good way to chuck the best opportunity you'll ever get in your life down the pan that's one of the single best ways to do it.

Ha,many many years ago my mate and I were in Australia and wouldn't go out on the town until we had watched Due South as we hadn't seen these episodes in the UK.Pissed up around Sydney singing"there's four directions on this map,but you're only going one way.Duuuueeeee South"

Fond memories for me,not for the Aussies in close proximity !

I wouldn't call it an investment, I wouldn't expect to make money out of it.

 

But I've spent so much time in my life dreaming about City, hoping they would win things, but more so hoping I could, as a fan, go to a ground that I was proud to call our home. I think if I could afford to redo our stadium that would be right near the top of the list of things with my money. I mean how amazing would it be to leave a legacy like that to the club you've already invested so much money and passion in? They might even name a stand after me.

 

If I could make reality of what I always wanted to see and feel when I went down to the footy, that would give me far more pleasure than buying a bunch of material goods for myself or extravangantly blowing the cash countries I'm not really bothered about visiting.

You'd ruin yourself and I'd imagine someone would talk you out of it lol

Instead of buying city, why not try and take one of the real lesser teams (Quorn Oadby etc) and see how far you could get them up the league. Or start a new club completely, I know no heritage at all and a bit plastic but would be a right laugh, sign all sorts that would make you walk the division until you get into league 2 or something then flog it

 

Hinckley utd would be a good bet, you could get it on the cheap and change the club completely with a few million! Be like real life football manager

Posted

On investing in the club, you would have to set a certain ammount youre willing to put in and stick to it. Buying it outright would be ridiculous and you would be dealling with problems far bigger than what you thought.

 

Its also not a contest with people implying 'I would put in more money than you so Im a bigger fan', so I dont fully understand all the butthurt

Posted

50% would be put into a charitable trust and then I'd pay my daughters a good wage to administer it, I reckon if you've got that much money you'd have to give them some purpose in life.

 

£1million each to my sisters and the wife's sisters and to our parents. Build a mansion  to my own design somewhere, buy a villa in Spain and then travel the world a bit.

 

Edit; I'd also donate £10 to Foxestalk.

Giving a large chunk of cash to a major charity is nuts, they are way too inefficient.  If you have the time on your hands you would be much better funding smaller projects directly yourself.  And of course ensuring to take the tax benefits to free up more cash for Champagne.
