    Question What would you do....

    if you won the lotto? The other thread on the Limerick woman winning 115million Euro got me thinking about this. I think for starters I would buy Sligo Rovers F.C. And then I would also buy any great players, that were willing to come to the club. Also the usual, buy a big house and an expensive car
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    I would imagine with such money that substantial percentage of people here would buy their own club/help out their club...

    I can't personally think of what to do with that amount.....it's just incomprehensible..

    Nice problem though it would be..
    The Model Club

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    I would take a load of fellow Shels fans to the Steaua but i wouldn't buy the club,I'd much rather buy Bohs and put them out of Buisness and by doing that make myself a legend with Shels and Rovers fans as well as numerous other fans

    If I had €110 million then I would defintely give Shels something in the region of €10 - €15 million. Some for the new stadium so its built properly. I would insist on the new ground having a second tier !!! The rest of the money would be for players to get us into the group stages of the CL.

    I would have about €90-€95million bucks for myself. Nice house, a few holiday homes, a nice holiday and hmm.. dunno after that

    i'd buy a 115 million quids worth of marshmallows...

    meh.. proably buy houses for all my family, buy cork city fc, go on a big mad holiday, get ringside seats at wrestlemania.. see how much it would cost to get paul mccartney to play in my back garden...
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Id start by buying my parents house. Then a brand spanking new car for my dad. Id pay off the mortgage for my sis ( see Sylvo i can be nice ) and id buy a place for my other sis. I'd clear all my student loans plus those of all my close friends and family. I would make sure my Grandad was sorted, and I buy places for my uncles and aunty's and make sure they were comfotable.

    Most importantly Id pay for the best medical care in the workd for my aunty and Id make sure her family wanted for nothing, even if it cost me every penny id won.

    Then id have a party for all my family and friends.

    Id invest heavily in Marie Curie cancer care, Roy Castle Lung Cancer foundation, and the British heart foundation. id want to do something to be remembered by. then id get blind drunk and never work again

    I was going to say buy Ronaldinho for Shels but Anto has come up with a much, much better plan in fairness

    I don't have a clue. I couldn't even buy my own club as it's not a company as such though I'd like to invest something into the eL.

    I'd go buy the rights to the song working 9 to 5 by Dolly Partin. I'd then get in touch with Gaby Roslin to let her know that I am now rich and then I'd blow it all on crap!

    If I won that much I'd give at least half of it away. Sure you'd never get round to spending it all anyway.

    I'd make sure my close friends and family were all sorted. A million each I'd say and give some to various charities too.

    I'd get myself all the obvious things and probably get myself a UEFA agent license because after all the fuss died down and you'd finished your 200 holidays I reckon you'd need a hobby to stop yourself getting bored.

    I wouldn't have many players signed up though, just a handful to keep ticking over ala Jerry Maguire.

    I'd give some of it to Bray. I'd buy a big house in North Africa and another one somewhere in South America. Simple as that. And keep the rest for myself.

    I'd probably travel the world for about 4 years with about 7 friends and pay for it all. Then come home and settle down. I'd love to do that space travel thing that richard branson was on about too. I'd buy Turners Cross for Cork City and take them to the group stage of Champions league
