Would you buy Hartlepool United Football Club ?

Depends on your definition of multi- and a whole host of other stuff.

50 million lotto winner for example

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:47 pm

No chance for me.

alienlife · **Posted:** Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:51 pm

If I won the lottery no chance, if I had a huge income and string of successful businesses then it could be a different story.

Not for me.

yloop · **Posted:** Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:52 pm

No, I'd enjoy my life not invite stress.

yloop · **Posted:** Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:53 pm

And probably start a business that made money, not haemorrhaged it!

How do you become a millionaire?

Be a Billionaire then buy a football club.

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 10, 2013 9:23 pm

if it was 50 million or something, then i'd definitely look to invest.

if it was 100 million or more then yeah definitely.

PJPoolie · **Joined:** Wed Mar 06, 2013 6:28 pm **Posts:** 15342

I'd just support the club more, buy a box for life, sponsor kit and stuff.

Leave the running of the club to people who clearly know what they're doing like Uncle Ken and Russ Green

I would buy it, just to sack the gormless twats in charge now :snooty:

Yes maybe. I was thinking that.
1-Buy better players= Bigger wages
2-Buy a bigger ground to be a 15k stadium.
3-Would we fill it ?

Darlo used them 3 steps and look where they are now.

So that says alot Joe, so do we then have to consider ourselves a lower league team
who are happy with the odd play off spot and nowt else ? and the thrill of a trip to York
the highlight of our season ? Season ticket for sale.

Not a negative from me at all Joe, You said about Darlo and where they are now and agree.

More trouble than it would be worth, too many people wanting to pick faults from the sidelines

I agree Joe.
I have my ideas why and that's the region to do with that.

Would love to see Pools play at home in a sell out 15k all seater stadium
and would pay £400.00 snots no problem at all, its ambition I am shaking me head with Joe.
I would Love it me.

Who wouldn't Mouldy?

Seriously??

So ambition equates to winning the Euro Lottery. Funnily enough it's been my business plan for years.

Sat Lotto would be ok winning 100 mill on a rollover but I think I would buy Pools.. Only live Once and all that, I would fill a 15k stadium no problem.

You can't live a millionaires life style now without a minimum of about 20 million

WGAFF · **Joined:** Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:51 pm **Posts:** 282

just give them a 500k lump sum every time you think (as a fan) is necessary...

I'd buy you and would love being the evil chairman. Might even keep uncle ken on as my puppet. bbolt

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 9:48 am

I agree about just giving Pools half a million quid when then need it to buy players.

I also would commission a statue of Harold Hornsey to be put in the ground.

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 9:53 am

Actually sod it I would give the footy back to the fans and would buy all the season tickets and away tickets and give them to people of the town for nowt, that way we would get more people supporting there own club.

7,856 x 150 = £1,178,400.00

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 10:06 am

I'd have to have a hedge fund manager's income before I even entertained the idea (then dismissed it).

Warwick Hunt · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 10:19 am

Q) How do you make a small fortune from a football club?

A) Start with a large fortune.

parmo · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 12:43 pm

all I know is, if I were a rich man, I could think of better things to do than go "diddle diddle diddle diddle dum" all day long

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 2:33 pm

I can't wait for the day when an incarcerated paedo climbs up on top of the prison in protest, just so the newspaper headline can be "Fiddler on the roof".

If I did win Euromillions I wouldn't want to run the club as it would be too much chew, but I would build some things that would last in the long term like youth facilities, a bit like what Donny Rovers have got now.

born toulouse · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:09 pm

I am a multi-millionaire and I'm seriously considering buying Pools. I got a pm from a bloke called Voice of Reason and he says that if I buy Pools, put a million quid a year in and then scupper the club I'll be in tax-free clover for the rest of my days. There might be a catch but he seems convincing and I have to do something with all my cash. At the moment I'm just going diddle diddle dum all day and, as Parmo suggests, it gets a bit boring after a decade or so.

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:21 pm

Next time I get one of them nice emails from the Nigeria fellas I am going to redirect them to HUFC and they can invest there, Russ will gladly help moving there funs from war torn places as they seem to not be able to as their dad/brother/mothers money is hidden in a specific location.

GeoffN · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:42 pm

As a multi multi millionaire probably yes. If a bit less I would love to invest and get a place on the board.

GeoffN · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:43 pm

Sorry "invest" is probably the wrong word. "Donate" would be more like it!

Spender · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2013 6:30 pm

It's easy to fill a 15,000 seater stadium.

You sell 4800 season tickets at 100 snots, Morcambe bring 98 and the bobbies put in 9102 uniforms on double time in case of chew.

Not saying it's profitable like...........

I've never had a Nigerian e-mail. It's kind of devaluing.

me neither. I want one. No, two. I want two. Or maybe three

If you were a multi-millionaire ?
