It could be you!?

A bit of a fun and fantasy one, but the Euromillions draw on Friday currently has a jackpot of £92 million. If you were lucky enough to win this outright how much would you be willing to put in to our great club? and more importantly, do you think you would be allowed to by the missus?
Also, what would you want back from the club if you did invest say £50m?

92 million would not be enough for a take over and to fund new players so I am thinking I would by Joao Moutinho for his release clause fee rumoured to be around £18 million and maybe a new striker, top class I am thinking someone like David Villa and all I would ask for is box for life at the club, wherever that may be, and I would probably go all out to get Colleen Rooney as me bird to see that fat twat off.
Forgot to mention I would also buy Stanley Park and open it as a car park for an additional income.
I would give (yes, give) the biggest part - say £80 mil - to the club as long as they use it to either redevelop Goodison to the greatest stadium in the NorthWest or find a suitable location in the city and make it happen.
I know £80 mil doesn’t buy you a world class stadium but with that kind of money as a down payment something must be possible! And for redeveloping Goodison it might be enough for two stands and a Hotel tower. I’m not sure about the tower though.

I would give enough to buy 2 maybe 3 players but I would not want in on the board.
I know nothing about being a board member and I would not want to have any say on who was bought either.
Saying that, I would ask to see a list of transfer targets and make my preference known before signing any cheque.
Although £92million is a ridiculous sun of money, I would not feel comfortable putting most of it in as I would not be confident of receiving any return on my investment based on how the club has been run in the past.
I would defo open an Everton themed bar in the City Centre and one in my home town of Widnes. I would show Everton games past and present on dozens of 50inch plasmas and have it decorated with hundereds of pictures of Everton teams, players and memorable moments from past and present. I would also hold sportsmans dinners once per month and have ex-players attend.
I would ban the colour red from the premises and I would open early every weekend to allow those travelling to away games to endulge in complimentry drinks and a full English breakfast before they head off to the game, providing they show their match ticket on entry (To avoid smackheads turning up).
Also, for when the Shite were playing at a different time to us on TV, I would hand out scarves and put banners up in the crsts and colours of whatever team The Shite were playing against in a kind of ’Anti-Shite’ promotion. I would not serve Carlsberg on the premises.
As I am in the music industry, I would enlist the help of a local recording studio and allow a selection of supporters to record a demo of our songs and anti-Shite songs and play them on match days to enhance the ambience and ’Pub match’ experience.
Oh, I can but dream of this!!!!!
I am sure you lot would pay me a visit and one last thing, I would have free internet around the pub so we could all get out TOFFEEWEB fix whilst we were there. (No Pornotube or Redtube though please).

I could happily take care of my family in all areas with £12m... I?d happily GIVE the rest to the Blues with the proviso that my sons and I had a box, or area to sit, either at Goodison or wherever any new ground might be FOR LIFE.... and access to the lounges... and the chance for my sons to meet the players..that?d do for me!!
Just wish I could put the clock back twenty years and win the cash then...... because then I?d negotiate just one subs appearance for myself so I could run on and know what it felt like... I could happily snuff it then *L*

I would create a new record label and have our players record ’if you know your history’ with the proceeds going to fund new players. We have more chance of winning Top of the Pops at least. COYB
I’d salt about £12m away and plough the rest into EFC. The sole proviso being that a small plot in the Street End penalty area be reserved for my ashes. Expect the funeral to be the first home game after my missus found out.
It’s easy for everyone to say hypothetically how much they would give away. I believe however, that if you were really in that position, you may be inclined to change your minds. NOBODY just ’gives’ vast amounts of money away to a private company. EVERYBODY wants something in return. Charity is different of course, but that is something that EFC is not.
Me? - I’d buy some shares, buy an executive box, take care of me and my own, and donate a load to a worthwhile charity.

What a load of bollocks. Agree with you Lee. How easy it is to give away what you ain’t got. St Lyndon and the rest ...get real.
p.s. I’d buy Lyndon’s wife a halo to match his.

So, to be honest, I?d plough almost all of it into Everton and wouldn?t expect or want any of it back of it provided the club with the ability to fund the right kind of stadium in Liverpool.
48 hours ago, I might have said I?d buy Kenwright out if I had that kind of money but the lunacy that?s going on down the M62 at Eastlands has completely changed the way we have to think about money in the Premier League from now on!
