lancedeangers1 287 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I was having a chat which turned to a debate / argument with my wife following that Italian guy winning £127 million on the lottery at the weekend. The reason it developed into a debate was due to my revelations about investing a large chunk of money in Rangers ( if it was me that had won it ). Can you imagine one day being as you are in your normal life and the next day becoming potentially the owner of Rangers? Really got me thinking how dramatically your life could change and how much dreams could be fulfilled. Ok it may not be the best investment economically that you could make but honestly how many of you would consider investing in the club?, how much would you invest ? Or would you go the whole hog and buy the club out right ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbeamjunior 19,713 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 wouldnt buy the club unless i won something massive like the italian lottery winnings you mentioned but if i won say 30mill i'd happily go to murray the now and say, heres a 10mill donation, ON THE BASIS THAT SMITH GETS THE LOT TO BUY 2 CB's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteman81 1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 for every 10 million i won, i'd give them 1 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If I won £127m I would make sure my family saw a lot of it then I would buy a house with multiple game rooms. A pool table, a pinball machine, doughnut machine, mini fridge for all the beer, 50" widescreen tv, massage chair, dart board, foosball table... And I would pitch in with some £££ for Rangers.

lancedeangers1 287 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Be honest would anyone seek and enjoy the prestige and publicity of becoming the new owner ? Im not a fame seeker tbh, however it would be tempting to become the proud owner of Rangers fc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Imagine sitting in front of the telly and realising you had just won £127m. I think I would actually pass out and never wake up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancedeangers1 287 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 If someone like that just came in and paid off all of our debts, do you think it would make a significant difference in terms of bringing in a higher quality of player. Would we see a Laudrup or Gazza type signing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenDavis 112 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 First of all, I'd have a wank. What a wank that'd be. If I found out I had won £127 million, I'd probably ejaculate without wanking! I'd sort out family etc first then I'd look to see what I'd do with regards to rangers.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 OK first question what lottery was paying £127 million? If it's the Euro I thought it was only about £64 million jackpot. As for what I would do, well I wouldn't buy Rangers as it's still not enough money and you would have to earn money to keep the club running, in the current situation I would possibly buy shares directly of SDM as long as the monies spent was used to be a new defender and pay their wages for a couple of years.

Jeff crap in the head 120 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 No way id 'give' money to Rangers, you'd have to be mad. If it was invested wisely in other ventures and stocks alongside a share of Rangers, you could sustain your investment in to Rangers and have a say in matters. Anything else would be naive.

lancedeangers1 287 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I think it was an exclusively italian lottery but it was all over the news etc. Think he won 147 million euro's or so which equates to around 127 million pounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
