Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
If you had enough cash, would you invest in the Albion ?

How much is "enough" cash?
At the moment it isn't a wise investment as the club runs at a loss and will always do so until we get our stadium.
If I was very wealthy and could afford to piss money up the wall then there are far worse ways of doing so than splashing some cash on my beloved Albion, but being as any investment won't necessarily give you any more influence into club affairs who's to say where that money would go?
I want the club to have the best possible chance of defeating LDC and all the anti's when it comes to Falmer, but I believe they already have the best people on the case as it is and unless there is another delay after the next "final decision" they're only going to need money to pay back what has already been spent on the lengthy battles we've endured thus far.
So that's Falmer covered, but could you honestly give the club money with the proviso it only be spent on players and wages (rather like the Coke money)?
Maybe if you spent a fortune on the academy which is already in a fairly healthy state as it is, you could really see the best use of the cash. This is the most likely successful investment opportunity I can see. Pump enough money into the youth setup and it will hopefully eventually pay off as valuable players are produced bringing the club both success and future income.
But I don't think I could just hand the board a few million and say "hope this helps"

As soon as it's a YES vote and LDC f*** off and die, I'd like to see us fans given the opportunity to buy real shares in the Albion. I think the fans deserve it.

If I was a multibillionaire, I'd happily invest a lot of money in the Albion.
I'd sort out Falmer, finance a top quality training ground and youth academy, lower ticket prices, give the manager (who may or may not be a fresh face that I bring in) a hefty transfer budget and try and involve the fans in everything to do with the club as much as possible.
Oh, and I'd get better quality fast food vans at the ground, perhaps even burgers freshly made by a large team of gourmets chefs

of course , why do you think i do the massive euromillions for?
i'd buy the ground outright (meaning the club don't have to get a loan for it/against it) and pay off the debt

I am with bluejuice, would rather give money towards something specific, whether that be the new ground or improving training facilities and the youth academy. I think that would be far more productive, in the long run, than just spending a large sum on expensive players and their wages. Far better to take a long term view and help provide foundations on which the club can build on, strengthen and move forward.
However, it all academic, in real terms I am potless.

If i won say, 5mil on the lottery, i would give the Albion 1 mil in return for a lifetime membership on the board!
