What would you spend £88m on?

If you won 88mil, the taxman would have at least a third of it away before you saw as much as 1p.
After all duties, SHOULD you decide to take the lesser-amount lump sum (as opposed to a yearly allowance of it that would amount to about 6 mil p.a.) you probably wouldn't even be left with the 50mil to put in the bank.

Isn't it tax free !!

You'd get taxed on the interest of course, but I could handle that :D

£88 million will buy something like 4,400,000 tickets to watch the Albion. That's the home end full at Withdean for 550 games (or 22 years). At the very least, it would be FUN to do a deal with the Club that guaranteed FREE ADMISSION to Albion supporters for every season between now and, say, three years after we start playing at Falmer.

That would at least shut up most of the moaners. And fill the ground.

Terms and conditions apply.

There is a fatal flaw in this plan









You forgot to guarantee the supply of forks.

:jester:

Me, I would spend the 88mil on giving the children of Mile oak free transport to Falmer.

I would probably spend a large amount on gold. (not chavvy sovereigns - bullion). It is much safer against inflation than flat money, if you wanted it as a short term investment then the state of the dollar at the moment would guarantee you would get a good return if you sold almost immediatley. Or you could hang on to it for a long time and take a chance at getting even richer (if you required more than 88m!)

Gold is the foundatioon of all financial systems and a value increase is guaranteed.

Gold for me please!
