If you was a Rich man with Billions , which club would you buy

I'd prefer to buy a golf club, I'd buy my old place and install an actual greenkeeper, I'd try to put a clause in that all current members kept the same annual fees (plus the usual 5% increase)!

For a football club I'd buy Cardiff be an instant hero by giving the team their blue shirts back and not looking like comedy Bond villain!
 
Then all you need to do is find another 1000 yards to get it up to a decent length :thup:

Dont be fooled by the yardage , ever played it of the back in the Bournemouth open , i put in a few deep bunkers here and there , ldont need to be long to be tough , seen many an away golfer with a fancy handicap think it were short and not break 80, as for the 1000 yards , 6th could go back a wee bit , 14th a wee bit both ends and thats it really , get it up to 6000

I'd buy my local muni's which the council are deliberately allowing to go to rack and ruin [to sell off to developers]... Then I'd restore them back to their former glory and hand them back to the people...
 
I'd buy Coventry City and the Ricoh Arena, close the club and move Coventry Speedway into the stadium
Why buy the club if you just want the arena? The club are in Northampton anyway so it's not like they have any exclusivity on the Ricoh. Plus The Bees should always be in Brandon, it's their home.

Talk about "rattling around like peas in a drum".

A speedway "crowd" in the Ricoh! You wouldn't know they were there if it were not for the bikes.
 
Would buy Wimbledon and get them back at Plough Lane. They'd be cheap so I'd also look at Newcastle. Great and loyal fans who've been mucked around something chronic with the off field shenanigans over the year. They deserve a world class team. As for golf, I'd love a Centurion and Queenswood in my portfolio. I'd also but a nice US country club. Nothing too fancy, just something I could run day to day as a business to keep my brain occupied
 
I'd go into partnership with Steve Gibson at Middlesbrough. I think he's a fantastic chairman, and I'd leave him to continue in that position. All I'd want to do is plough loads of cash into the Boro.
