......how would you invest it into The Albion?. Would you rather it went into creating a foundation of superb future proof facilities or on players salary's that would fast track us to the prem?. Or something else?

You can't have it all.

The former. Paying fat salary's is no guarantee of promotion success and SHOULD lead to sanctions soon anyway.

as someone has already recently spent money on stadium and training facilities, really only players to spend it on now, isnt there?

via a fat sponsorship deal to circumvent the FFP rules, buy a pub and pay millions for the name on the training kit.

If we had a pot of cash left to spend then yes.

I'm going to give the boring answer and say I wouldn't invest at all, because,

A. There are far more worthwhile things to put your spare millions towards, than a football club.

And B. we (the fans) seem to be largely ungrateful, spiteful, morons who are never happy, and would still moan about what I'd done, even if I did throw all my millions at it.

Very much agree with this! You would ultimately be throwing your money away!

Yes but if they score it how can it be missed?

I'd use it to try and buy equity in the club but I suspect shares wouldn't be "available".

TB's not daft - he wouldn't have invested so much in the club without acquiring equity at the same time - anyone who did would be mad!

I haven't got a clue hence the :facepalm:.

Ask this chap:-

Mike Small said:
Is Ashley Barnes strong? No.
Is he quick? No.
Can he go past people with skill? Definitely not.
Does he out jump central defenders in the air? No
Can he create space in the box? Yes.
Does he finish when he gets the chance? He misses far more than he scores.
Has he ever made the difference in any match? No - we have never get any points to look back and think 'thank God we've got Barnes in the side'.

Or ask those in the anti CMS camp that level the same argument at him.

And when the football league deem this to be unfair and imposes a transfer embargo on the club, or more of your money ends up being given to the likes of Millwall, you can go off and start a charitable foundation to aid the illiterate millions in Africa instead. Or something.

Depends how big the pot of cash is... If I had billions I'd give the Albion a few hundred million.

If I had millions then I don't think I'd bother wasting my cash on football as there's far better things to spend money on.
