IF you had the money to buy out Tan ?

Mon Jul 14, 2014 3:25 pm

Seen this on the other board and to be honest I've done this in dream land in my head. If you became a billionaire and had the money to buy out the Malaysian, what would you do and in what order would you do it all in ?

Obviously it's extremely unrealistic but we all like to have our opinions on how we'd like our club to be ran so I think it's an interesting topic. :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

If a dream came reality and I had his money,first the club is really worth nil because of the obscene debt he has run up, so I would not want to pay anything for the club , I would be bidding him on how much he was willing to lose on the debt.

Buy him outright, pay the debt.
Redesign the front of the stadium and have a striped red/blue kit. (I like the red and I liked the blue).

Trust OGS for promotion and fund him if he gains promotion appropriately.

Also kick St Johns out of the stadium and Letherby & Christopher and bring in decent companies.

Our club in reality is worthless because it is saddled with so much debt.

This and then I would hire a private jet and f**k off somewhere hot like Greece and buy my own island.

Pay off the debt, or a substantial chunk of it
Return to blue with traditional badge
Fund moves for players who will get us up
Create links with clubs from abroad with a bigger reputation (Athletico, Milan, Santos, Benfica ect.) most likely as a feeder club
Keep OGS in charge and strengthen the link with Man Utd
Bring down drinks/food prices significantly, and raise the quality (stop watering down the booze!)
Change the new stand from the Ayatollah to blue seats with a big bluebird
Invest heavily in youth recruitment and development (soccer schools, academies ect)
Market the club to the people of Wales BEFORE marketing elsewhere
Create stronger links with the FAW and make CCS the home of Welsh football (taking away from the millennium and liberty)
Get rid of SH

There's more but I think everyone gets the idea!! :lol:

That's pretty much everything I've dreamed of!

I'd create a constitution for the club that enshrines a 20% fan ownership and representation on the board, democratically facilitated through the Trust and that NO future majority stakeholder can fiddle with the Core identity of our great club, colour and badge will remain blue and a bluebird for ever.

That makes me feel much better :D
