There was an option to have no injuries or remain unbeaten no matter what side you put out I can't remember now to be honest. I just remember taking random stands from different stadiums and mashing them together to create an absolute monstrosity! I do remember the most expensive player on that was Zidane who was worth about £44,000,000 I think. How times have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 When I win the lottery, £100 million, I will buy Widnes. Then get them back to Superleague, bring in great players, win the Grand Final five years on the trot, then retire as an absolute legend, whilst securing the club's future. Just a matter of time.

Retire as an absolute legend with no money left, then watch the club do the usual thing in professional sport and spunk the remaining money away on expensive imports who stay for a year or three before leaving?

Gav Wilson Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 First thing I would do is get on to John Bastian and tell him to name his salary, then I'd task him with completing the player pathway from the under 8s in the community game right up to the York City Knights first team. The Knights have already started with their EXCEL ETP program, so the promising groundwork is already done. I would task him to get in touch with all the York born players currently in Super League academies and ask them to come to York and play for our newly formed Cat 1 academy - there are quite a few from Heworth and I'm sure more from York Acorn. I'd offer contracts to Greg Minikin, Alex Foster and Tom Lineham too. I would them employ at least 2 full time development officers to work with said academy, and continue the incredible work already carried out by the Knights Foundation, and branch that out right across North Yorkshire. It's no coincidence that the most successful clubs in Super League (Saints, Wigan & Leeds) are built off the back of the strongest academies! If we were talking Euromillions I would then buy a 50% stake in the brand new LNER stadium, hand James Ford a new long term contract, and offer all the existing 2020 squad a full time contract and run a hybrid squad for those that wanted a good crack One can dream... @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money left! This is RL after all. So, six seasons say £5M a season. Loads left! Put another £20M in a trust, to keep the club going. It's all about creating memories for this generation of fans. I'm a caring legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M j M Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Obviously it depends how much I won but I'd be open to putting some money in to buying the properties behind and building that fourth stand at Headingley's western end because I'm fed up of people complaining they get sunburnt out in the open over there. After that if I'd got any left for RL matters I'd probably think about what to do to help get the Bulls back up to the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i would call the nightclub "Paradise Island" or some other exotic name purely for the attention the name would get in Oldham and attract people first of all because of its name.

He wont be on mega bucks now. IMO he will become available in the next year. Add to the foundation staff to create the Pathways and use Bastion as the other DO.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Can I pay off the Sky team of McDermott, O’Connor, Cummings, Carney and Clarke with the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUBRATS Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I'd purchase investments ( properties ) and use the revenue to ' purchase ' 1 home game per season , this game would then be free to attend , I'd then pay to market this game to the town's population with the target to fill the LSV for this one game every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireBull Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Bradford Bulls ofc. Build a 12,000 capacity stadium with 3g (hybrid) so it can be used around the clock be the whole area to develop coaches refs and anyone else to do with rugby league. Implement a constitution which makes the club responsible for the growth of the game in Bradford, the UK and the wider world. Point blank refuse to subsidise the playing budget so the club has to be self sustaining. Have a flat £150 season ticket to anyone over 18 and each season ticket sold gets 1 kid free entry for the first couple of years.. Aim to sell 3,000 season tickets in championship but push for more for a crowd average of 6000 (including the free children). Plus some sponsors now the club isn't a basket case. So look for turnover of £575,000. 60% of TO on Playing budget for a budget of £345,000 a year. Refuse to sign any aussies and put a rule into place that 12 of the 17 in the matchday squad have to be from the academy which will be the focus to rebuild the game and club. After a few seasons of being beaten by teams with massive budgets, finally get back into Superleague, keep the season tickets flat first year back and kids around 50 quid. Aim for 10,000 average attendance but budget for 6000 season tickets sold at £150 . Look for turnover including tv funding to be around £3.5 million . Keep the 60% turnover rule/ academy rule to ultimately have a bulls team who consistently are near capacity every game, whilst being outside play-off contenders, full of home grown players. Yearly pre season tours of developing nations to grow the game (Nigeria, Jamaica) and try to offer some positions or exchanges with coaches in these countries at the bulls so they can go back to build the game. Ask SL (when it is a 15 team league) to be allowed to play an invitational game at Magic to play a national team from a developing nation. Have a widely respected club known for it's financial sustainability, great youth system, community work but eventually be hated a section of fans who want me to buy the league. Something like that I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headtackle Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Given Jamaica's success recently the Caribbean looks ripe for development As a lottery winner would probably need to find a nice little tax haven so British Virgin Islands RL or Nevis probably would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Having seen the big features on St Helens as a town and how it has the highest rates of suicide in the UK in the news earlier this year, I think the things I would do if I had billions and bought Saints would be to do with the town under the name of the club rather than anything at the club, as on and off the pitch, we’re in a good place. Getting young people and adults into employment and education, educating children on important things (health, cooking, how to find work etc), places for people suffering to go and feel safe and comfortable and the regeneration of the town centre are all vital to the town and to Saints as a club.
