To think an Oldham fan could win so much and then do nothing. Thanks id put a lot into tackling homelessness and mental health as well funding research into every cancer going then I’d get a Caribbean island and a Russian ballet dancer - unless Aliona who used to be on strictly became available I wouldn’t buy and fund a shit loss making business - and no one in their right mind would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt run a football club but I could afford to get the ball rolling and start by removing the clowns, then fans trusts, other investors to get involved.

A serious money launderer would generally see getting 60-70% of dirty money seen as clean as being a decent result. My guess is that the percentage involved via ownership of a lower league club would be a lot less than that unless someone got lucky finding a buyer with even more grubby cash I can't see tha the degree of public scrutiny that applies to owning a football club would make it an attractive option at all.

You'd spend some money on the team, but the majority would be spent on making the club self-efficient. Buy the north stand for the club and get it making money 24/7. Make the whole matchday experience better, so people are turning up hours before and staying for hours after, spending cash. Splash the cash initially, but there's so many ways the club could be making money now, but the owners just don't have the finance (or forethought) to put that sort of structure in place..

I wasn't thinking of the initial purchase/sale, more the day to day running of a club. They all loose money but there must be huge potential for laundering given who monitors attendances for instance, transfer/agents fees, expenses. I see the administrators at Derby have found a £15 million loan from some US company that now holds a charge against the ground. As we all keep saying there must be something that attracts a very specific type of character to owning a football club but none of us can seem to identify what it is.
