Seen as though this is the 5th consecutive year on making a profit and i can imagine the next couple of years will be the same, in 10 years time how and where would you like the profits from the last couple of years go to? Youth academy etc?

Also if you ever inherited a large amount of money, in other words winning the lotto, would you 'buy' Hull?

Academy doing well and we are bringing youth through.

Yes i would but keep the current staff on as they are the top dogs at the moment in S/L.......call them all you like but they deliver off the pitch.

good question btw

no, its too complicated to own a club for me, wouldn't have a clue about the finances etc, and though there would be experts brought in to key positions i wouldnt like all the hassle that goes with it. the only way i would invest lottery winnings in them would be if they were ever in danger of liquidation. there's a big difference between saving a club and owning one

I would

However I would not attempt to run it, I would just want to get dolled up and lead them out at Wembley, and also come on here and use plenty of

i would rather buy rovers then close them down

I have thought about that, but worry my heels would get stuck in the turf.

I'd quite like to have a go at running it, we'd have the fittest squad in the comp, definitely. I could invite you and Karen to inspect the changing rooms after training.

youll have to get in there quick cause they wont exist in a couple of years

same here, I think there would be too much pressure for me to enjoy games I feel. A run of bad results and the fans would be kicking off, demanding you sack the coach etc I also would only buy them if they were in danger of going bust, or losing their SL license etc

I'm not even sure I'd get a box or a padded seat if I won the lottery either, rugby just woulden't be the same without being sat with fans giving the ref grief all game, i doubt you get that in the corporate seats!

Not sure about the lottery investment it would be buying a load of aggro. when things go wrong which at some point they are bound to.

As regards the current profits a decent chunk should be paid over to the directors/investors as a return on their investment and a reward for their loyalty and rescuing us from extinction all those years ago.

I reckon we could fulfil that role

If you owned the club you could get a sheet printed and order them to shout periodically

"Gerem onside"
"Forward"
"You don't know what you're doing!"

I'd love to see all the sponsors stood up in west stand singing the old version of "Oh what a referee!"

Here's what I'd do, give them £2-4m depending on the size of the win (in installments). But stay just as a fan with the occasional meeting with the board and the accountants like a silent partner lets say. Free admission is obvious but that would limited to me and immediate family.

What about just paying something like 500k a season to have your name as the main sponsor

Only problem I see in that is it is too public.

Or you could set up your own business, albeit a very small one, but sponsor the club under the business name

say something like

Shoot The Robins

i think it would be more worthwhile to chip in now and again to lay on things like free bus travel to certain away games, or reducing admission for a cup game and footing the bill

I think I would spent considerable amounts on getting coaches into schools in the area and get more people playing which in turn will result in a better youth squad. And hopefully more interest for the game. With the way the salary cap and home grown players rule its probably the best way in the long run.

I would also invest in the bar in the ground.

Similarly, I would open a big marquee in East Park, say 3000 capacity and fill it with a bar and only open it pre-match, big screen too with highlights from other games. If possible, I would also try and get a pitch put down in that green area which would have either the reserves or a local amateur team playing, would be amazing if one side of this marquee was clear so you can drink and watch.

At least you'd have alot of spare cash

If I was one of those that just won 56 million on the euro lottery I would definately invest, though not to own or run the club, just as a gift. There would be stipulations that it must be invested on players and I would expect free entrance for the rest of my life!

But then again not sure how this would work with the salary cap rules and all

I was one of the "Lucky Euro " winners from Friday,getting 2 lucky stars and 2 numbers.I invested my cash in a Ticket for Wrexham and Im just going to Blow the rest on a bottle of Bubbly.
Will have to put the rest to though. Can you believe the price of Tizer nowadays.

Same way Joel Clinton is getting paid at Rovers.

VSO?

He's getting paid? does that mean he's here?
