    Travel the World and the Seven Seas.

    Buy a flat in Edinburgh for me to stay in for games.

    Centre stand seats for me and my family.

    Possibly fund big screens / some sort of youth development fund.

    If you were to buy Hibs, would anyone register themselves as a player and insist on getting a game? I’m sure that happened in England.

    Had an argument with the wife about this. I said I'd upgrade East Mains (full size indoor pitch etc) and throw a few million into the transfer budget. If looks could kill.

    Might as well, I'm 50, fat and have always been completely useless at football. I'd fit right in!!!

    Most people find it really hard to conceptualise really large amounts of money.

    Just tell the wife you ‘only’ won £15m and she would be over the moon.

    Blow the rest on Hibs.

    I think I'd probably chuck 20 million at the club as a donation with the only requirement being 2 x plush ST for life and let them get on with spending the money as the incumbents see fit.

    Bollocks would I be getting involved in the day-to-day machinations of running a football club with every Tom, Dick and Harry having an opinion on how they'd do a better job of it than you are or ever possibly could.

    Get the corners filled.
    Good idea in theory, but realistically how often would we fill them up

    If he's also adding 20M to the playing budget, I'd imagine we'd fill them quite a lot.

    Id give free season tickets to supporters who support the team at games rather than moaning at our own players and contributing nothing to a positive atmosphere.

    I would definitely put something in. I would have to think about the amount, for as much as I love the club, there are more pressing needs in society than football.

    I'd be able to afford the Hibs tartan travel rug and might even extend myself to the oven gloves.

    I’d pay Hibs to ban the guy that sits behind me. Pain in the bloody arse.

    Absolutely. Donation of £Xmillion for the club to do as they wish, but I get to register as a player, train for a few months and then get 45 minutes in a meaningless end of season game (after we've won the league) That and season tickets for life would be my 2 requests.

    I've always said if I win it that I would be "going away with work for a few weeks" before telling anyone , including my family.

    The flaw in your plan is that you’ve told people your plan.

    I’d set a limit of £10.00 million for Hibs.

    Centre stand season tickets for me and my mates for life, fund One off infrastructure projects/ upgrade of facilities and keep as low a profile as possible. No ambition to become part of the social media coconut shy.

    Would probably have a contingency to bail us out the next time our finances head south.

    Apart from that I’d make sure my family were all financially secure for life and buy a wee place in Italy. Would keep working at least part time and donate lots of money to charity. Probably would try to keep it as low key as possible as I think people’s attitude to you would change.

    I had said that the other day about donating to charity. Once your were done buying bits of property (which still have a value in themselves so the money isn’t “gone” as such) and seeing people right I think I’d struggle to blast more than a couple of million. And even then I’d have to try to do it.

    id be willing to put £25m in, as long as i was assured none of it would go to other shareholders and all of it was spent on the club.

    With it, id insist we built the ladies a purpose built stadium, if their is enough room, up at east mains, maybe a 5,000 seater?

    Id be willing for some more to be spent on other infrastructure, but id want a marquee signing or two to boost the fans

    Then my wife would say "**** that, they are getting nowt"

    Yeah fair enough. With only £127m to get by on, your wife would be really struggling.



    As I said above, most people have zero conception of really large amounts of money. It would be far better for 150 people to win £1m each than one person win £150m, unless they could actually do some good with the money.

    The Mrs isn't into football (although her family are all Jambos), so doesn't have an attachment.

    If we won that money and my wife turned to me and said, oh im taking £25m and im putting into something you have no interest in and we won't get it a penny of it back.

    Wether i had £127m left or not id probably be questioning just spending that type of money with nothing to show for it.

    So I kinda understand were folk are coming from.

    Worse case scenario is she might say put the same in to Hearts, which would put me off.......

    My wife and I have these debates quite a lot and to put it simply, there is nothing she cares about as much as I care about Hibs. Or in other words, she doesn’t have something she would want to put £25m in to.

    I don’t think I would put as much in as that though.

    Buy land Near East mains and build a purpose made stadium any proceeds from Easter Road to strengthen the playing squad also think it’s an advantage having stadium and training centre together

    You’d be the most hated Hibs fan ever if you did that.
