    Fat mans windfall

    Ok we all hate the Cnut
    But
    What is he gonna do with £300M ?
    Probably buy another club?
    Or shop?

    The man has more money than either he or his family will ever need

    Why the need for all the wheeler dealing? Is it just greed?
    If I had that much money I wouldn’t be working that’s for sure.

    though not the original intention no doubt it'll come in handy for bailing out his precious tat shops

    I would imagine he would need quite a lot of panic money to prop up Shyte Direct but at the same time he's always going to be an inveterate and compulsive gambler who cannot resist, by nature, a stupid punt on something big which takes his fancy. Calculated reasoning doesn't come into it so let's all hope he takes some silly plunge and loses his illgotten gains

    I think a lot of it is greed although I'm guessing making money in those quantities must be addictive too. Money makes money and I would imagine seeing those numbers go up and up would be quite the thrill. I suspect fatso will have half an eye on the businesses that aren't going to make it through the other side of this crisis in the hope that he can hoover them up on the cheap ready for when things pick up again.

    And wouldn't it be a gigantic chuckle if Shyte Direct was one of those businesses to go to the wall.

    I suspect that despite all the talk of buying another club - he won't.

    He's seen what a sink football can be, he won't be able to afford a prem club so it would have to be lower down where money reward for him would be minor.

    He'll use it to prop up Shyte Direct and make some other acquisition as companies struggle.

    As long as I never hear his name again unless its if he is declared bankrupt I don't care what he does with it as long as he is as miserable as he has made me for 13 yr.
