I do not know the first thing about sports, but I have always wanted to own a team.

Edit:Owning a sports team is a boring idea, I want to use my money to dick around with peoples lives now.

I am not starting an account to make one thread, not to mention people here talk sports all the time.

Why don't you ask the key people instead of asking the forums?

If I was in your position, I'd purchase a team with a rich history and passionate local fans. Then I'd move the team to a different city just for chuckles.

Then just buy a random Football team if you don't really care. I have no idea how much a soccer team costs, but if you but one, buy one from Europe. They play more games.

cant technically buy barcelona cos they're owned by the fans. buy ac milan. berlusconi just lost a lot of money which has made the club nervous and he's very unpopular.

If you want to make your money grow, you should consider investing it. After this financial mess starts to ease, stocks and bonds will skyrocket. I'm heartened by the fact that the Dollar is starting to make a comeback.

Send me your money, i will start a war with it.

Do you relize most sports teams are going to cost several hundard million and they are expensive to keep up.

If you really have alot of money, go talk to a finicaladviser, or an investor.

Its sounds like A. your lieing out of your ass, B. you have no clue what to do with money

Well you can always invest in a company, on a Good and legit one not something like "Advanced Technologies" or "Bio Med Transgenic Medications" I mean buy stocks from a known company, Nintendo, Microsoft, Facebook etc. You might even duplicate your amount in a couple of years. That^ or you can just go to a horse race and bet it.

Buy a mediocre English Premier League team like Bolton Wanderers and turn them into a powerhouse just to really annoy rival clubs

I think OP is full of crap, he is trolling...he might be wealthier than most kids on GP but I doubt he came into a few hundred million dollars needed to buy a team just for kicks.. however ill play along, buy a topo team and make them change their uniforms to pink.
