JMG!
Don't worry. 98.5% of those who take the internet way too seriously can't see any of this.
So let's talk about the football.
What would YOU do with £80m in today's transfer market?

Depends who you are buying for doesnt it ?
If you're buying for Real Madrid, then it's pointless spending less than £20m on any individual.
If you're buying for the Toons assault on the Championship then £80m ought to buy you a whole squad plus pay 10 or 20 m off your debts.
If I were spunking the lot on one player, Messi.

Transfer it all into my named Swiss account,
then pay it from there into my numbered accounts.
Then move some through Lichtenstein and the BV islands.
Once it had undergone some bearer bond transformations, and filtered through some umbrella companies I would use it to buy up small team stadiums, thus hopefully thwarting the growth of up and coming players, leaving the cream of the shit to be promoted to the big teams.
With the low standard the hardcore fans would beat each other to death in rage, and the not-so-hardcore would simply get bored. This would allow the gradual decline of the big game and the seriousness that goes with it.
From the money I make speculating against teams shares I would finance a campaign across all remaining football grounds that states 'and Lager is shit too, you fucking thugs'.
I'm not really a football fan. But I do enjoy a kickabout in the park.
