yes, they donated money, not a million like the topic starter said. thats still a hell of a lot of money and they're not going to just give it away

A million is a lot even for footballers.

It would take you a year on 20k a week to earn a million and that's before taxes.

Let's see what the Real Madrid joke right winger is going to invest when he's 50.

I think you are right about it being cryinghisevesoutforgettingbookedinthehsemifinaloft he1990worldcupandwaslikelytomissthefinalbut it was probably to cover his bar bill for a quiet evening out with the lads the previous night.

Mr. T

I'm somewhat reliably informed, for what it's worth, that a certain enormously successful german f1 driver with a rather less successful younger brother (or is it ok to name names when the sportsman in question doesn't in fact play football? ) owns/is chairman of/contributes financially to a small danish club and a small swiss club. he even plays for them occasionally, aparently being once a promising footballer himself.

Now I know this isn't techincally on topic. but it's still cool.

Doesn't Marin O. own a wee chunk of Celtic, but he was a lawyer and Celtic aren't exactly LL anyway, so I'll just shut up before Reks tells me to.

Iskra

Surely if they donated a million or two it would defeat the LLM objective, its frustrating not having a pot to p-iss in but thats the charm of it all right?
