A Moral Dilemma For you

[thfcsteff]

Thanks to a late-night meeting with a gentleman called 'Nick' in a sleazy Soho bar (he insisted you call him 'Old' Nick for some reason), an opportunity has been presented to you. You have the opportunity to pass a large, brown paper bag full of cold, hard cash (untraceable notes) to referee Atwell before Saturday's game. In return for this bag, you make sure that Atwell agrees to throw the match our way via several highly suspect decisions which will prove unreviewable yet guarantee us victory. 'Old Nick', in turn, promises that with this single filthy act of corruption, you will guarantee our safety (don't ask how, just trust 'Old Nick').
The only catch is you cannot tell a soul - if you do, the deal flips and we will automatically be relegated even after the bung - and Johan Lange gets to keep his job.

Well??????? Could you do it morally? Could you keep your mouth shut?

Where's the GoFundMe for this?

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

There’s always a gotcha with that particular intermediary. Can’t we just contact Atwell’s agent and set up a motorway services car park meet like normal people, without any diabolic involvement?

 

[glasgowspur]

I wouldn't waste my money, refs have been fudging us over since the inception of the PL, he'd take the money and welch on the deal.

 

[Rorschach]

I think it's an agreement with old Nick for our recent trophy that has us in this mess.

 

[Baleforce]

Absolutely not.

The cheating should happen on the pitch.

We’d also get caught for it and sent to the GM Vauxhall Conference.

 

[Kandi1977]

What's the dilemma?

 

[BrentwoodSpur]

I’m afraid I can’t tell any of you lot

 

[Mr Gogolak]

These things always resurface sooner or later: just ask AC Milan and Juventus fans. There's no such thing as a free ride in life so no, I wouldn't make that deal, if only because there's a chance we might stay up even if I don't give him the money while I'm absolutely certain we would go down later down the line, once the deal becomes public.

You know what @thfcsteff, this occurred to me last night. In any walk of life I’ve experienced, rich people don’t like getting less rich and will do anything to avoid it. There’s no level I haven’t seen people sink to to avoid accountability particularly when it comes to money. Surely our mob wouldn’t be stupid enough to try something like this though.

Knowing the level of competence we’re dealing with, they’d probably do it and then claim the credit for it publicly if we avoid relegation.

I voted no by the way.

What about the Aussie bloke at stockley
.... we'll need to cut some wires?

 

[billyiddo]

Yes of course

 

[harr1984]

Nah. Spurs take enough of our cash already.

If we are that brick that we need to bung a ref to stay up and then I'd rather we just take our medicine, and I'll spend that money on something far more deserving ie me .....

 

[treepits]

Voted yes. No brainer. My only issue is what else old Nick from the sleazy bar wants from me…

 

[Glenda's Legs]

I should vote No on principle. But to quote Groucho Marx : "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others".

Could he do it against Cheatski instead and still guarantee our survival?
