Just to make clear first of all that this is simply a hypothetical question.
There are two things that prompt me to ask it though, firstly my opinion that someone other than Davies as been pumping millons into the club for no obvious apparent benefit to themselves and the complete over the top reaction by many (again in my opinion) in respect of the Quick Quid shirt sponsorship.
Let's just suppose that it turns out that illegal money is being pumped into the club in order to 'legitimise' it, would it matter where this money came from - just as long as BWFC benefitted from it?
Are there shades of grey here? Would it make a difference if say the money came from tax avoidence (say money earned 'cash in hand' that has not been declared to the tax man) rather than 'dirty' money say from drugs or prostitution activities?
Would you rather see the club go broke and possibly out of existence or would you prefer say to accept money that as come from the exploitation of people (say sweatshop labourers being paid 10p per day working for Whittam International, making trainers?
Would you rather see us go into Administration rather than say the money come from exploiting the planet - say by Whittam's clearing much of the Amazon rain forest to breed cattle to put into McWimpey burgers and otherfat fast food that kills you?
Would you be happier to have the moral high ground and be pure and maybe watch the club sink because of it, or would you tolerate murky deeds that are outside of the law, to keep the club going?
Would you want Bolton to do well even if it meant making the fat cats behind the club now, getting even fatter, or would you rather us struggle but knowing that all is honest and above board throughout the club and how it opperates?
How would you feel if it turned out that someone like Quick Quid's themselves (or some other pay day lender, or similar) where the money men behind Davies, and that they rather than he owned the club - would you still head down to the Reebok to cheer on thegrossly overpaid lads?
Where do you draw the line on things?
