Would You Take the Money?

Is it even a question?

August 06, 2025

Hey everyone,

👇️ Watching this video brings home the dilemma a very small number of parents face.

But it blows my mind that this goes on.

The money in elite football is unimaginable to most of us - but when your child hits certain levels and interests a top team, it sounds like things can get ridiculous.

In this scenario, what would you do?

I’d like to think most would resist this kind of predatory move.

And I’d hope that people have support around them to navigate this - and think about reporting the approach.

But for some I’d imagine the temptation and their life circumstances makes their decision very difficult.

What do you think?
