Then they are on a level with Merson for being dumb. My wealth management guy also works with a lot of sports people, I know that any decent club with set players up with this kind of advisor. Anyone who is earning that level of money and doesn't use some kind of investment company/wealth manager deserves everything they they get. You don't need a brain, just enough brains to know someone else should be handling you money. Someone to make sure it lasts.
