Bucks Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Our former player has been made Bankrupt apparently. Lost his cash in a property deal. Been playing professionally something like 14 years (Wimbledon, Charlton, Boro, us of course). Believe he is injured but still with Blackpool. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Well at least I know why he didn't offer to take a pay cut when we were in administration now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Brad Friedel too: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/01/21/aston-villa-goalie-brad-friedel-declared-bankrupt-115875-22864358/ Explaining the project was meant to help youngsters succeed in Europe, he said: “It’s set up as a non-profit business. I don’t make any money on it.” haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoroncall Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Surely it's the company that is liable not the indidual, in this case Brad Friedel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Surely it's the company that is liable not the indidual, in this case Brad Friedel? All sorts of possibilities but probably: - he invested his own money to start it up - he maybe invested more when it was making losses, to keep it afloat - the company borrowed money from Banks and the Banks took security over his personal assets (property etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Seems crazy that footballers can earn so much for so long and be left with nothing to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blandford saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Share Posted 21 January, 2011 Makes you wonder who they are going to for financial advice. They seem to think that kind of money will go on rolling in forever. Still, it is astonishing that they've got themselves in this situation whilst still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
