Bucks Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 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

Dimond Geezer Posted 21 January, 2011 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/ Along with Alan Knight that's a hat-trick this week.
ericofarabia Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Have they been buying property in Dubai !! Luckily I haven't.
Bucks Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Author Posted 21 January, 2011 he played against us at St Marys the other week. Of course. I missed that one so forgot. thanks
Andy_Porter Posted 21 January, 2011 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/ What a mong. Ridiculous.
The9 Posted 21 January, 2011 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.
skintsaint Posted 21 January, 2011 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
conaero Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 All that money and has lost the lot. A lot to be said for us minions working on an average weekly wage!
Doctoroncall Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Surely it's the company that is liable not the indidual, in this case Brad Friedel?
Bucks Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Author 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)

I had a dumb moment, just like Brad but not so costly.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Our former player has been made Bankrupt apparently. Probably lost money betting on himself to score.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Seems crazy that footballers can earn so much for so long and be left with nothing to show for it.
Blandford saint Posted 21 January, 2011 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.
