[Paul O'Brien]

The money just slipped through his hands, I guess.

He was always, and still is, presented as one of the bright footballers.
Just shows what can happen, poor financial advice?

He had to pay his ex wife a fair few million a few years back.

Another victim of Portsmouth's over spending.

The must still owe him something, they owe everywhere else.

 

[westwing]

Idiot !

 

[Invipai]

It happens with quite a lot of footballers though...there are stats on those that go bankrupt within 5 years of retiring.

Too much money that they don't know how to control spending it, something that then causes them a lot of trouble once the income dries up...

 

[GP200]

.............yep...........don't try and spend more than you earn.........

Wasn't there also some failed property scheme with surprise, surprise, Harry Redknapp?

Harry can give him his shed to live in at the end of his garden in sandbanks luvly view..

The must still owe him something, they owe everywhere else.

Pompey are clear of all debts now, all players were protected from the club going bust and I believe any money owing to players had to be paid off by any new owners, they have some sort of special creditor status... never mind all the local businesses that were owed thousands lets protect the players who earns tens of thousands a week? Another stitch up from the football family...

 

[hanworthbee]

It does make me laugh when I hear that Pompey are debt free...only because most of it was written off

 

[Boscombe Bee]

Cant say I have any sympathy. Its not as if he had to spend his fortune on medical treatments etc

 

[B2B]

Has he dropped the price yet?
