Lee Hendrie declared bankrupt!

[Bottom Right 89]

Barry Bannan take note - this is what happens when you become a millionaire at 21 behave like a cock and don't achieve your potential. Get your head down, get some financial advice (speak to Randy), don't attract shit publicity and let the football do the talking.

If Little Lee can't pay his debts maybe he could do some voluntary work? Alternatively I'm sure he could get a slot on Soccer Saturday wth the rest of the no fixed aboders.

when you go bankrupt everything you own belongs to the official reciever, and they will decide what you can keep and need to live on,
 the rest including houses and cars and any other major assets gets shared out amongst the creditors.

if he was advised and they have been planning the bankruptcy for some time he may have moved his assets ie his houses into other peoples names, although this is a old trick that the reciever will be aware of so its not all that easy.

if the reciever feels information is being withheld or he is being decieved he has powers to drag the whole process on and uncover the fraud, and they will know all the tricks of the trade.

fortunatly for Hendrie, they are also very busy at the moment, and will want things to move as fast as they can, and sometimes are not as thorough as usual,
 not saying hendries got anything to hide, but weve all known people go bankrupt and the next day seem to have everything they had before with all there debts written of,
 its because it was a well planned out and probably started over a year ago, others however can be completely wiped out

[Dave Cooper please]

I imagine he was trying to keep up the livestyle of a £24k a week footballer long after he was one, such as driving a Ferrari when playing for Tamworth, and this has caused the problem.

He never played for Tamworth, Dave W is on about a friendly that Villa played at The Lamb, he got sent off for fighting with Tamworth's Kyle Storer.
His brother played a couple of games for Tamworth and his Dad was manager for three years.

He should've looked after his finances better.

[sidcowans10]

Hard to feel too sympathetic. He was searched for drugs in The Greenhouse last month by the doormen such is his reputation locally

[Chap]

Sad to think at 34 if he had been sensible and had proper advice he could still be playing premier league or championship football.

[Malandro]

Despite his obvious foolishness, I hope he has plenty of support from family and friends.

Going from one extreme to the other in just over a decade, expecially for a young male, could very well put him at risk.

[OzVilla]

Hardly surprising.  A fool and his money and all that.......

[UK Redsox]

Nothing on the Insolvency Register yet. I guess it'll take a few days to filter through the system.

[Macho Man Randy Savage]

What happened to his testimonial in the end?

[TopDeck113]

Fuck him - and fuck all the others who will no doubt come along over the coming years.  Beneficiaries of the Premier League largesse, earning small fortunes on the back of having reasonable talent to kick a football, what it the overall scheme of things, is worth jack shit.  I know how hard I work, along with most of my friends - and probably most of the people on here - to earn in a year what he was earning every 10th day or so.  If he's gone and squandered it, I've no sympathy whatsoever.  Perhaps he'll have to find a "proper" job now, one that pays what most of us have to get by on, and spend the next few years reflecting on how lucky he actually was.

As he said to some kids when driving off in his Ferrari after he got sent off at Tamworth: "You might afford one of these one day."

Taxi for Mr Hendrie.

When he went to Stoke on loan he apparently used to wind up the opposition players by asking them if they wanted to wash his Ferrari for a bit of extra money.

Grade A wanker.

[Chris Smith]

It takes a special type of stupidity to be bankrupt after earning the type of money he has. That said, it's his life and the only person suffering is Lee himself so I'm not going to moralise about it.

[Jim Shoes]

Despite his obvious foolishness, I hope he has plenty of support from family and friends.

Going from one extreme to the other in just over a decade, expecially for a young male, could very well put him at risk.

I used to know his uncle and the stories he told I doubt if many of his family will give a fly fuck about the shit head.

As it's all hearsay I'm not going to repeat the things he said but if they are even half true then he is a complete tosser.

No sympathy for someone who's 24k per week which was the same amount I was earning in a year working shifts at Land Rover around the same time.

[PeterWithe]

I met him twice and he was sound as a pound on both occassions.
