Carew declared bankrupt!
« on: May 09, 2012, 08:40:50 AM »
How on earth did he manage to do that? 40K-a-week wages! These players aren't in the real world.

He was on a lot more than that here.
But its incredible to squander so much money.

What a prick, he strikes me as a bit of a waster to be honest.

It is easy to do it if you invested money in say property at the top of market a few years back. He bought a car in VP carpark for £100k cash that was a rented Porsche, a couple of years back. Maybe just a nice bloke who trusted people a bit too much. A financial advisor person once said I can make you a small fortune..It happened but I used to have a big one. Poor old John..he scored a few good 'uns in his day but was a little capricious perhaps.

He's played for some top clubs in quite a long career.

He must be one brainless fool to end up like that.

he didn't even drink did he?

My guess is that as someone earlier mentioned he was persuaded to invest in something that was anything but a good investment.

I doubt very much he's spent all his money.  HMRC often petition for bankruptcy over unpaid tax.  As he's moved around a fair bit, his tax affairs could be quite complicated, and if he's disputing an amount, they can look to make him bankrupt, even though he's probably got squillions in the bank.

If he's broke then there are some filthy rich lap dancers around somewhere!

Correct - he's alleged to owe a six-figure sum. This was brought about by HMRC who won a High Court ruling. Still doesn't excuse such reckless behaviour. Can't he be arsed to employ a decent Accountant?

He didn't just "make it rain" in the strip-clubs, he must have made it Monsoon
