Is it just me that finds a company that deals in bankruptcy sales having the tagline "Vested in Your Success" a little bit off?

I don't recall him being known as a big drinker or gambler, so he must have made some very poor financial moves to be in this position. Wasn't he into art?
Although sad I find it hard to feel sorry as he must have been earning £25k+ a week in his time.

More than the money he must have gone through, he always seemed intelligent so God knows where it all went.

Sympathy up to a point but obviously at some point gambled too much of his fortune - which is nuts.

Sure he is capable of amassing another wedgw through the media or management.

Indeed. You'd think that with £20m earnings he'd have managed to have something put away but to lose it all must be devastating. Dave mentions him being intelligent but Robbie Fowler, not somebody you'd imagine to be the smartest of the team is the one raking it in with a buy to let portfolio of over 80 houses. He's even set up his own 'academy' to teach footballers how to invest.

"But His personal life went into meltdown when he left his wife Tanya in 2005 and was forced to pay her £3m as part of their divorce settlement.

He left her to rekindle a relationship with his childhood sweetheart Amanda Salmon and they have been together ever since."
