Maybe he can sell them rocks in his garden....
My dad did a load of work for him around 20 years ago when he was still playing for us. First time.
Dad came home from his one day and told me he had just spent £14k on rocks for a rockery in his garden.

Actually they are only ruthless with people who repeatedly take the piss. They have no vested interest in making people bankrupt.

If people can’t pay what’s due, and accept the interests and penalties, and aren’t inveterate annd habitually unreliable offenders, then HMRC are perfectly amenable.

Not having that G.

The cunts mithered me to fuck a few years ago adamant I owed them over 2 grand. Letters, phone calls, emails the full splather.

Eventually sorted it and they actually owed me the daft cunts.

I used to do work for a woman that worked for him. Said he was beyond reckless with spending. Had humongous over heads, CCJs , unpaid bills, the lot. And this was on £30k a week.
She Said its not uncommon with a lot of footballers

Wes Brown the same, bankruptcy and Mutv to pay the bills whilst living in one of Rashfords houses on mates rates, after 40K a week at waterworld
 
Even post bankruptcy I suspect he'll still get to have a much nicer house, car and lifestyle than just about everyone on this forum... as seems to always be the case whenever any wealthy people declare themselves bankrupt.
 
Footballers live quite a cosseted life. Someone to clean the house. Someone to sort flights. Someone to sort cars out. Someone (John Terrys case) to clip your toenails. You put your trust in them, no problem. What’s the worst that can happen. You do the same with a financial advisor and it can unravel very quickly. Hope it
works out well for him.

I guess they just keep living the lifestyle they have always lived but don’t have the wage to sustain it any longer.

They get treated like kings and as soon as they are done they are dropped and suddenly they are on their own. Not surprised so many struggle tbh
 
Lots of footballers become bankrupt for tactical reasons after they retire since the Enterprise Act 2002 came into force. One of the fundamental changes to insolvency it brought about was that (unless there was evidence of fraud) pensions didn’t form part of a bankrupt’s estate. So the bankrupt got to keep their private pension. I know this from personal experience.

Given the amount of money senior players have in their pension funds (which they can access in their 30s) their lifestyles and the difficulty they sometimes have to adjust their expenditure after they retire, it sometimes makes sense to clear the decks.
 
I enquired about 3-4 years ago now to have Shaun on my Tales of Blue YouTube channel and managed to speak to his agent at the time, who wanted a £500 payment to him for half hour of Shaun's time at venue I'd need to provide within 10 minutes of a his suggested location.

The problem with a lot of footballers is they get molly coddled everthing done for them by their clubs .
When he lived in Cheadle Hulme & sold his house the person who bought it turned up after signing for it & shauny boy was still in the house with all his belongings, wasnt aware he should of moved out .

He had a great house in Appleton Warrington. The whole estate is footballer type houses. That house was worth £720k when he sold it. Now worth well over £1m.
During my time around many footballers, it seemed the wags and hangers on that depleted the money fast.
They get used to a certain income and don't adjust when they stop playing.

That doesn’t necessarily reflect poorly on Shaun, mate.

It might just be his wanky agent displaying zero judgement and trying to get blood out of a stone.

Met him once for a couple of minutes at a bar opening in Nottingham in around 2004. I like to think I can read peoole, and he was a good guy. Definitely benign. And maybe he was skint.

And £1,000 an hour? Even @Chris in London doesn’t charge that!

It wasn't meant to in any way or form mate, I've met Shaun a good few times and is a cracking fella.

It was directed at the agent 110%
