foghornred Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29895649 Anyone fancy bidding ? Sad to see a player who has earned more than we could dream of getting into so much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is that some sort of joke? An indivdual that has earned thousands fleecing the working man to pay his extortionate wages and now he wants most likely the same fans to buy his stuff? Im sorry but he can do one IMO, what was the kiddy on when he was here, deffinetly over 10k a week wasnt it? Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Struggle to feel any sympathy for this to be honest....for someone who has built a reputation on being quite intelligent im not quite sure how he finds himself bankrupt....Also always here about celebs being bankrupt but not sure they suffer too much, that skank Kerry katona is always pleading poverty but is still living in a 6 bed mansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 To blow all his money after years of earning tens of thousands a week is just incredible. Now he'll look to the ordinary fans to help buy all his stuff that they helped pay for. There will be plenty of gullible people to help him out too fortunately for him.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I am sure I read that he had to pay half of his fortune to his wife as part of their divorce. Still doesn't excuse the fact he has blown millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 And I thought he was supposed to be one of the intelligent ones. Shame really, for 1% of his career earnings, I could have made sure that this didn't ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 This story is months old, it was said at the time that he had been too generous giving his money to charities and youth projects in the different areas that he has lived. But hey it's easier to suggest he has pissed up the wall isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asfred Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 As he has been declared bankrupt an official receiver or court appointed insolvency practitioner will have been made trustee, to administer his finances during the period of bankruptcy. It would be there decision to realise any capital from the sale of personal assets including car, house, personal items etc... to enable creditors to be paid. It is therefore likely that it is not David James who has made the decision to sell his football memorabilia, but the court appointed trustee. The same trustee who will be taking a large chunk of his earnings from India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 But even if it was one divorce or several he still should be having more in his bank account than several of us put together I would think? Surely an ex wife would only be entitled to half, and his half is again still more than the average person earns in a lifetime I guess? I understand he did a lot for charity, but again I am guessing it was personal appearances, putting his name to something rather than giving away thousands (unless for tax reasons). Didn't he have an organic vegetable business or something somewhere near Exeter, which was part of the reason when he joined us so that he could stay in the area. Did that go spectacularly wrong? I didn't rate him at all when he was here, infact I never went a bundle on him throughout his career. But I I'd hear some very intelligent interviews so my opinion went up a little. He did say though that other than playing he had no interest in football at all, couldn't tell the interviewer who was top of the Premiership etc. So when he does the pundit work I can't help thinking he is doing it for the 'wrong' reasons. No doubt he will write a book and solve all his problems that way, if there are enough people about who care enough it buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 He did write off a huge sum of money owed to Portsmouth to keep them alive as well mind. Works both ways. not sure about this pretty sure his name was on a list of ex Pompey players still being paid by the Pompey Supporters Trust after the rescue. The signing of James backfired for us as he failed to inspire on or off the pitch. He was poor on BT Sport as a pundit,and was moved from PL games to Conference games and then disappeared altogether - which is why he was available for the IPL I guess.
