CiderHider Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 You need money to make money, credit to LJ for having the sense to invest some of his, clearly he knows the value of it and how it can secure his future. Most pro footballers aint as well of as you might think though, league 1 and 2 is littered with nearly men who never quite make it to the bigtime, their £1k per week 3yr deal is up and they can only hope their club wants to renew, let alone getting a call from his agent about interest from Manchester. Make hay while the sun shines, great saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 not very well researched really and misleading to a point. they are confusing a players global reputation with business savvy.

CiderHider Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Aside from his football earnings, his income is derived from a column in the Daily Mail, a Pepsi endorsement deal and a Diadora contract <li>Instead of a supercar he drives an environmentally-friendly Prius, and he's selling his Bolton house for £6m ($9.8m) while he builds an eco-home embedded in a Lancashire hillside Plays for ManU, writes for the Daily Fail, endorses Pepsi, drives a prius and has an eco-home..

pride of the west Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Fair play to jono but the figures arnt that impressive when you consider he would have had to work his ball bag off to gain the return. A little over 10% per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 not checked but I think the list on on players who still play football rather than fowler who is coaching currently. Don't think so, isn't Johnny Haynes dead? I think Michael McIndoe is also a bit of a property developer, I would think he has made more than LJ who so far has bought and sold one house that we know of.

Pezo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 http://www.money.co....all-players.htm Seems little Lee can do somthing right not everyones cup of tea I know but fair play to him, Oh yeah well done to him but he has just invested in one of the worst asset classes available at the moment. He is about 10 years to late to that particular party, if he wanted to make money he should have got into anything but housing which isn't going to rise for at least the next 10 years considering the government currently have it on life support and its still falling like a stone. He would have been considerably better off investing his money with Hargreaves Landsdown and playing a little stocks and shares not that this is the best investment at the moment either but anything other than property surely.

I cant agree there Pezo, Bricks and mortar is still the best investment, house prices only really dropped by 15% real terms, some others markets dropped of the face of the planet. People need a roof over their head more than % gains on the FTSE imo But it was all connected to the housing bubble as banks were irresponsible in lending, but property is still the least volatile area of investment. If you want to take some serious risks with your money, then SL is your man. Urrft, that didn't come out right, I mean it in the sense that SL can probably offers juicy returns if all goes well, but I imagine it would be tied up for a few years.

I am a free marketeer in most things but I think legislation is called for to restrict the number of homes one person can own as housing is a basic human need. Personally I think it stinks.

Agreed, see my drunken rant in general forum I think the land in the UK should be redistrubuted. It was taken in murky curcumstances anyway. I don't see why hard working CITIZENS of the UK who work hard and pay tax on everything should live like this while some Earl who's great grandfather overthrew the then goverment gets to keep that Castle, 1200 acre of land and all that comes with it. A vast % of the land in the UK is owned by an tiny % of people. So just becuase these people have had money and land for generations we just sit back and take it? Sorry, its unequal. It would be fine if we were not in such dire strates, but we are and the wolves are circling... Dont know the exact numbers, but everyone in the UK who owns more than X amount of land, should give 20% of it to people and 10% to the treasury. and if they dont like it, they can **** off! there are 85000 of us for everyone of you!

CiderHider Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Dont want to go too off topic, but consider this. Europe is under attack from Africa, ex Eastern communist states, the middle east and Asia, even though you cant see it, its happening. Think of a sand egg time in 2d and a map of the world, now place the full end of the timer in southern Europe, now speed up the next 75yrs and watch the tiny granules, each representative of 1000 people flow into Europe from Africa, Asia, and the middle East, pooling eventually in the UK. Europe is a magnetic beackon for those wanting a better life fleeing oppresion and genocide. Now not saying this is a bad thing, you cant blame someone for wanting a better life, and if i was a Libyan I would be making a beeline for the UK as quick as goggle maps could direct me there, especially if I had family. So in 50yrs the problem will be so bad it will cause unrest, seriously. The world has changed, its smaller now and numbers are flying off the scale, people cant have such massive wealth of land anymore, by our own human nature we wont allow it to happen. Sorry Lee, just dont buy too much land ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHider Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 didn't that happen when King John signed the Magna Carta? only for government years to take it away again? Something like that, it was a fascinating period of History 1215 separated us from the rest of the world in terms of real human rights. Unfortunately we haven't really progressed with it, whats the next step of the UK? Laws need redefining sometimes, just becuase they are law does not mean to say they are right for now. It falls on the British people once again to take the first step, need to redefine the constitution for our own good and move forward. Socialism has failed everywhere its tried, democracy encourages greed and rewards dishonestly, autocracy's are archaic so out of the question, what's left? what do we try when we have tried everything?

Mugabe is a racist psychopath who had one agenda. He used the rhetoric of land redistribution to gain popularity, but really all he cared about was killing white man and taking their land. Clearly Mugabe economic advisor was on holiday that week as he burned all the farms down, reducing their GDP by 3/4 that was clever. And the people who blindly followed him? Promised wealth and land, and also scared 5hitless that if they didnt they would be killed. Sadly they didn't get anything anyway, they burned down all their industry if they recalled ! Africa is just a mess, sad really as it could be the most impressive, bountiful fertile contenants on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually free market conditions would be loverly but with SMI, ZIRP, tax breaks for landlords, home buy direst (or first step or what ever they call in) and everything else that the government are chucking my taxes and my unborne children's taxes at it is far from a free market.

Urrft, that didn't come out right, I mean it in the sense that SL can probably offers juicy returns if all goes well, but I imagine it would be tied up for a few years. We will have to agree to disagree , I believe housing has had a 1/2 fall at best. The only thing that matters when it comes to bricks and mortar is how much someone is able to borrow and banks are withdrawing finances slowly but surely to invest more in business, as they are aloud to lend less under the fractional (fraudulent) lending system as they are having to hold more capital. Tax money was used to keep house prices artificially high by the government and we are right at the top of the dead cat bounce and just entering the fear phase in the standard bubble life-cycle. As soon as the government stops supporting housing and allows it to find its true market value then the crash will just be faster but at the moment average house prices are falling by about £50 a day - thats more than I earn I think. House prices did fall 15% in real terms but If you include inflation then they have come down about 27%, and as no one is getting inflation aligned pay rises then this affects the ability to pay off the debt most people have with there house. QE happened to save the banks that had lent foolishly on a property bubble, that same QE is now causing rampant inflation as the free money tries to work its way through the system, this has short term saved the economy but long term made it much worse.
