Peter H Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is a story that kinda stings in my eye. Apparently, due to bad investments, divorces etc, 3 out of 5 ex PL players go bankrupt within 5 years of their retirement. Despite earning on average 30 000 quid a month. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/three-in-five-former-english-premier-league-players-bankrupt/story-e6frfg8x-1226591159759 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 That sounds ridiculous! Even if it's "only" the 10/20% Taylor claims it is then it's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) To sum up, the biggest 'reasons' as to why players go bankrupt, are the Tax man and women. Just proves the age old debate nicely. Edited March 6, 2013 by tenaciousj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
