A fair bit of his money has gone to charity.Quote:

Financially he’s been stiffed, taken advantage of, taken the piss out of really by so called mates, people he thought he was looking after. Let’s hope he’s wised up financially because he’s going to ok football wise in coaching/management.
He comes across so well when he's commentating, and many footballers have gone out of their way to say how good he is as a coach and how knowledgeable he is.Quote:

Was the Sierra Leone thing a tax dodge or something? Seems so random. I remember when he signed a lot of city fans paid into that as a thank you.
Shame, it seems he has a lot going around in his head.
Wouldn’t say he wasted it, sounds like he put trust in the wrong people even giving someone PoE for gods sake…..unbelievableQuote:

Well, he won't be paying the tax it will be written off for a start.

I thought that was the idea of bankruptcy, starting again from scratch, debts written off?

I dont know but think - he must have been the victim of fraud / deception or just pure incompetence. Through a mate of a mate I met someone who said they were the property estate manager for Bellamy. He also told me how many properties he looked after and what the value of those properties were. This was about 7 years ago. So I find difficult to fathom how this has happened - other than him being ripped off by certain individuals perhaps.Quote:

Easy to sit here and judge but having that amount of money surely you have to be much more disciplined with it knowing that it has to last you.
He was ,he trusted people and they fleeced him. As he said, he played the football and left the finances to trusted people who were stuffing their own pockets with his earnings.Quote:

The debt is considered discharged at the end of the period of bankruptcy.Quote:

At the date of bankruptcy the debts and assets are looked after by the Trustee in bankruptcy, so any claims should be made to them and not the person.Quote:

Restrictions on the bankrupt person (eg applying for credit) are usually lifted after 12 months although their credit score can be affected for about 6 years afterwards.
