Ferguson declared bankrupt

He's meant to be a motivator yet on Sunday at half time we are 2-1 down, he's laughing and joking on the pitch with subs warming up, surely he should have been in the dressing room giving his say??

I just really don't get why he's here.

Anyway, probably a good time for him to reflect on how well-loved he is by thousands of Evertonians and maybe a good tactic for him right now to mentally adopt a kind of Teofilo Stevenson mindset.

Stevenson (for the teenagers) won the olympic heavyweight (boxing) gold three times on the bounce and when offered fortunes to leave Cuba to fight professionally in the states (for fellers like Don King and Bob Arum) said 'What are eight million dollars compared to the love of eight million Cubans?'

Type..stuff.

Or maybe he's just hidden it well and didn't fancy meeting his obligations to HMRC.

Never was a fan.

Seriously, how can people who earn or have earned more money in a week than most of us see in a year, manage to lose it all and then go bankrupt???

Probably, as has been said, due to bad advice and bad investments. I'm sure Duncan will not starve or feel the need to visit food-banks any time soon, so I'm not that sympathetic to be honest.

I still worship the guy. I wish we had a player like him now. In his first spell he was unplayable in derbies and against Man Utd. I used to row with my dad all the time about him. Dad was a football purist who felt that we lumped it up to him too much and that he was unreliable. I thought he was a hero in a team of also-rans.

Doesn't seem to have a problem earning a salary afterwards, maybe the bankruptcy's just a way to wipe out past debts and start afresh with a clean slate (much like companies do). For example, David James filed a couple of years ago and is currently a BT Sports pundit ...

If you have no assets. Your bankruptcy can write off all your debts, and you can be discharged with all restriction lifted within 12 months.

Then you need a certificate of discharge to apply for credit, mortgage, etc.

However it is rumoured he got involved with some bad property investments and lost out big time.

Bloody terrible isn't it? The mans sick with worry! And the jokes are out already.

Haha.

Now in the City game, when Lukaku and a City player was pulling each other in the box, did the ref blow up for offside, or for something else?

Lukaku pointed to himself! As if to say, "You mean me?"

A lot of footballers are going to be in the same boat, where they've dodged 40% on their £40k a week plus for years. HMRC are back in their 40%, and the players just ain't got it. This could be millions.

I know a guy who left a £60k a year job (sports-related) to go and work for Celtic, if that's any indication to what DF earns.

He works with young players there on lots of things. So, I would think he would be getting more than £60k. And then again, maybe not – the job at Celtic wouldn't do his CV any harm.

Lack of good judgement will probably put the lid on any more talk of his succeeding Martinez.

Martinez shows a lack of judgement every week.
