The "good guy" seems to have got himself into bother, with details held back but a pretty clear inference that on-line gambling is a big player in his problems.

I know his wife was ill & then died, but b-hell, with the number of years at the top he had then he must have blown some cash.

How does one get credit with an online gambling company? (Not that I'm interested in obtaining some, I just didn't think that's how they do business. Perhaps it's different for their 'big' accounts.)

Probably paid out a fair amount in private medical care for his wife over her seven year battle.

No. they sued & won a fair amount plus costs, so that's not the reason. Norwas her loss of earnings as she was a 'home-maker'.

I understand that for the high rollers there are executive packages which allow people to build up credit. ... & before you ask ... no, never, not to much as a penny ... ever.

Shame, whatver the reason. I liked him at Bolton, he did a good job for us, and losing his wife that way must have smacked him hard. Hope he works it out and learns from it.

Ah yes, I forgot that somebody was liable for their fault in respect of her medical problems.

Same as Tango, I hope the big guy sorts it out.

I mentioned a few months back that a story was coming out on Hendry. He had a big gambling problem and owed many (I believe) money. If I recall correctly, hasn't even paid for his wifes funeral. I think the story broke around 3 months ago and was covered in several newspapers.

Leave him alone - he's our very own baron munchausen, and to be encouraged, imo. i've laughed out loud as ever more outrageous claims were offered - of which my fave so far was taking a hit in the cumbria shootings and digging the bullet out in a cave...
