West Ham striker Carlton Cole may be a Premiership star on a reported £20,000 a week but that hasn't stopped him getting an incredible FOUR cars worth around £264,000 repossessed in the past two months.

His £132,000 Bentley Continental GTC was the latest to go after he failed to keep up repayments.

And he's also had to wave goodbye to a £62,000 BMW 650, a £50,000 BMW X5 and a £20,000 Mini Cooper in quick succession. The car trouble isn't his only recent brush with bailiffs - in February they turned up at West Ham's Upton Park ground after a dispute about a £800 bill for the congestion charge.

It's maybe no surprise that Carlton is linked with possible moves away from West Ham for the start of the new season with a transfer to Turkey a possibility - assuming someone can give him a lift to the airport.

The striker's repossessions are reckoned to be more to do with his inability to keep up with paperwork rather than any financial trouble - after all he's earning more than £1 million a year.
 
some players have so much done for them they simply cant function in life. there was a player, i cant for the life of me remember who, but it was possibly Rio ferdinand, had his leccy cut off because he didnt know how to pay the bill. i've also done a remortgage for a Championship player who almost had his house repossessed because he never paid his mortgae, despite the monthly payments being less than 2.5% of his monthly wage

Surely thats just being plain stupid, I mean how many of these monthly installments do they have? One or two? I gather that their mobiles are all contracts ones so thats Direct Debit sorted, then the also the Direct Debit for the utility bills and unless they are Robbie "Estate magnate" Fowler, I doubt it if they have that many properties that need mortgage sorting.

They would all have mortgages, the mortgage interest repayments are offset against the rental income to avoid income tax. I was once offered a job by Jerome Anderson (1995)to look after his clients doing just that amongst other things, I sometimes I wish I'd taken it when I see the incomes they generate nowadays..

Sorry Marching it must have been when he was at Sheffield Wednesday or possibly Rangers. I could have sworn he was Gooner for a while but that's not how I heard about his little 'problem'.

Don't know waht his problem was, it can only be drugs or gambling I'd have thought, probably the latter. Funnily enough during Merson's well documented troubles with drink and substance abuse, at that time it was apparently gambling which was his main problem.

They have too much time on their hands.

I think that was actually Crespo, the electric was cut off because he couldn't understand English, so didn't know how to go about paying the bill.
Which is fair enough and says more about Chelsea than the stupidity of footballers.
 
There was a player liaison agent interviewed by Four Four Two a couple of years back and his job is basically to make sure new signings settle in by basically doing everything for them. Anyway this guy worked for Fulham and in the interview said a player called him at 3 am cause there was a cold breeze in his bedroom. The agent went to his house and closed the bedroom window, solving the problem. I really can't imagine how thick that player must have been

I hope that's a joke. If not, I can't see how that player is still alive - being that thick and all.

He must be as thick as fecking mince if he cant even go into his bank to set up a direct debit.

It's really not fair that someone with such little brain power is earning a million a year.

Jason McAteer sprung to mine when reading this, although it could not possibly have been him.

found it online, it's funnier than I remember it, don't know how I forgot about the goldfish story

"The wider issue, though, is addressing the source of the problem: the over-protection of players through weak management and nannying. Last April a Fulham player liaison officer told the papers about some of his tasks. He said he'd been called out to Alain Goma's house because 'Goma's goldfish was swimming in the wrong direction'. He'd been called to rescue a player lost on the London Underground ('he was helpless'). He'd been called out by Fabrice Fernandes who kept waking up in the morning with a wet head, and discovered the player had been 'sleeping by an open window'.

Probably not far wrong, i ripped the piss out of David Bellion in The Living Room on new years eve a few years ago as 2 weeks earlier or so i'd seen him in the layby next to City's training ground having his tyre changed by one of the United security guys. he just laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Fair play mind.
