Well, Best has gained that money back by refusing to work for a living ever since.

 

[Eeyore]

What's that ? The equivalent of us losing our wallet on a night out with £100 quid in it.

Or trekking up north for an away match to see one of his passionate efforts in a 50/50 chase..

We must have spunked that on his wages since hes been here, does that make us victims as well?

"Brighton and Hove Albion named as victims in Leon Best is a striker fraud."

 

[Bozza]

Is this the investment he made in the BBC show?



(Go to 38 minutes)

 

[El Turi]

So about 3 weeks wages then.

You cannot be serious!


Sorry, misread the title.

Yes, yes it does. Watching him in an albion shirt makes us victims

If he genuinely thought he was going to get 20% a month return it appears he is thick as well as lazy. If anyone is that stupid they deserve to get ripped off.

I thought footballers came with a raft of advisors these days....how come none smelt a rat?

Not only is Leon Best USELESS as a STRIKER he is also GULLIBLE

Named in the Mail on Sunday as having lost £100k in the Michael McIndoe 'Ponzi' financial investment scheme, it reckoned that it affected some clubs notably Wolves as their players lost so much cash to him it affected their form on the pitch

You stupid boy

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Perhaps Leon should audition for the position of new BHA club mascot.... Gullible.

Who's to say they didn't? If smelling a rat was a concern for these "advisers", they wouldn't be working with Leon Best.

Don't professional football clubs offer to provide sensible professional financial advisers in the same way that Camelot do for THEIR usually ThickAsShit lottery winners?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Greed. As if today's footballers and Best don't earn enough already.
