Many players are seemingly incapable of whipping their own behinds so it wouldn't be a huge surprise but its tough to tell in stories like that what's accurate and what's part of the 'defence '

Yeah, I was trying to gauge that. I'm not sure if the club would step in and take that on the chin for him as a ruse to get a lenient sentence. It reflects very badly on them that they'd have allowed his mail to go unread and have him roaring round the streets illegally. It seems a plausible defence to me. As you say, these players are spoonfed these days. I'd defo believe that a player just had their mail re-routed to their clubs.

An agent took over representing a player and hot his accountant to look at his finances , they then asked the player how many cars he was leasing ? Turned out every 6 months when he'd got a new one on lease he'd not stopped paying . Paying for a about 5 cars some of which he'd not seen for 2 years ! I know there were strong rumours about player liaison staff turning up to fix 'broken' fridges and find then still in cardboard.

As you say Players are so in a bubble it's scary but that story does look suspiciously like trying to avoid a harsher sentence .

Ha Ha. A story for our times that. Imagine having someone coming round to plug a fridge in for you? Kin ell.

Mucha: yeah, probably correct. Another failed plan!

I remember a story in the papers about Malouda moaning about life when joining Chelsea, he felt upset about the lack of support from Chelsea. It all started about because he wanted someone from the club to connect his dvd player to the TV, and other pointless stuff.
 
I think in years gone by footy players were relatively rich but not separated from the rest of society now I just think its so different they have no idea about our lives even if some of us are relatively wealthy and we know nothing about theirs . The distance gets wider and wider by the year , the bonus is there is quite well paid available employment for people skilled in plugging in fridges , opening doors and counting cars in driveways .

As daft as stuff like this sounds for us, I think clubs could easily employ 2 Admin staff to sort out stuff like this. I went to France to stay with a girl I was sort of seeing and she was asking me to install her cooker. She'd had it for months but didn't know how to install it or who to ask to help. She couldn't speak French well enough to find out. Now her eating salads and takeaway for months wasn't a problem, if anything it helped her in all the right places, but for someone who needs to eat right to be successful at their job, that could have been an issue. Easy enough to phone the club, and for them to get a handy man out to sort it out.

Yeah I kinda knew they did, I was just trying to say what Mucha is doing with his post and Malouda did, while silly to us, is actually a good idea, especially for the foreign players. I was more surprised after 2.5 years that Mucha still needed a translator.

I see the point you're making, but it's a bad analogy. Connecting and tuning devices to the telly is usually a pain in the wotsit for a lot of us, and I think I'd like the club to send someone around to do it for me
