You dont have to be skint to be declared bankrupt.

 

If you owe your creditors £750 or more they can file for bankruptcy.

A BANKRUPTY order has been filed against Liverpool player John Arne Riise, the ECHO can reveal.

 

The shock revelation emerged at Liverpool County Court relating to debts amounting to just under £100,000.

 

It is undertood the sum relates to fees on behalf of Riises fomer agent, Einar Baardsen, from whom he split in 2005.

 

But a source told the ECHO an English law firm were looking to recover the debt which had been run up by the agent, not Riise.

 

He described the courts bankruptcy order as an oversight, adding the players lawyers were expecting to have it annulled by Monday.

It is believed Riise has ended up with huge debts in his name, although he insists it is without his knowledge.

 

A source, close to Riise, said: There was a bankruptcy order issued, but it was an oversight which should have never ended up in court.

 

His lawyers are working on this case as a matter of urgency and they are confident the situation can be resolved in the near future.

 

The order was made in Liverpool on Tuesday, but Riise was not present, and it is said that he knows very little about his former agents claim.

 

Details of Riises bankruptcy are now officially listed, giving the players last known address in Liverpool.

 

The case is linked to a separate fraud action which Riise is pursuing against the former agent through the Norwegian courts.

 

It is believed the defender is claiming around £37 kroner (£3.1) from Mr Baardsen, who denies the allegations.

 

Newspaper reports have claimed that Riise is claiming money that was allegedly taken out in loans unauthorised by him, but taken out in his name.

 

One article claimed Riise had privately admitted signing documents on Baardsens recommendation without checking the small print.

 

Speaking to a Norwegian newspaper, last month, Riise said: I trusted him {Baardsen} and was shocked when I found out what had happened.

 

Now I have good people around me that will help me out of this. Maybe this can be a warning to other young footballers.

The dispute will not affect his position with the Reds in any way.

 

Riise has now signed up with the renowned agent Straun Marshall, from the SFX management company, who also represent Steven Gerrard.

 

A spokesman for Liverpool Football Club said: We are not going to comment as this is a private matter.

His agent took 3mill without him knowing :o

 

One, he's on way to much money.

 

Two, he's a thick f***.

 

In the interests of balance he took out loans in Riise's name, allegedly.

 

The rest of your post stands though.

 

Shame about Steve H, always liked his posts. Gonna miss him after hels sees this thread.
