    He is a total flog, but gee, I feel sorry for him. I hope getting sacked doesn't tip him over the edge.

    He'll be paid out, why the sympathy?

    Despite his financial position he needs more help so I'm sympathetic to that. I know being the slow learner that he is it won't garner a lot of public support but I hope for his sake and the sake of his children that he gets his act together.
    I don't necessarily wish him a lot of fortune in the future but I don't think now is the time to put the boot in.

    Stevo, any insight into how Katherine Firkin feels about this latest Fev development?

    More to do with his tenuous grip on a stable life, rather than any financial woes. Fev's clearly got some massive issues with addiction, and it's sad to see someone with such talent not being able to take control of their life.

    And he's got kids. I feel for them.

    All his own doing. Everyone has issues, not everyone has a million per year.

    Having a lot of money is not going to solve his issues.

    Agreed and I doubt anyone is saying otherwise

    Is the money aspect of this issue relevant?
    He doesn't need a hand out but by the sounds of things he might need a hand up.

    The old saying of money can't buy you happiness really rings true with Fev. All it does for him is give him some more options than most others who are struggling with depression, addictions and in his instance, stupidty.

    Firstly Fev is entitled to every cent. Secondly I rather have money and in Fev's position than be broke.

    fev is a bloke who has never ditched the mentality of high school...
    the world isnt going to sit around waiting for the penny to drop.
    it's a massive shame as he is easily in the top 5 natural football talents going around...and most watchable at that.
    i dont feel sorry for him, or pity him...when he grows up he can do that for himself!
    I'm paying money, the girl's happy, she's got no money, I got my rocks off, how good is this...
