      A charge was placed on the property meaning if he sold it Chris would get his cash back.
      But Chris says a lawyer made an error meaning the charge was useless — and Guthrie never repaid him. Chris then petitioned for bankruptcy.
      Stoke-on-Trent county court issued the order in July meaning Guthrie, who now plays in Iceland, is bankrupt.
      Chris, from Broadway, Worcs, said: “I feel very let down. We met a few years ago through mutual contacts at charity events and got on well.
      “He seemed a decent guy and I was happy to lend him the money.
      “I asked him numerous times to repay the bridging loan but he refused so I had no choice but to make him bankrupt. I’m now hoping the administrators will repay me.”

      Guthrie began at Liverpool FC.
      In 2012 his wedding to Rebecca Middleman erupted in a brawl with cops called three times.
      The Sun contacted him for comment.

      It’s a lucky escape for Mrs Kane… Man City ruined my marriage, says Riyad Mahrez’s former wife Rita Johal

      by

      THE ex-wife of Man City ace Riyad Mahrez has claimed he turned his back on her and their family after signing for the club.Today singer Rita Johal says the winger, who earns £160,000 a week, transformed from a down-to-earth dad who shopped in Asda into a “big head” after his move from Leicester City.

      And she thinks England ace Harry Kane’s wife Kate should breathe a sigh of relief now that his £160million transfer to Man City has collapsed.
      Rita, 28, exclusively told The Sun on Sunday: “I can’t comment on other people’s lives but moving there changed my husband.
      “Harry Kane’s wife probably had a lucky escape. Others should be careful.
      “Riyad let fame go to his head. He changed when he went to Manchester City.
      “But a footballer’s career is short-lived.
      “They should remain grounded and loyal to those they care for, even when they have moved up to a bigger club, because when it’s all over they will realise who’s truly there.”
      Rita told how she changed her faith for Muslim Riyad, stopped drinking alcohol and accepted a quiet life with the star when she first met him seven years ago.
      But when he moved north for £60million in 2018, she says Riyad, 30, turned cold towards her.

      Now he has moved on and is engaged to influencer Taylor Ward.
      Rita said: “The Riyad I met is a different person to the one he is now. He parties, he acts like a flash footballer.
      “I don’t hate him, that’s a strong word, but I am shocked and saddened by what he has done.
      “He suddenly left me, blaming the pressures of playing at Manchester City.
      “Now he spends all his time jetting around the place on holiday without a care in the world.”
      Rita, who has worked as a film extra in Kingsman: The Secret Service, and Cinderella, was walking in Oxford Street in her home city of London when Riyad tapped on her shoulder.
      She said: “It was 2014 and I didn’t have a clue who he was. He wasn’t a big name then.
      “But he was charming and I liked him. He was lovely to me, constantly telling me I was beautiful, asking about my life, making me feel special.
      “He said he loved me and wanted me to have his children.”
      The pair became inseparable and just four months later they married in a secret ceremony.
      Rita said: “We had a small wedding at home.
      “I loved him, I wanted to do that. I changed the way I was for him. I changed my faith.
      “I stopped drinking, as he didn’t drink. I loved his values. And I wanted a solid family life.
      “I wanted us to be strong together like my own parents and he felt the same way.
      “Our wedding was low key at home with two priests and our close family.
      “We were madly in love and we wanted to be together for ever.”
      They went on to have daughter Inaya in 2015.
      During the pregnancy, Rita suffered such bad pre-eclampsia she feared she would die and was wary of trying to have another child.
      But a year later the couple ­­welcomed a second daughter, Ayla.
      She said: “I was terrified about having more children but Riyad really wanted us to extend our family. I was scared but he kept reassuring me everything would be OK. We were overjoyed when Ayla was born.
      “At first we were just a normal family.
      “Riyad wasn’t flash. Yes, he was a footballer, but we were just your regular couple with our two little girls.
      “He went and played football, I was a stay-at-home mum. We would watch films together.”
      But in July 2018, Manchester City confirmed his signing on a five-year contract. The transfer fee of £60million made him the club’s then most expensive player.
      Rita says that is when their lives changed completely. Rita, now living in Beaconsfield, Bucks, said: “The loving, humble and caring Riyad disappeared.
      “He started to believe his own hype. He had yes men who told him what he wanted to hear. I started to see the change in him.
      “He stopped asking me how my day went and what I was going to do.
      “I think I became the boring wife at home and he had this glitzy lifestyle away from me.
      “He started to just ignore me.
      “Obviously I asked what was going on and he would say, ‘I am pressured, it is the football, I am stressed’.”
      Things went downhill further until the Manchester City ace moved out of the family home in 2019.
      Rita says: “It got worse and worse. Eventually he moved into our spare room.
      “And then one day he left and checked into a hotel.
      “He just left the family. He left us — he chose a new life.
      “I begged him to come home. He said he couldn’t because he felt so pressured because of football.
      “The truth is he was bored. It was dreadful for me.
      “His fans bullied me online and I felt like a failure.

      “For a long time I didn’t have the strength to speak about it.
      “And then when I did, because I had publicised the fact he had walked out, I was the one accused of cheating.
      “There was a huge backlash on social media and I was bullied again, even though in my eyes I was the victim.”
      Last February Riyad started dating Taylor Ward, the daughter of Real Housewives Of Cheshire stars Dawn and Ashley Ward, himself a former footballer.
      Taylor, 23, moved into his luxury flat in December last year and earlier this year they bought a £2million home in Cheshire.
      And in June, the Algeria national team captain proposed with a £400,000 custom-made engagement ring.
      Rita, who is now dating 28-year-old music producer Fumez The Engineer, said: “I found out that he was going out with Taylor via Instagram, because people kept tagging me in photos of him.
      “He didn’t have the decency to tell the mother of his children that he had a new partner.
      “I found out that he was engaged to Taylor on Instagram too. I wish him all the happiness there is but he appears to live a different lifestyle now.
      “He stopped talking to me for a long time after he left. I don’t know why. I did nothing wrong.
      “He will mainly talk via my mum, which is ridiculous. It’s hurtful.
      “I just hope once the glitz of football has gone he doesn’t live to regret it.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo will earn at least £50MILLION at Man Utd after telling them ‘I want to come home’

      by

      MONEYBAGS idol Cristiano Ronaldo will earn at least £50million from his sensational Manchester United comeback after telling them: “I want to come home.”The Sun can reveal the superstar, 36, had been in secret talks for months to rejoin the Red Devils — despite rumours he would sign for rivals Man City.
      Cristiano Ronaldo, mocked-up in the new Man Utd kit, will earn £50 million from his Red Devils return
      A source said: “In his heart, he only ever wanted to go back to United.”
      The superstar, who already has a personal fortune of £500million, stunned the football world yesterday with his return to Old Trafford.
      He is heading back to the Red Devils just as he seemed set to move to arch rivals Man City.
      The Portuguese idol shot to fame in his first spell at Old Trafford before leaving for Real Madrid in 2009.
      And we can reveal he had been in secret talks for months over the lucrative deal to leave Italian giants Juventus.
      ‘WANTED TO COME HOME’
      A source said: “Cristiano was keen to secure a good deal because he is still one of the very best footballers in the world.
      “But in his heart he only ever wanted to go back to Manchester United. He told the club he wanted to come home and now he is home.”
      Ronaldo, whose glittering first spell included a European Champions League and three Premier League titles wins, will put pen to paper on a two-year deal worth £480,000 a week, or £25million a year.
      He is expected to earn millions more in a cut of replica shirt sales, having apparently made sure he will again wear the famous No7 after making a fortune from his CR7 brand.
      Currently back in Portugal, he is expected to fly into Manchester this weekend with Argentinian model girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez, 27, and his four kids to look for a mega-mansion near the city.
      Yesterday, it emerged his mentor and former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson — who signed him as an 18-year-old and has a special “father and son” relationship with him — phoned to urge him to return.
      Sir Alex, 79, hopes it will get one over City and help restore the glory years.Red Devils chief Ed Woodward also spent two months wooing the club legend before the huge coup.
      Former United defender Rio Ferdinand revealed he phoned and urged Ronaldo not to sign for City.

      A source said: “Talks with Cristiano have been going on behind the scenes for about two months.
      “When it became clear he wanted to leave Italy, United were determined to get him but wanted to keep it as quiet as possible.
      “They also never believed Cristiano would ever be willing to sign for City.

      His lucky streak continued as he gambled with team-mates, in a party organised by the club’s chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.
      The Thai businessman is said to have hired the Park Lane Casino in London’s Mayfair, and was handing out gambling chips worth £1,000.
      Leicester’s 1-0 victory followed their FA Cup triumph over Chelsea three months ago.
      A source said: “Aiyawatt hired out the casino exclusively and the team travelled there immediately after winning the Community Shield.
      “When they won the FA Cup back in May Covid restrictions were still in place, so this was a double celebration and they had a great night.
      “The entire team was on a high, and everyone were in great spirits, enjoying having a few drinks and trying their luck on the casino tables.

      “Aiyawatt, who is known as Top by the team, was handing out £1,000 chips and Jamie walked away with £30,000 after a run of luck. So that was a nice bonus for him.”
      Aiyawatt is said to have blown £200,000 on the celebrations.
      He inherited the club from dad Vichai following his tragic death at 60 in a helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium in 2018.

      It comes after the couple were also photographed together at the Wimbledon finals last month.
      David and Sian posed alongside British model Jodie Kidd, 42, food critic William Sitwell, 51, and his wife Emily.
      British heavyweight icon Haye retired in 2018 following consecutive defeats to Tony Bellew – but will be putting the gloves back on next month for the first time in three years.
      The former cruiser and heavyweight world champ, 40, will return to the ring to settle a booze-fuelled BET with his pal Joe Fournier, 38 in Los Angeles.
      The couple are thought to have enjoyed a holiday with friends – including Fournier – on the glamorous Greek island of Mykonos earlier in July.
      In a post on his Instagram on July 19, they appeared in the same group shop along with the caption: “What an amazing week hanging with @joefournier and the crew in #mykonos …. Until the next time!”

      Last month Sian stepped out with Haye at Wimbledon on the same day that he was also pictured alongside his son, Cassius, but they are yet to make the relationship official.
      An onlooker said: “They both seemed to really enjoy one another’s company and appeared very relaxed.
      “David and Sian clearly bring out the best in one another and it’s wonderful to see them so happy.”
      In a picture posted on his Instagram dated July 16, Haye can be seen wearing distinctive baby blue and pink trainers and a t-shirt under a floral jacket.
      He is pictured in the same outfit walking alongside Sian.
      The model has appeared on magazine fronts in the UK and Middle East and was the poster girl for an advertising campaign by Chinese brewery Tsingtao.
      It is thought that the pair met after Sian started modelling for Haye’s Black Mask Company which he launched in July last year to cash in on the Covid health boom.
      She also appeared in several episodes of hit American TV show Project Runway.
      David divorced from his wife of eight-years, Natasha, in 2016, before being snapped with his new girlfriend Lucinda Johnson just a few days later.
      The hair extension firm boss was at his side just days after he and wife Natasha ended their marriage with a quickie divorce.
      His marriage was plagued with problems after the former world champion cheated on the mother of his three children with a former stripper in 2011.
      David and Sian were both approached for comment.
