Couldn't more big earning stars do with a strong guiding hand?

This 'wonder kid' has a very bright future or does he?

[aelmpvw]

a nineteen year old from a poor background on a six figure salary ... what could go wrong?

[ummmm]

I can't see it being a bad thing. At 19, growing up in a slum the amount he earns could be overwhelming.

I bet he gets plenty of pocket money as well.

A fair point Sqad.

I'm not sure about the father's role either.

At 19 he is an adult and should be taking responsibility for his life.

[andy-hughes]

I would agree in principle that a young man needs some strong guidance when catapulted into the onerous world of professional sport, and I hope everything works out for him.

At 19 he is a young adult and should be aiming to take full responsibility with the help of his parents/famil
