A veteran broadcaster has been axed from his radio program after just six months in the job. Ron Wilson's stint as 2SM breakfast presenter came to a sudden end this week. He had only joined the station in January after a decade-long stint as a newsreader on Smooth FM. 'Thanks for the ride 2SM. It while it lasted,' Wilson posted to Facebook on Thursday night Despite the parting shot, Wilson, 70, insisted he left the station on good terms. 'They had an option on the contract just to give it a try out for six months, and that's exactly what happened. It wasn't quite what they were looking for,' he told the Daily Telegraph. 'So we decided that it is probably best we leave it where it is for the time being.' His photo and bio have already been removed from the radio station's website. Wilson has worked in the media industry for five decades, including 33 years with Channel Ten, where he was best known as an evening newsreader.

Former Premier League football star 'is declared bankrupt' - but says at £2million mansion he had 'no idea' about legal ruling
A former Premier League footballer who has been declared bankrupt is insisting he had 'no idea' all his valuable assets could now be seized. Lee Clark, 52, an ex-midfielder for Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham, said yesterday from his £2m mansion that he was oblivious to the risks. This is despite his bank accounts and savings now being potentially earmarked to pay unsecured creditors, if the debt is not addressed. The petitioner was a finance firm called One Stop Business based in York. Mr Clark told the Mirror from his house in Jesmond, Newcastle: 'I have no idea. I have no comment to make I know nothing.' The former player made 200 appearances at Newcastle United before moving to Sunderland in 1997 after signing a £2.5million deal. But his decision to war a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Sad Mackem B*****' at the 1999 FA Cup final angered a number of fans. He then moved to Fulham before a brief return to Newcastle. Following the end of his playing career in 2006, Mr Clark managed Huddersfield, Birmingham City and Blackpool, spending time in Sudan and Oman. His son, Bobby, went on to play for Liverpool before joining RB Salzburg. News of Mr Clark's financial situation comes after ex-football ace Trevor Sinclair also declared bankruptcy last week. Last year, the Mail revealed Mr Clark regretted wearing the 'Sad Mackem B****d' t-shirt that ended his Sunderland career. Speaking to Mail Sport, he said: 'Of course, I've got regrets. It was like biting the hand that feeds you. 'There were no camera phones then, just the old disposable ones and a few cameras clicked and it came out a few weeks later. It made my position at Sunderland untenable.'

Trevor Sinclair, part of India's coaching staff at AFC Asian Cup, declared bankrupt
Former England footballer Trevor Sinclair has been declared bankrupt after a judge accused him of 'burying his head in the sand' for failing to pay a five-figure amount related to his media work in 2021 and 2022. Sinclair, a 2002 World Cupper with the Three Lions, joined the Indian men's team as part of its coaching staff during the AFC Asian Cup in Doha, Qatar, in January 2024. However, the team failed to score any goals and exited in the group stage after losses to Australia, Uzbekistan, and Syria. The Englishman is currently part of the coaching staff of the senior men's team of Jamaica. Sinclair, who played 360 Premier League matches for clubs like West Ham, Manchester City, and Queens Park Rangers, was issued the bankruptcy order at Central London County Court on June 12. The court heard that Sinclair owed £36,424 to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), including more than £13,000 related to his work as a television and radio pundit. Judge Caroline Wilkinson presided over the case and granted the bankruptcy order in the former player's absence. She stated, 'Mr Sinclair is not in attendance today, and no proposals have been put forward for paying his debt. In the circumstances, the court finds that Mr Sinclair is unable to pay his debts as they fall due and it will make the bankruptcy order.' Sinclair has yet to issue a public statement regarding the bankruptcy.

Ex-England World Cup star Trevor Sinclair declared bankrupt over £36k tax bill
Former England international Trevor Sinclair was not in court as he was judged to be bankrupt after failing to come to an arrangement to pay a debt of more than £36,000 Former England international Trevor Sinclair has been declared bankrupt after racking up a debt of more than £36,000. The 52-year-old failed to pay taxes and penalties that he owed. The ex-Premier League ace 's debt related to punditry work undertaken in the 2021/22 tax year and was previously handed extra time to come up with a solution. But he did not turn up to court on Thursday after failing to come up with the money or offer an alternative proposal. Judge Caroline Wilkinson said HMRC had not heard from the former QPR, West Ham and Manchester City player. That lack of contact saw the conclusion that he is 'unable to pay his debts as they fall due', report the Independent. A judge in April, at the Central London County Court, heard Sinclair owed the money after his accountant passed away. The figure emerged in relation to two sums that totalled more than £13,000 in addition to outstanding National Insurance and penalty payments. HMRC had wanted a bankruptcy order on that occasion but the case was adjourned to give him longer to pay the bill. Lawyer Robert Lee told the court at that time that Sinclair was conducting media work and was "currently in receipt of a job offer in Saudi Arabia". Lee said that his client's debt arose due to an error that saw Sinclair "being considered self-employed when he ought not to have been". But the HMRC lawyer revealed on Thursday that Sinclair had again failed to make contract and asked the judge to confirm their bankruptcy petition. The case was initially paused to offer the opportunity for Sinclair to enter an 'individual voluntary arrangement' rather than bankruptcy. Judge Wilkinson said: "Mr Sinclair is not in attendance today and no proposals have been put forward for paying his debt. In the circumstances, the court finds that Mr Sinclair is unable to pay his debts as they fall due and it will make the bankruptcy order." Sinclair started his career at Blackpool before the Seasiders earned a record fee from QPR in 1993 to move to the Premier League. In 1997, Sinclair earned the goal of the season award for an impressive bicycle kick from outside of the box. In 1994, the Republic of Ireland attempted to call up Sinclair ahead of the World Cup in the United States but he was unable to feature for his mother's homeland having already represented the Three Lions at under-21s level. It wasn't until 2001 that he earned an England cap and ultimately four of his 12 outings came during the 2002 World Cup and impressed for the Three Lions on the left.
