On CL this week that Ian Dowie had suffered a heart attack recently, fortunately he's recovered well.
Sorry to hear about Dowie's heart trouble. Was a useless gaffer for us, but I'm sure fans will wish him well in these circumstances.
Dowie's bankruptcy might be related to his heart problems. When some people become seriously ill they may lose the ability to earn, yet still have outgoings that they then cannot cover. I don't know the details. If his running out of money was not related to his health, then tough luck. If there is a link, I feel sorry for him.
