Michael Ballack's poor man routine results in a large driving ban

Last week a story came out about Michael Ballack pleading for his proposed €10,ooo speeding fine to be cut to €1000. Today his fine was reduced but it's definitely a glass half empty verdict, considering that Ballack received an 18 month driving ban from a Spanish judge. And given that he is "stuggling" financially since retiring can he even afford taxi fare to get around? Perhaps a Paul Kimmage like defence fund could be started on his behalf and perhaps if enough money is raised Ballack could even charter a jumbo jet to Spain full of character witnesses to support him? Worst comes to worst maybe he could borrow one of Kimmage's bikes.
