Pete Doherty's Concerns Over Money-management Issues....

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty is unhappy with the way the band's finances are managed, insisting the rockers are not as wealthy as they're made out to be.

Doherty claims the group's management is to blame for their lack of money, and he plans to look over their financial arrangements to see where they're going wrong.

He tells Mtv.co.uk, "We've got a few concerns at the moment over issues with management, where the money has been going (and) distribution of wealth.

"We need to sit down as a band and talk about the future. What's happening and why, when and who with. Two years of arseing about, we could actually make money out of this job.

"I've just realised people are always saying to me 'yeah but you can afford it' and I'm like 'what's making them say that?'" However, Doherty's concerns came as a shock to his fellow Babyshambles bandmate Drew Mcconnell, who responded, "Do we?" when he heard the singer's rant.

Meanwhile the rocker Pete Doherty is considering scrapping the songs he's already recorded for his forthcoming solo album - because his recent spell in jail has forced him to re-evaluate the musical direction of his new release.

The Babyshambles frontman was released from London's Wormwood Scrubs prison last month (May08) after serving 29 days of his 14-week sentence for probation violation relating to his previous drug and driving offences.

And he admits he is keen to start his album all over again by travelling to Portugal and Paris, France to find inspiration - if only he wasn't barred from doing so by his bail conditions.
