If Pep gives us another Arsenal 2nd place finish he needs to get a knighthood

You've been studying cybersecurity for 3 years and still feel like you know nothing. Someone else has been doing it for 1year and is already finding bugs in real systems. Is the gap talent, methodology, or something else?

I think this is the most insane thing the CIA has ever made public. 😨 They have a secret AI tool called Ghost Murmur. It detects your heartbeat from 40 miles away using AI. Not your phone. Not a tracker. Not a radio signal. Your heartbeat. It uses sensors built from synthetic diamonds to lock onto the electromagnetic fingerprint your heart produces every single beat, then pairs it with AI to filter that one signal from 1,000 square miles of noise. Last week, a wounded American pilot was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran. No phone. No tracker. No way to call for help. America found him anyway. From the sky. By listening to his chest. But nobody mentioned the most important detail. This was Ghost Murmur's first operational use. It's been sitting classified for years. Tested. Ready. Waiting. They didn't reveal it to impress you. They revealed it because the rescue was already public. Every technology a government admits to is the one they've already moved past. Your heart has been broadcasting your location your entire life. Someone just built the receiver.

If you’d genuinely choose Manchester United over Arsenal and Chelsea again in another life, retweet this 🥹❤️

@tryhackme Might be a little late to the party bbbbbbbbut, what changes it?

The OWASP LLM Top 10 exists for a reason. AI systems have their own attack surface and most security professionals haven't had a practical way to learn it. That changes soon... 👀

@israel_ajoje Fair. How do you suggest players go about situations like this? I mean, he was young and there was no way he was going to wear the number 9 jersey ahead of Zlatan I am of the opinion that on-field decisions like these shouldn’t affect off-field business.

@meetekk he had a brand name attached to it and had probably got contract based on them. It might have been a big deal

Most footballers retire with nothing that continues to generate income once the football stops. Not nothing in the bank necessarily, but nothing working for them after their last contract expires. An estimated 40 percent of professional footballers go bankrupt within five years of retirement, according to Xpro, the organisation that helps players adapt to life after their playing career. That statistic should disturb every player reading this. It means four out of ten players who earned professional wages end up broke within half a decade of their last match. The career was the ceiling. That is the problem personal branding solves, when it is done correctly. This is not really a “How to Build a Brand’ thread. It’s simply a “something to consider” thread. Before a player can build a brand, they need to at least own one and properly manage it. One of the ways to do that is via Image rights. Image rights are the legal right to commercialise your own name, likeness, and identity separately from your playing contract. Most small players sign them away without thinking about it. Under the standard Premier League employment contract, the club's use of a player's image is limited to no greater usage than the average for all first team players. What this means in practice is that unless a player has negotiated a separate image rights agreement, the club cannot commercially exploit the player’s specific identity beyond what they do for every other player in the squad. For a player with a commercially viable brand, this is money left on the table every single season. The players who understand this set up an Image Rights Company early in their career. That company holds their commercial identity, licenses it to the club and to sponsors separately, and crucially attracts a more favourable tax rate than salary income. It is not a trick reserved for elite players. Any professional footballer with a profile worth commercialising should have this structure in place. Take it from me. I in fact wrote this for African players. This next part is for them. The average Premier League annual salary across all 511 players in the division is approximately £3.5 million. That sounds like generational wealth cos it definitely is. But a career lasting ten years at that average, after tax at 45 percent on earnings above £150,000, after agent fees, after the lifestyle that professional football demands, produces far less than most players assume when they sign their first contract. A player from Nigeria, Ghana, or Senegal who’s out loooking for commercial sponsorships enters this system with one additional disadvantage. Sponsors evaluate audience size, audience purchasing power and market penetration when selecting ambassadors. A player from Nigeria, Ghana, or Senegal does not automatically have access to the commercial infrastructure that a European player inherits simply by playing in a visible league. The brand has to be built deliberately, with a clear identity that exists independently of the club, independently of the league, and independently of performance on any given Saturday. Sadio Mané earns approximately $4 million annually from endorsements, with sponsors specifically citing his community investment and charitable work in Senegal as key factors in their partnerships with him. He built a brand around authenticity in a market where no European footballer had ever made themselves genuinely legible to African audiences and Western Union built an entire international campaign around real money transfer transactions between him and his uncle back home. That campaign was not built on goals. It was built on identity. And that identity travels with him regardless of which club employs him. That last sentence is the point. The endorsement deals that follow a player from club to club are always more valuable than deals tied to the badge on the shirt. If your commercial identity only exists because of where you play, you have not built a brand. You have borrowed one. Which brings us to what happens after the playing days end. Because this is where the planning either pays off or it does not. David Beckham paid $25 million for his Inter Miami stake in 2014, exercising an option negotiated into his 2007 LA Galaxy contract. By 2025 that stake was valued at approximately $1.1 billion, a 4,400 percent return in just over a decade. He now earns an estimated $30 to $50 million annually from sponsorships, licensing, and club revenue, more than a decade after his last professional match. Beckham is not an average case. He’s an outlier. But the principle behind his story is available to every player. A clause negotiated at the right moment. A brand identity built independently of any one club. A deliberate decision, made while still playing, to treat the football career as the platform and not the destination. The players who are comfortable at 50 are not always the ones who earned the most at 28. They are the ones who understood that the earning window is short, the spending pressure is enormous, and the only way to outlast both is to build something that generates income after the final whistle. Forty percent go bankrupt within five years. You do not have to be one of them. Please, be wise. My name is Ajoje. I am a FIFA Licensed Agent and International Sports Lawyer.

@israel_ajoje I still do not see how or why that was so big of a deal

@meetekk Yeah, exactly. It was one of the reasons

@SartorialNotes What exactly is taste? How does it differ from style?

Bad taste is: Sneakers with business suits Knit with a zipper Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts Slim-fit / Oversize Fun socks

Never wear: Trousers darker than the jacket A baseball cap with tailoring A dark suit without a tie Anything but a black bow tie with a dinner jacket A button-down shirt with a business suit

In England, top 4 is no longer the goal. Top 5 is. Everyone is talking about fifth place getting Champions League football next season. Nobody is explaining why it is actually happening. You know I will always tell you. What happened is that UEFA expanded the Champions League to 36 teams in 2024 and created two extra spots called European Performance Spots(EPS). These spots go to the two leagues whose clubs collectively perform best across all three UEFA competitions every season. England won that race last season. England is winning it again this season. The fifth spot is the prize. To determine the winners of this EPS, UEFA adds up every win, every draw, every round of progression by every English club across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, divides it by the number of clubs involved, and ranks every league in Europe. Right now England leads that table comfortably and Spain is second. Everyone else is further back. Now this part is funny. Every extra spot England earns is a spot another league loses. For example, France already dropped from four Champions League places to three. If English clubs keep dominating Europe collectively, that gap will keep widening. I have a reservation though. The coefficient system sounds like a meritocracy. What it actually does is take money from weaker leagues and redirect it to stronger ones, structurally and permanently. Fifth place used to mean Europa League and a tighter budget. Now it means Champions League revenue, elite visibility, and everything that comes with it. The top four race just became a top five race. And it is not going back. My name is Ajoje. I am a FIFA Licensed Agent and International Sports Lawyer. I write on the Law and Business of Football, a lot.
