I’m glad they do this. I was watching an interesting American documentary series called 30 for 30 (it’s about sports but interesting even if you’re not into sports) and they had an episode called broke. It was insane how many sports people went broke. I think it was nearly 80% of NFL players were bankrupt within five years of retirement, usually due to a combination of dodgy investments, hangers on and buying stupid tit. It makes me wonder what the statistics are for professional footballers over here. The ones who don’t get cushy BBC jobs or do gambling ads anyway.I thought clubs made players get good financial advice now to plan life after football as so many have ended up broke when they retire.
I’m actually wondering what Jack would do if she become a big success. Like if her Diva mate became head of the BBC or something and Jack was inexplicably given a well paid cookery show. I’m guessing she’d buy a massively tacky, Mrs Bucket style house and wreck it with expensive hoards. The Patreon would no doubt stay up though.
