The depth of an ocean... the depth of someone’s heart --- Patrick Evra is the best left-back that Man Utd has ever had. With him, this Fergie team continued its domination in England and Europe until he left a year after Sir Alex Ferguson retired. This 5-time UCL finals player is tough as hell. The son of diplomats, a breadwinner in the literal sense because he grew up in the streets of Paris, and a racist combatant – he then started his dream of joining the Sicilian club. It turned out he signed a contract with the Mafia. Patrice became their property – at £50 a month. The club didn’t pay him for five months. His flat was a disaster. Sometimes he and the team had only one meal per day as well. Then one day, his mom came to visit him. “What are you doing here?”, she cried after learning about the situation her son had to endure. Patrice replied, “Mommy, I just loved football.” Whenever he was training and playing the game, he was scared that the ref would blow the final whistle... Because he didn’t know what to do afterward. “I’m back to the reality.” (Everything has its end). - You've been lied to if you think you should only do marketing when it’s completely measurable or quantifiable. Because that makes a lot of valuable things you can do to distinguish yourself are rendered impossible. Therefore, measure what you can. But don’t demand that you measure everything. #directmarketing #emailmarketer #emailmarketingfundamentals #storymarketing

Fair Game UK's conference on Tuesday was full of thought-provoking sessions and a great opportunity to meet and mix with a wide range of football people concerned about the future governance and financial sustainability of the beautiful game. Particular highlights for me were: ⚽ Hearing from interim COO of the Independent Football Regulator Martyn Henderson talk about what his organisation will and, as importantly, won't, have powers to do once established under the Football Governance Bill going through parliament ⚽ CEO Niall Couper's impassioned exposition of the eight key issues Fair Game UK believe still need to be addressed under the Bill - with support from Fair Game's legal expert Simon Orriss of Mills & Reeve. ⚽ Presentations by Aaryaman Banerji of the Civitas Think Tank, and Dr Mark Middling and Dr Lisa J. Ferguson of Northumbria University on the need for better governance and ownership models in English professional football. ⚽ Being able to hold AFC Wimbledon's official replica of the FA Cup trophy their predecessor club won in 1988 beating Liverpool Football Club 1-0 at Wembley - a game I went to as a Liverpool fan. ⚽ Seeing the amazing ground and facilities AFC Wimbledon have built at the old Plough Lane site, developed and financed primarily by their fans as one of the very few community owned clubs in the English men's league pyramid. ⚽ Representing LCP at the conference, along with colleagues John Parnis England and Ashley Mould, and our friend and associate, EDI expert Buki Mosaku - and discussing with many conference attendees how we can use our expertise to support better football finance and governance. With yesterday's news of an election on 4 July, will the Bill come into force before then? It looks unlikely, with parliament being dissolved on 30 May - but with broad cross-party consensus in support of its provisions, it looks certain to be adopted at some point in the next year or so. #fairgameuk #footballgovernance #financialsustainability

Why did England fail to win the Euros and what can we learn from this? We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Focusing on your strengths and improving your weaknesses is the only way grow to the next level. From a football perspective, I think Gareth Southgate and his overly cautious approach and more defensive style of play, was what limited England to being runners up twice. To win a tournament, especially a final, you have to dominate your opposition and impose your style of play on them. With only 34% possession it was hard for England to get a foothold in the game, and they were reliant on just “nicking it” in the final minutes of the game, which was the negative way they had played throughout the whole tournament. It felt like the Managers’ weakness of being cautious, reflected in the way England played. Being seen in the public domain, has always been my own fear and weakness. It might be hard to believe, but I am actually a very introverted and private person! To the point, where a couple of years ago, I even had to be convinced by colleagues to put my profile photo on Linkedin, never mind posting on here! However, I knew I had to get away from this self-imposed limitation and accept that if Baked Earth is to become a household name, which has always been my aspiration, then I have to take centre stage and be more public. The next stage in the journey is for me to post a recorded video of me talking, which actually terrifies me! Yes, talking on camera is actually one of my major phobias! In life, business and football, we have to confront our fears. Overcome our weaknesses. Take on our inner demons. Or else, live with the regret, of what could have been. The choice is yours. And yours alone.
