Young men who are trying to make it

Don’t make the same mistake I did.

I spent too much time thinking I had more time.

one day you’ll thank yourself for the work or wish you’d done more of it.

Every early morning, every late night, every sacrifice compounds. The days feel long, but the years move fast.

Build the discipline now. Future you is watching.

[Mr BillsPaid. @FemiCEO]

Go where you’re wanted and valued.

That’s my advice to any non-league player.

Don’t choose a club just because the name, level, or league sounds good when you say it out loud. Choose the place where you’re trusted, appreciated, and given the chance to play.

A season is too important to waste.

[Coach Michael @CoachTalabi99]

To many delusional players and delusional coaches misleading these players aswell

[Daniel Tester @Daniel_Tester85]

Seen a lad state wants step 5 football

Just looked him up
4 appearances 2 starts
And 1 start in their 23 set up

Lad go and play, why are so many youngsters turning their heads at Step 7 football.

Just because no floodlights doesn’t mean poor standard

[Regista Football | V1 @registaballs]

We will be there with some great looking footballs

[Mr BillsPaid. @FemiCEO]

The aftercare system at professional football clubs needs serious attention.

For every player who makes it, many more are released. Too often, young men are sent into the world with little support, no clear direction, and no preparation for life beyond football.

These clubs help shape these players for years. That responsibility shouldn’t end the moment a contract does. Better education, career guidance, mental health support, and transition planning aren’t luxuries ! they’re necessities.

Releasing players without a proper pathway is risky for them, their families, and their futures. We can and should do better.

[Mr BillsPaid. @FemiCEO]

Football doesn’t reward potential. It rewards repetition under pressure.

[⚽🅣🅞🅟🅢🅒🅞🅤🅣⚽️ @toptargets]

Said this before but I look at teams with big budgets and think, its not good recruitment, its just shopping and the clever stuff is much further down the league where teams and scouts find gems that will probably end up on the big budget shopping lists next season.😉

FSG built Liverpool into Premier League champions through financial discipline and smart recruitment. Feels like that same financial discipline is now costing them their best players for nothing. As if the system is working against itself.

The most expensive player in football is not the one you buy for £100 million. It is the one you lose for nothing after developing him for years.

Trent Alexander-Arnold left last summer and Ibrahima Konaté is leaving this summer. Both to Real Madrid and on free transfers.

Their combined market value at departure is somewhere between £120 and £130 million. Their combined transfer fees received by Liverpool: zero.

FSG's model is built on sustainability, cost control and avoiding the kind of reckless spending that destabilised clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona in the past. That philosophy built something genuinely remarkable at Anfield over a decade. But sustainability has a ceiling and Liverpool are currently brushing against it.

You cannot run a financially disciplined operation and simultaneously lose your best players for free to the wealthiest club in the world without eventually asking whether the discipline is being applied in the right places and if whatever you’re doing is worth it.

Konaté brought physicality, leadership and big game reliability to a Liverpool defence that needed exactly those qualities during their title push.

Losing him forces an urgent rebuild in the same position they rebuilt last summer after losing Alexander-Arnold. That is not a squad evolving. That is a squad running in place while Madrid collect the best of what it produces.

I am not casting aspersions but I think this should leave the FSG with something to think about.

[Coach Michael @CoachTalabi99]

Pre season is the most underrated part of football.

Most seasons are made or broken before the first game.

Everyone wants the next level, but not everyone wants the grind. Go somewhere that will push you daily.

Don’t arrive at pre season to get fit arrive ready.

Lads … players have the pick of around 4/5 clubs maximum logistically and at the level required

Clubs / managers have the pick of hundreds of good players

Pick the people that pick you 👍⚽️

[Bruno Tavares @BrunoATavares]

People in football love blaming politics for everything and sometimes it’s true. But honestly, for the talent I know I have, I’ve let myself down too.

I can finally admit that to myself now.

Next season there will be no excuses. Wherever I play, I know what I need to do.

It’s funny that when all these Free Agents that are now looking for new clubs post out, they rarely ever put the Step 7 club they were dual signed to and playing for most weeks in their previous clubs section 🤨🤔 just the Step 5/6 clubs they had a few appearances for 🙄
