    You know he's only a few years away from hawking a vacuum cleaner or playing for KUPS. This thread is getting soooo much better than when we had only to discuss his on field game.

    "The Golden Service" sounds a little sketchy if you ask me. Sounds a little too much like something The Donald might be interested in.

    haha, omg. Access to Elite Dog Breeders listed twice. Did you know they offer Access to Elite Dog Breeders for all of your Access to Elite Dog Breeders needs? If you come without Access to an Elite Breed of Dog, you'd better go home and bury your face in your Ikea sheets because your Image and Brand and entire Vitality is meaningless without an Elite Dog Breed.

    Combine that with Business Management Tools and Modules and you have a complete business plan. Wish I thought of it.
    Seems like he posted a stream of consciousness first draft.
    Someone told him to write down everything he likes to do and he thought they said post it on twitter.
    Another thing, why can't the gold membership card also act as the welcome card. Why 2 cards to increase overhead.

    We don't need more cow bell we need more dog breeds.

    Are you questioning the business plan of CEO Otasowie?

    I just hope he reconsiders his over emphasis on dog breeding within his lifestyle concierge services portfolio.

    My favorite is the wrong "there" in the second picture. It's simple, but always gets a laugh out of me. Like how elite can the service be if they don't bother with simple proofreading.

    Kind’ve a shame to see from afar. Easy to imagine that he’ll reach a point where he regrets walking away from a game for… this. Hope he finds his purpose and enjoys what he does.

    Completely fine if that’s not soccer, but whatever that concierge service is seems like a shallow pursuit. Business plan seems to be: I’m a very cool globetrotter and you could be too for just $65 a month. Who knows what the service actually entails but my guess is just paying to get people Instagram followers and party invites.

    Whatever, it’s not my life!

    Seems like the young man has surrounded himself with all the wrong people. Very sad.

    Or maybe he is the wrong people. Either way, it truly is very, very sad.

    Everything I hear is just bad. Tough family history (parents were never around and was raised for periods by aunts, friends, etc), lots of lackeys, an agent who is more his “friend”.. he’s never, once had the right people around him to guide him. Just people who want to use him.

    He’s probably never gonna amount to anything, but from what I hear, the wrong answer, soccer or another career, is going back to England (or his area of England).

    With this said, I just want to thank my Mom and Dad, despite some human imperfections were always there for me and were involved when I needed them throughout my life.
    Now that their gone and I hear stories like this I silently thank them everyday for their love, support and holding me to a high standard.

    It's precisely what I think about when I'm dealing with my 6th and 7th graders. So many have terrible attitudes or limitations or exhibit the lack of good parental love. I'm thankful my folks encouraged me to be myself albeit hugely annoying.

    Imagine how gifted you have to be to appear in the Prem despite basically not taking the game seriously as a kid OR as a pro. Wild.

    Yeah, he is certainly a naturally gifted athlete. Also, 6' -2 - 195 lbs and ripped. I guess that helps him on the runway and with the influencer crowd.

    Went back and read the first 10 pages or so of the thread. Amazing that so many people were absolutely gushing over him. Definitely seems to have had enough potential, but something or some combination of things have held him back (so far).

    It is indeed amazing how many gushed over him. I hope Otasowie will not be forgotten by the folks that love to demand that X teen player should be integrated immediately into the NT.

    For soccer fans, he's making it pretty easy to be forgotten as he really isn't actually playing much soccer these days. I'm not on these boards to follow social influencers or part time models, that's my 15 yo kid's job.

    And it's your job to bring the hammer down on that - NOW.

    The Internet is to them like the TV was to us. Times change. Remember when our parents hated our music?
