The photo's from the upcoming tv show Pastor & Pimp: Clothes Detectives.Rashford and Lingard are dressed like a couple of pimps. Made me think of Gator from 'The Other Guys'.

It's a charity that aims to get other footballers to do the same. Do you think 10% would have lots of other people signing up? We're really criticised people for being charitable now.I keep seeing this Mata 1% thing, do people realise that's only £10 in every thousand he earns. .
If you think this is charitable giving you really need to assess your own. Borders on shameless self promotion to me. There's plenty of footballers who donate far more than 1% of their salary and don't feel the need to be recognised for it.
We've turned into the club that I thought City would turn into, but this is what happens when you lose strong characters like Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Scholes and don't replace them. The kids run the playground. That's partly why the amount of money we spend this summer is irrelevant to me, it's about bringing in the right characters and most of those would be nearing the end of their careers rather than at their peak.
Mata's possibly one of the only footballers that uses his brand name for good. He should be absolved for all criticism to be fairIt's a charity that aims to get other footballers to do the same.

You can question their commitment in training, which you’ve never seen, because they have other ventures outside of football? Beckham was one of the most hardworking footballers I’ve ever seen, he was also the footballer the most brand orientated footballer probably ever, the two aren’t exclusive,I think you can question commitment to those training sessions and matches though.
To release a clothing line suggest there’s an air of ‘made it’ especially when it’s based on your name and shirt number.
Maybe that kills that extra ounce of motivation or desire to achieve? Who knows. So yes they could be neglecting it.
To me you're just quoting the good example that fits your view. Memphis would be another bad example, so its never black and white.You can question their commitment in training, which you’ve never seen, because they have other ventures outside of football?

Or are only the best footballers aloud business outside of the game ?
They have a short career in the game, I’m pretty sure they’ll have managers who will encourage them to do it
I never get the reasoning behind posts like yours! Contributing 1% of weekly wages every week, especially for a PL footballer is a huge amount. Sure, the amount he donates eventually may amount to 75k or so, but keeping it at 1% means that more people can join in without this donation becoming a burden.I keep seeing this Mata 1% thing, do people realise that's only £10 in every thousand he earns. .

Their brands won't be successful if they don't back them up with great performances, so, if anything, it's an additional motivation for them.Maybe that kills that extra ounce of motivation or desire to achieve? Who knows. So yes they could be neglecting it.
David May Superstar - Now that's a brand I'd love to dye my hair withWho on earth will buy JLingz brand? It would like turning to the treble celebrations with David May's shirt.
This is the concern. I'm just absolutely puzzled by the how little business sense it makes to start your own clothing brand as a player.Playing for United is just a vehicle for creating a brand. They don’t give a flying feck about the club.
Exactly. I wonder if Tom Cleverley still has a brand today.Footballers doing brands is laughable
Let’s see how Lingards range does when he is playing for a club like Southampton or Watford because none of the big clubs would be in for him if we finally realise how overrated he is an move him on.
Lukaku aftershave I wonder if it stinks as bad as his performances?
Got to say....this is extremely dappa!JLINGZ
Should there be some sort of clause in every Manchester United contract, banning their involvement in any kind of outside commercial interests until the team wins a prespecified number of trophies? Good luck with that. Not like we need to make this rebuild any harder than it is already.So are we giving average players a platform to promote themselves as they know they won't be at United for long, or are we allowing talented footballers to pursue other interests outside of football as we know they're capable of winning trophies in the long run?
No, as I've already said, it doesn't really bother me that they have outside interests. I think I would probably have an outside venture if I were a professional footballer because there's no reason why I wouldn't want to experience another work environment and have a productive escape. However, what I don't understand is the business sense it makes to do something like a clothing line. Let's break it down for a second and look at the details:Should there be some sort of clause in every Manchester United contract, banning their involvement in any kind of outside commercial interests until the team wins a prespecified number of trophies?

Admit it. You’re pissed off with them all so it pisses you off seeing them having interests other than playing football. That’s fine. At least it would be honest. It’s never going to change though. Not at Manchester United, or at any other football club. So it’s pointless getting wound up about it.
Not really but someone would have pointed it out as hypocritical if we didn't include him in the conversation as he has his own branding.Surely Mata’s doesn’t belong
You mean you don't want to smell like the failure of Europa league? His marketing people seem to think people will like itImagine buying and wearing Romelu Lukaku cologne?
Maybe the club gets a cut? Who knows?Personally I feel like its partly the club that encorages these things. It cannot be a coincidence that these players started these lines whilst at this club.
Pogba, Lukaku and Sanchez specifically.
I bought a TC23 face moisture gel back in the day, but no heck in hell I’m buying meself a JLingz candle-set.
