I hate personal brands.
Except JM’s case where it actually has a purpose other than profit.

JLings should retire from football so he can focus on rebuilding his clothing brand.
Gus Fring's spoilt bastard son who grew up with his stripper one night stand.Looks like a pathetic Gus Fring.
He'll make that back in a few weeks pretending to be a United player.This is the kind of nonsense that prevents a footballer from being the best they can be and serving their club properly.
Knowing Gus Fring, I don't see that happeningGus Fring's spoilt bastard son who grew up with his stripper one night stand.
That is fair.There are quite a bit of startup costs depending on how much marketing and product you make up front
And what exactly is your connection with Gustavo Fring?Knowing Gus Fring, I don't see that happening
I've said too muchAnd what exactly is your connection with Gustavo Fring?
A dramatic drop off in form during the same period?I don't understand the problem myself?
An aftershave and Lingard has no beard to shaveOne gander at his website is all you need to understand exactly why he's just haemorrhaging money on this sad excuse for a brand.
Adding a shit name and an even shitter logo to generic george asda hoodies and t shirts is not gonna turn you into the next Ralph Lauren. Especially when you're a no mark z-list Prem footballer with no personal fanbase to speak of.
The aftershave is still the most desperate part of it. 'Smell like Lingz'. The cheapest tackiest looking box and bottle I've ever seen. £45 reduced to £16. Hilarious.
AWB should start a contraception range - "nothing's getting past this bad boy"just watching a giggs interview with United stand and immediately he talks about the new signings being just footballers, and that's it.
I’d say his crap form has a lot to do with it also.One thing I have noticed, since Ole has come in and "spoken to" Jlingz about that stupid beanz video, he has been a lot quieter on social media as have in fact, most of the team. I certainly haven't seen any more beanz videos. Perhaps he needs to design some beanz hoodies with Rashy modelling them for him....
Ok but Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time and has a legitimate claim to be the greatest sportsperson of all time.I don't have any problem with his taste in clothes or style. He can dress how he wants (I recall Michael Jordan used to love style from the 1920s). The only problem is if a player starts believing their own hype before they've really proven anything, a la Cleverley. And it can also be a bit childish when you buy into a self-created brand/myth (Ince "call me the Governor" bit).
I didn't bring Mike up in relation to branding - he is obviously the archetype of that. Just in relation to style. Who cares about other people's style? It's a bit pointless. Branding is a different matter. You can do it sensibly, or you can buy into your own hype which is a disappointing display of character.Ok but Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time and has a legitimate claim to be the greatest sportsperson of all time.
Most of these guys haven't proven anything yet.
Sort your real career out first before branching out.
Jlingz would need to have that hat surgically removed from his anus if Keane was still in that dressing room.
Yeah, that's our problem. Too many people who want to be famous and football is just the way they can finance it.just watching a giggs interview with United stand and immediately he talks about the new signings being just footballers, and that's it.
Read those posts again. It was in reference to personal style - something no one should give any fecks about. And Jordan was a brand before he won titles.Any reference to Jordan is ridiculous.
You know what sold the Jordan brand? Michael Jordan winning trophies.
It’s probably something he’s passionate about, rather than just something he wants to make some money off of. Lingz clearly takes a lot of pride in his appearance and his dress, so I think it’s a safe assumption to make that this was more about something he’s passionate about rather than a solid investment.I'm shocked his clothing brand is doing poorly.
And that's not a knock on his dedication. There are more fun ways to burn through money. If you want a solid investment, why not stick your earnings in a simple fund and forget about it?
Who buys this stuff? Kids?! It's like branded t shirts for YouTube celebs. It must be for people who buy them by accident.
"Aw.... thanks.... nana. Yeah, yeah honestly this was exactly what I wanted... He's a footballer, nana. Well, I mean, if you actually do still have the receipt I will take it."
Wish he was as passionate about football tbhIt’s probably something he’s passionate about, rather than just something he wants to make some money off of.

Does the stuff he hawks look like something anybody was passionate about while creating it?It’s probably something he’s passionate about, rather than just something he wants to make some money off of.

Looks like the type of stuff that could get you beat up where i live.Does the stuff he hawks look like something anybody was passionate about while creating it?
Did you think the timing of the launch a few days before Liverpool away was good?Football is a very short career. It pays well but as an adult you also have to think about life after your footballing career. I see nothing wrong with any of these brands to be honest. I honestly dont see how having a side business should affect your main job. A lot of people do it everyday. We make it seem like its hard to play football while also doing other things. Humans beings are very capable of multitasking and still producing excellent results. I dont believe for one second that Lingards performances would be different if he didn't have his brand.
I don't understand the problem myself? It's essentially players just lending their names to companies creating products. Been done in football for years.
