“IN A WORLD FULL OF UNITEDS, CITYS AND ROVERS, THERE IS ONLY ONE HOTSPUR.” Yip… but who are you really?   We all know that successful brands are more than a catchy line and a logo. They have meaning. Something for people to believe in and get behind. So, when Ange Postecoglou took over at Spurs, what (other than his salary) do you think was discussed at his interview? What goals were set? What does success actually look like for Spurs?   Big Ange lost the rag this week and suggested that to close the gap on the top clubs Spurs need a total mentality shift. On this I’m with him. Some teams are happy with mediocrity (Spurs?), and others demand to be winners … you know who you are!   Ange lamented the club’s “fragile foundations”. I wonder if they’ve ever discussed their foundations or values. And if those values mention striving to win.   Quick Quiz: Any idea which club these values belong to?    Clue: They’re a leader on and off the field – in social, solidarity and financial terms… Excellence – including the professional, sporting, and institutional aspects   Winning spirit – fostered through determination, effort, sacrifice, commitment, perseverance, and self-improvement 100% commitment – a team-based philosophy Togetherness and Empathy – to achieve a common goal Solidarity – a commitment to be there for those who need it most, particularly children at risk from social exclusion Humility – we consider our opponents to be of equal merit in a showing of utmost respect, and every achievement represents a starting point to try and accomplish the next challenge https://lnkd.in/egYHxKFG #football #branding #skysports Spartans FC Spartans Network #Spurs Terry Burns Shaun Millican Keith Boyes #realmadridcf Jim Rae Steve Murray Phil Johnson John Evans #socccer Gary Neville Nick Peel

Were Bristol City Women's FC in the Relegation Battle before even kicking the ball? Bristol City's journey in the Women's Super League echoes the financial hurdles many women's teams face. Being one of just two teams left in the WSL without the backing of a Premier League side – Leicester City are the other and they are an incomparable operation – they have had to be creative in their approach. With a tight budget, Bristol City's team "off-the-pitch" is half the size of the average WSL team, and a third of the size of the bigger clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea women. An abundance of injuries this season also meant the team utilised more academy players, fielding the youngest average line up in the division (24 years, 136 days). The obvious solution here would've been to add three players to their squad in the January transfer window, but could they even afford to? Women's teams with more money generated by their men's teams are excelling against those without. For me, this poses the obvious question - is this in the spirit of competition? But it's a tough question. Limited backing from Premier League and Championship sides in the men's fame would surely reduce the growth rate of the game and therefore enforcing regulations on this would have a negative effect. How do you suggest teams like Bristol City women tackle this problem? #wsl #womenssuperleague #womenschampionship #womensfootball #womenssoccer #bristolcitywomen #bristolcityfc

„Life on Earth“ was the first book I asked for as a child, and it had a profound impact on how I see the world. David Attenborough’s work introduced me to the breathtaking biodiversity of our planet, from the arid deserts to lush jungles, from the deep seas to the icy poles. He showed how each life on this planet is interconnected and finely tuned together. I remember vividly reading about the Albatross, with its impressive wingspan, in his book "The Living Planet"; the mesmerizing dance of the bird of paradise, and the gigantic Goliath beetle as big as my palm in "Life on Earth." Each story deepened my awe for the natural world. Einstein once remarked, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle" (attributed to him though not definitively proven). David Attenborough embodies this philosophy, revealing to us the miracles all around. Today, his message is more urgent than ever as we face the sixth mass extinction. Unlike previous events caused by natural phenomena, this extinction is driven by human activity, including habitat destruction, climate change, and pollution. Researchers indicate we are currently witnessing species going extinct at rates much higher than the natural background rates, highlighting the critical need for urgent action to prevent future loss. As a conscious species, it is our duty to protect the miracle of life on this blue planet. We are not the end result of evolution but a part of it. Our future depends on the conscious decisions we make today. Humanity cannot thrive without respecting and protecting all living beings on our planet, our home. Thank you, David Attenborough, for inspiring us to see and safeguard the wonders of our world. 🌿 #Biodiversity #Conservation #DavidAttenborough #LifeOnEarth #ProtectOurPlanet

Unveiling the drama: Evangelos Marinakis and Nottingham Forest's turbulent football saga Nottingham Forest Football Club, under the ownership of Evangelos M. Marinakis, have become synonymous with controversy and confrontation in the Premier League. Recently highlighted by their contentious reaction to VAR decisions after a defeat to Everton, the club's aggressive stance continues to stir discussions.

Marinakis' tenure at Nottingham Forest reflects his previous experience in Greek football with Olympiacos FC, where he dealt with success as well as controversy. His approach often involves a high turnover of managers and a robust response to competitive challenges, which has been mirrored in his management style at Forest. 3: What are some specific examples of Marinakis’ impact on the club's strategy and operations? Since taking over, Marinakis has overseen a large number of managerial changes and player signings, pushing for quick success.
