No1Fan.club recently recorded our first in-studio podcast episode for The Real Sideline Expert, where we tackled the often-taboo subject of money management. This was a fantastic opportunity to discuss an important topic that affects families managing their finances, particularly within the football industry, with the invaluable support of Cadro, our No1Fan.club platform sponsors. In this episode, I sat down with Jamie Kahn and Jordan Buck from Cadro to explore the financial challenges that families face and how crucial it is to have a solid plan in place—not just at the end of a career but also during it. There are many horror stories about footballers facing financial struggles. Research by XPro, found that three out of five Premier League players declare bankruptcy within five years of retirement. This highlights the importance of being proactive and making informed decisions about spending and saving. We also discussed breaking down the stigma surrounding money discussions and why open financial conversations are essential for everyone. Whether you’re a parent supporting a young athlete or someone looking to manage your finances better, understanding how to navigate this landscape can make a significant difference. It's fantastic to have Cadro as our sponsor; their involvement helps us highlight important financial topics and helps families understand how to gain essential money management skills.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our latest report, in partnership with Sifted, ‘A founder’s guide to M&A in Europe’.  M&A can be a transformative experience for founders and their startups - but only with the right knowledge and understanding of how the best possible outcomes can be secured from these opportunities.  With M&A set for a rebound in Europe, this guide seeks to empower founders with the knowledge they require to maximise the potential of an acquisition - from preparing your business to be bought and negotiating deal terms, to navigating life post-acquisition.  It was a pleasure to extract insight from our expert M&A network, including Partners David Bettis, Daniel Jacob and David Baverstock, as well as Claudia Rowe Principal Balderton Capital, Chris Malcolm, Managing Director and European head of technology investment banking Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Chris Wildsmith, Nataša Williams  Co-founder and CEO Cadro and Benjamin Ullrich Partner at YPOG.

I'm excited to announce that our vibrant No1Fan.club platform is now live at www.no1fan.club This project has been a team effort, and I'm incredibly grateful for the support from family, friends and mentors, who've been there every step of the way. Just like phase one of the project—launching the original app, and now phase two—switching to a new home while still continuing to create new content, has been a massive effort and a huge learning experience. A big thanks to all the parents/guardians who've shared their experiences and the industry professionals who've contributed their expertise. Your input has been invaluable in getting our platform going. I'd also like to acknowledge my bestie Kat Chidiac, an original co-founder who's moved on to develop a new project but continues to support our mission. Thank you to Jamie Kahn and the team at Cadro for sharing the vision and valuing how essential education is for families in football and supporting us by becoming our first Sponsors. We aim to positively impact the mental health and well-being of young football players and their supporters. We believe this platform will become a ‘go-to’ independent resource for many families in the football community, whether at the start, during, or later stages of their football development, from grassroots to elite levels. If you're connected to youth football—whether as a parent, coach, owner of a grassroots club, work in an academy, or other industry professional or potential sponsor—I'd appreciate you all sharing our platform with your networks, to help me grow the community and support more families. This is just the beginning, and we're looking forward to growing and improving with your continued support. Thanks for being part of this journey.
