Side hustle

Not sure it is a side hustle if you agree a contract, especially as a footballer without the fame of those like Kane, Ronaldo and Sarah etc, where a disproportionate percentage of your total payment from the club goes to your image rights company.

Not saying they all do it, but many do (HMRC were already investigating for a while). It's not illegal, but it is is immoral (IMO).
