Who would think that a bloke who has a short career would invest his money to prepare himself and his family for the future…..

The dislike for Kevin Stewart, a Blackpool FC player, over a few threads on here this week has been a bit uncomfortable to read at times.

I’d have no issue with him doing this if he actually did his day job. I don’t believe for one minute he’s as injury prone as what he has been this season. It’s also convenient how his injuries always coincide with trips to Birmingham/Dubai and other places, where he looks at properties. I believe his love for football has gone and we should get rid. He’s fleecing our club of probably 3/4K a week and not playing a game.

You’re obviously more aware of his future itinerary than the rest of us. Please tell us where he’s heading off to purchase properties after his inevitably faked injury whilst playing for Jamaica.

A big call that and he did have injuries before he came so it's not as if the club didn't know it already. I think Ian Holloway was after Leicester defender Patrick Kisnorbo when he arrived and didn't sign him because of his injury record, but somebody did (might have been Leeds or Norwich) and they were promoted.

Always worth remembering of course that not everyone gets an inflation busting pension after highly paid jobs in the public sector, which predominantly falls to a lucky few in the civil service and teaching. No chances of stress related physical injuries in those occupations.

Follow any of his social media’s - You’ll soon be well aware of his future endeavours. It’s not rocket science. 👍🏼

There's a huge teacher shortage in all sectors. Plenty of opportunities for others to claim their inflation busting gold plated pensions and ride the gravy train.

Just saying loike.

Yes indeed. Some teachers I know are a bit shortage but they make up for it other ways.
 
I know where is interests are and its not football
If he has a company generating that much money surely his focus is what makes him money it wont be a football club at is level
Nothing wrong with players having a business outside of football but come on where do you draw the line at piss takers
Injury prone crocks who can spend time in there real job
 
Delighted for him I think it's great he has done this. He has ben injured, he's a football player and will want to play and he's not playing for the money. When he is properly fit he is going to be a great addition to the team, I can't wait for him to be in the side again.

you know fuck all, you’re a Middlesbore fan
 
I rate the lad as one of if not the best midfielder we have, but if I was manager I'd get rid of him, injured far too often for me and this business is an unwanted distraction as far as his football career goes.

You’re wrong. He likes football.
 
Gabriel and Mitchell have outside companies too. They're clever looking toward the future.

I'm only interested in what happens on the pitch and for me, we're shy of a central midfielder and he's with us already. If he can come back from Jamaican Duty injury free and gets a run in the team. He'll be a better "signing" than Cameron Brannigan.

And, do you have any proof for the claims you are making or are you happily waiting for the solicitor's letter to arrive?
 
I have no problem with players having an outside interest in business, after all its a short career. What I'm not keen on is Stewart pissing off to play for Jamaica when he's hardly lifted a leg for us for months. Surely he could of shown us a bit more commitment. And there lies the potential problem, COMMITMENT. People will always question a players commitment to the game.

Jamaica lost against Mexico so another 2 games to go, he may return for middle of Feb but play again for Jamaice for 3 matches at the end of March.
I think maybe leave a space in squad for our returning injured players and Stewart to fight it out, so at this point a decision needs making is he named in the squad.
This is not having a go at Stewart who has every right to play for his country, but doing what is best for Blackpool fc

Was he in the squad against Mexico, or more to the point, did he get any game time?

There's an implicit accusation that he's putting more effort into business than getting fit.
 
Every credit to him for sorting his and his families futures. Seems to be doing a good job of it.
I look forward to when he comes back from international duty as he is our best central midfield player by a distance and he has been unfortunate with injuries.
Hope he gets some minutes for Jamaica and gets to represent his country too as I'm sure its a proud moment.
There, its nice to be nice about one of our own players isn't it.
 
Every credit for investing in his future wisely, many pro's have failed to do that and ended up on their arses.

However that is of no real interest to a Blackpool supporter, for the amount of games he plays we may as well have ** Rod Stewart signed on. 😳
 
It’s good to know he’s doing something productive and hopefully he’ll avoid some of the negative stuff numerous ex pros go through. It shows he’s got a good head on his shoulders. I’d imagine it’s helped his mental wellbeing having other things to focus on when he’s injured, it can be a dark place.

I’m all for players having outside interests and businesses, I don’t think it would have a negative effect on their football, I’d be more worried about the players who spend their free time on the lash.

I do fear we’re never going to see a good run of games from him with his glass ankles but that’s a separate issue.
 
He's had a few moves and been at some decent clubs, his Blackpool wage will be like pocket money to what he's been on. I too would get rid, footballers have short careers, if they want another, start it when finished playing football.

Based on the assumption he’s pretending to be injured, which is total bollocks. Just like the Madine conspiracy last season. Just like the people who claimed Lubala was pretending to have mental health issues. Miserable, boring bollock-merchants the lot of ya.

Is he injured yet?? Maybe tripped over his portfolio?? 🤣 🤣

Good to see him on the pitch, a good 25 minutes will be a good start on his old back to our first team. Brannigan's not fit to lace his boots.

And that's the truth, *if we get Stewart and Dougall fit, where would Brannagan fit?

* I know that is a big IF
