Premier League Players Hire Companies To Manage Their Social Media, Pay IDR 80.6 Million Per Month
JAKARTA - Manchester City star Phil Foden experienced an embarrassing event. The social media company he hired published controversial tweets that had fatal consequences.
Etihad's men beat Borussia Dortmund 4-2 on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-finals. Foden was a star in both matches
Meanwhile in other matches, Paris Saint-Germain managed to get rid of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich with the advantage of scoring on aggregate at home to opponents, with a score of 3-3.
The two clubs will certainly meet in the semifinals. Moments after the final whistle at Bayern's home on Wednesday, a tweet was sent from Foden's Twitter account to his nearly 500,000 followers.
It reads: "@KMbappe are you ready? With a handshake emoji."
The England national team players and their representatives were disappointed by the move. He also decided to end his relationship with Ten Toes Media, the company that controls his social media, according to the Telegraph.
Foden is not the only player who has hired a sports media company to control his Twitter account.
According to the Daily Mail, all Premier League stars have similar deals and pay up to £ 4,000 per month for their services.
Reportedly, some of the players did not interact with their social media channels at all.
The amount paid is determined by the level of service, which can cover multiple platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.
Joe Hart is another player who has had to issue an apology in recent weeks following an error by his social media channel.
After Tottenham were knocked out of the Europa League by Dinamo Zagreb, the former Manchester City goalkeeper posted on his Instagram story showing the result of the match with the caption: "Job done."
Gary Neville opened his voice on this issue. Using his personal Twitter account, he expressed his concerns.
“Your independent thoughts and authenticity are at stake. It's your voice, not someone else's, "said Neville.
