The Economist and The Athletic are two digital publications I try to read daily. Each week, I’ll share two articles that caught my attention; one from each publication.

The very modern model of modern masculinity

The Economist recently appraised Ben Stokes’s captaincy of the England cricket team, weighing his successes, his shortfalls and his standing as “a model of modern British masculinity in all its contradictions.”

‍Elite sport has always been fascinating to me; partly because of my lack of elite talent and my relationships with athletes because of the day-job. I talk about it a bit in my book Done Deal, mentioning the sacrifice, the single-mindedness, the obsession and relentlessness that is required to even get to the top, never mind the staying power to remain there. Why people expect sportsmen and women to be perfect human beings is beyond me; perhaps there is a comfort in seeing that people in the public eye are fallible too, and that has become a popular narrative in itself.

Either way, Stokes has been transformative, played some of the greatest spells with bat and ball I have ever witnessed and, along with Brendan McCullum, revolutionised Test cricket. But pressure, as well as being a privilege, weighs heavy. Longevity is an outlier and as a result should be heralded. That’s why Stokes’s retirement is so pertinent. He is an elite athlete who endured, and who was open enough to talk about his poor mental health, therapy sessions and anxiety. That resonated with many (myself included).

Knowing the elite sporting talent that I’m privileged to work with, Stokes’s journey is another example of the high toll elite sport can take, but also of the positive impact that sharing vulnerability can bring to a wider public. As The Economist put it: “Ben Stokes helped his country feel better about itself.” More than any innings, that may be the legacy that lasts.

Real Madrid announce world-record €1.2bn revenues ‍

Chris Weatherspoon’s recent analysis breaks down the club’s incredible €1.2bn revenue figures. In comparison, the piece suggests Arsenal will likely be the closest competitors off the pitch with revenues of just over €930m for the 24-25 season.

The make-up of the figures includes an impressive €363m of stadium revenue, plus significant, market-leading Adidas (€120m) and Emirates (€100m) deals. Real are also the leaders in club Champions League revenues and have received €988m from UEFA in the ten years from 2014 to 2024.

In an era of loss-making clubs, Madrid remains an outlier that “for the 24th consecutive season, [is] profitable again in 2025-26, booking a €26.3million post-tax surplus”. It should be noted that “2016 to 2023, Madrid lost over €700m on an operating basis, though player profits generally put them back in the black. The one year they didn’t, the Sixth Street deal was agreed.”

Madrid’s evolving transfer policy has also proven lucrative for players already sold, through high sell-on fees. Those subsequent transfers have brought in significant sums relating to Victor Munoz (Osasuna-Liverpool) and Alvaro Rodriguez (Elche-Bournemouth).

Those record revenues (and profits) appear to have been put to good use to fund the transfers and wages of several high-profile purchases furnished on Jose Mourhinho including Diomande, Cucurella, Silva, Konate and Dumfries. It looks like a fun La Liga season ahead.

This week: Premier League from PSR to SCR and reducing procrastination

Explaining the new squad cost ratio rules

Although announced late last year, the new squad cost ratio (SCR) rules take effect from the 26-27 season, replacing the profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). PSR covered a rolling three-year period and limited clubs to £105m in losses. SCR instead links specific club costs (player and manager wages, agent fees and transfer amortisation) to revenue, including net profit/loss from transfer dealings (averaged over the previous three seasons).

SCR was adopted in part to align EPL clubs with the amended UEFA SCR. The key difference is that UEFA sets its cost limit at 70% of total revenue, whereas the EPL allows greater flexibility with an 85% limit. EPL clubs competing in UEFA competitions must nonetheless adhere to the stricter 70% figure.

The following thresholds and sanctions apply where a club exceeds the 85% limit:

• Up to 115% (a 30% allowance above the 85% threshold): no sporting sanction, though a financial sanction applies for breaches from the 27/28 season onwards.

• Above 115% (the “Red Threshold”): a points deduction is imposed in the season of the breach, described by the EPL as “a fixed six-point deduction, which increases by one point for every £6.5m spent over the Red Threshold”.

The EPL’s explainer note also clarifies how the 30% allowance reduces after breaching the 85% threshold:

“Where a club breaches 85%..., its 30% allowance is decreased for the following season by the same percentage as the breach, until the 30% allowance is exhausted. For example, should a club’s SCR for season 1 be 100%, in season 2 its allowance will be 15% and its Red Threshold will be 100%. If the club’s SCR for season 2 was 101%, it would have exhausted its allowance and breach the Red Threshold, thereby becoming subject to sporting sanctions.” A club can rebuild its 30% allowance by falling below the 85% threshold, though by no more than 10% in any single season. Clear? Good.

How to stop procrastinating

Putting things off, delay and making excuses to avoid doing something resonates deeply. The voice that tells you to do the easier thing, the course of least resistance is something I’ve written about in Build The Invisible. In one of my other blogs I talk about this Naval Ravikant podcast, where he quotes his personal trainer’s mantra: “Tough choice, easy life. Easy choice, tough life.”

Hard decisions are liberating. I found it activated extra levels of self-control whilst making conscious decisions on how to act, since regulating yourself is otherwise difficult. Just as the Economist article articulates, social media is so enticing as it distracts people from their underlying state. “Scrolling often delays bedtime too. Lack of sleep impedes executive function, leading to more failures of self-regulation.” The distraction loop becomes self-fulfilling. Doing the harder thing is hassle and friction. Counterintuitively, that’s why it’s so useful.‍‍

This week: how spending rules can impact transfers and how much sleep is too much.

Newcastle’s settlement with UEFA and what it means for the summer transfer window

Even though Newcastle is not in European competition for the upcoming season, the club’s settlement with UEFA incorporates a £6m fine for exceeding (i) the acceptable deviation criteria for the three years ending June 2025 and (ii) the 2025 70% squad cost ratio. The fine is, however, only part of a forward-facing set of behavioural requirementsensuring that the club can only have a spending deficit over the next three years of up to approximately €70m. The club:

• is also prohibited from registering new players on its A List unless there is a positive transfer balance; and

• faces a potential ban from future UEFA competition seasons if it does not comply with the settlement conditions.

Although the piece’s headline focusses on Newcastle, it is an excellent illustration of the competing set of financial rules that an EPL club must navigate (primarily the EPL’s squad cost ratio and UEFA’s Financial Sustainability Regulations).

For context, EPL clubs Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Nottingham Forest were also sanctioned by UEFA.

Cost controls and settlement deals are about more than the headline fine. They can spill over into transfer spending and leave open the possibility of future additional sportingsanctions if the club fails to adhere to the ‘plea bargain’.

Is too much sleep as bad as too little?

Spoiler alert: apparently both too little and too much sleep can be harmful, with the study finding that 6.5-7.8 hours for women and 6.4-7.7 hours for men is the optimal night’s sleep. Not enough sleep can “lead to a drop in cognitive abilities, increased stress and generally grumpiness the following day”.

It got me thinking about my own sleeping habits and working routines. I’m usually asleep before 11 and up around 7, (which is slightly more than the study’s optimum, though it seems to work for me), with a little more slack on the weekends. More broadly, 2026 has been a year of ingraining better habits and tracking them for accountability: time on the bike before work each morning, cold showers and more reading have all become ingrained. Indeed, writing this makes me sift through more Economist pieces, which is a useful means to an end. Just like some of my newly acquired productivity habits, I know sleep is fundamental to my recharging. Both the study’s findings on oversleeping and my own routine point to the same lesson: having a good rest ethic can be as important as a good work ethic.
