Tony Bloom is the same age as my son, and my grandson is an adult now. All births post 21 years old.

My take is different to those expressed so far: I read it as saying "I have a fixed term contract that expires by 2030. It would be presumptuous of me to assume that Tony will necessarily want to give me another contract at that point"; ie a touch of expressed humility. Note the word 'expressed'

Can't blame him. He could take retirement now, couldn't he? If I'd earned the sort of wedge he had (and he has most definitely earned it), I'd spend my retirement doing sports tours following various English/British teams around the world, drinking champagne (in pints) and doing lines off of strippers' arses.

Ambitious, driven people don't look to retire. He could go on another 10 years after that here, or elsewhere.
He would be a good person to have in the independent regulator for men's elite football though.

Let’s worry about that in 6 years, eh?

Yeah but he won’t be able to draw his state pension….so might have to carry on a bit longer …maybe a customer service role somewhere
Gives him 4 years to semi-retire and drive an Uber or deliver pizzas before he gets his state pension

It will probably be something like this :
“First of all I would like to give all those on North Stand Chat, and those fans who keep bombarding me with with complete inane and trivial questions about nothing of any consequence, one gigantic F*** OFF! The number of late nights I have wasted on composing mind numbing email responses to those complete gormless tossers really has done my head in.
So, adios you muppets, I won’t miss you. Right, I’m off to watch Spurs for a bit of light relief.”

I think my content is not too shabby but thanks for the vote - It’s good to be the favoured candidate for somthingI vote @Zeberdi purely based on wordcount
Reckon PBOBE will take early retirement- contract out his executive services or do something entirely different and buy a vineyard in Tuscany (and have RDZ over occasionally for pasta )
You’ve just described how @Thunder Bolt is spending her retirement.

And still keeps to a weekly budget which I think is remarkable.

His final ‘out of office’ email will probably cause most computers to crash, if not end civilisation entirely.

I wish although forget the strippers. They’d catch their death of cold.
