My youngest has just been signed to Dirty Leeds, the coach there was telling us that a 12yr old from Sunderland has just been signed by Man City, they obviously can'y pay the 12yr old so they are giving his mum 75k a year and paying for private schooling for this kid...., makes you wonder how many of them they do this for
A nice new reliable car for mum / dad to take the kid to training :nod:Quote:
