Gosh.. I didn’t know that those kids (or rather their parents) have to fork out thousands of pounds in order for their kid to walk out with a Premiership Football team!!
As reported in the Guardian, some charge as high as GBP3,500 for that “privilege”!! Come on… clubs are already making money from ticket prices, TV rights, etc.. do they have to squeeze another few thousand quids from these kids?
