June 12Jun 12 Slow day at work, so reflecting on last season. My lad wont kick a size 5 until preseason starts on 06 July. In the 25/26 season we've done well over 4000 miles in away games for his club and trials- add home games, training and county games... could be pushing 5000. He has trials with clubs in every division from Champions League to National League North. He's had rejections from most, offers from some and just ghosted by others. He's smashed it and told no, had a stinker and told yes... I have discovered nepotism is rife and disappointingly very close to home; I also know you need to keep going, that as one door closes another may open. He will take that lesson from this season if nothing else.This weekend is the first I have no football as a coach, parent or fan since June 2025. I am knackered- physically and mentally. I will post details of his next team when its all finalised... at that will be me done as a parent in kids football after 16 years with two of my kids.
June 12Jun 12 In other news, Lancs U16 have won the quadruple this season; basically National, Regional and Northern champions, plus another. Greater Manchester only entered one, and were eliminated unbeaten due to Merseyside lodging a complaint- but still its a great achievement 😂Bolton clubs come under Lancs, but schools GM as far as I can remember.

July 2Jul 2 Does he also get his PFA card now too? Massive for him if he does! Opens up all sorts of opportunities in and out of the game

Opens up all sorts of opportunities in and out of the gameI think he can become a lifelong member now- bloody unions eh 😂 I applied for a job there last year (similar to what I do now), so I know he is entitled to a voucher for boots etc. He can also ask to join their workplace pension scheme; they probably won’t offer it until he’s 22, but I’m urging him to ask. He’s kicking off he has to pay MADMAX, so it might appease him. 16 paying into a pension… we can both retire when he’s 40!
