Minus the flair 

U21s look decent though but bit shit in the age groups below

Kaden Braithwaite. Hes vice captain of city 18s as a first year scholar  and has captained city and England u17. Hes 2008 born so for  International competitions plays at u17. Stephen Mfuni england u19 centre back, same age group as Kaden was also at bolton for 3 years. They both left when greasy Ken arrived and the academy went downhill.

Point of order. It's sweaty Ken 👍

Chucked out my "no ken do" t shirt a couple of weeks ago. Never managed to get slim enough to fit in it. Whoever sized up the extra large must be a proper vegan.

Tournament in Euxton this morning with the u10s. 

 

8am meet 🤐

Our Johnny took his trophy in school today. He’s telling everyone it’s the Balon d’or. Great effort from all at the  club mate and well done for remembering every kids name, an achievement in itself! 
 

Back on to Salford Boys: wanderers have stopped a lad in Billys class going for trials. Pathetic really ain’t it. 

Not quite the truth! Wanderers are happy for him to play it’s his parents who aren’t. They think it’s to much footy 🤷🏻

Kinda get where they coming from- burnout is a massive thing, but I suspect it is a parent thinking about a career than a boy playing for fun.

i loved watching my lad at this level- decent standard with less pressure; more enjoyment, and still an honour.

i have been asked to run a team at this level, and I’m seriously considering it for a 3 year term

My mate did a town team for a season and I helped him a bit. Loads of the academy lads dropped out of selection at the last minute because they were getting called up to play in higher or lower age groups academy games at short notice. Was a nightmare to organise and some of the academy heads frown upon town teams as they think its injury risk. When my lad played Bolton were OK with it, united and city wouldn't let their's play, liverpool and Everton would.
