Stevie G was next to him when he signed. Hes 12 now and still there. No idea if he's any good though Grandsons 8 years old and a goalkeeper at Liverpool FC Academy in Knowlsey, the facilities are unbelievable. He gets very well paid and well looked after, he regularly gets to meet Klopp, Salah, Trent Arnold etc etc. The lad loves it & i can’t say i blame him, it’s a dream gig for an 8 year old.

At that age, I think I'd prefer them to be playing just for the love of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 they are notorius for it; been fined a couple of times. they pay 'expenses', list parents as scouts, and offer salaries which go into savings accounts. nice butties at their training ground though, from the anfield wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did plenty of playing for fun with his mates before he signed for LFC Once they sign for a club that kind of goes out the window, the kid becomes the clubs "property" He enjoys it though make no mistake.

Mounts Kipper Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Can’t ever understand how BWFC have operated with regards kids, should be bending over backwards to make kids & parents feel part of the club, ffs it’s just good manners and common sense, just hope the new owners understand this and know the lengths other clubs go to to make kids & parents feel part of the club.

Moderators Casino Posted February 12, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think if parents are having to put themselves out, the likelihood is the kids are in that possible group Rather than the probable/exceptional group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
