The dread of pre-season training looms large 09:43am on 11 Jun 2009 post 64 . Hello mate . Great to hear from you . Hope the family is well . Must find a way of catching up properly and as for the login name , you are far too harsh on yourself!.
The dread of pre-season training looms large 3:12pm on 10 Jun 2009 post 54. that half time pie might seal the deal!.
The dread of pre-season training looms large 3:11pm on 10 Jun 2009 post 52. I think most players who are out of contract have to go wherever the work is and therefore you cant rule anything out.
The dread of pre-season training looms large 2:52pm on 09 Jun 2009 post 3 . Not sure what the managers would think of that idea but as for a diary of what the days consist of in pre - season , that sounds like a good idea.
The dread of pre-season training looms large 2:51pm on 09 Jun 2009 post 4 . What you suggested is certainly part of the idea I have for the soccer school . It is not to try and find the next Wayne Rooney. The actual ability level of the players will be irrelevent . The idea is for the kids to enjoy playing football , make friends and to enjoy improving their skills .
The dread of pre-season training looms large 2:43pm on 09 Jun 2009 post 14 . In terms of your 11 - 12 year olds I would not worry too much about getting them in shape . Any fitness work you do want to work on try and make sure it all involves a football . I have always found that 3v3`s etc will help their fitness and also help their football skills .
The dread of pre-season training looms large 2:38pm on 09 Jun 2009 post 8 . Nothing concrete to report at the moment. As for the process , sometimes agents approach players and sometimes it is the other way around . I don`t actually have an agent so I am going down the road of contacting people I know within the game . There is also the list of released players which is distributed to the clubs which I hope will lead to something.
The dread of pre-season training looms large 2:32pm on 09 Jun 2009 post 10 . Thanks Jaredw. Fingers crossed the takeover goes through . I always said that Notts County would be the ideal club for someone to invest in and it would be great to see the club progress.
One of the lucky ones 8:03pm on 14 May 2009 post 19 . Thanks for the offer!.
One of the lucky ones 8:01pm on 14 May 2009 post 2 . A few weeks before the end of the season , all the lads who are out of contract are given a form to fill in . On the form you put your details and the positions you can play in . That form is then circulated to other clubs so they know who is out of contract .As for working with my old man , been there, done that and we would both agree that we get on better when we don`t work together!.
