Crosswind,
any thoughts on my post?
By the way assuming that all sponsored cadets are of the same calibre as "selected" trainees is a large assumption. Methinks that the selection criteria and process may be different.
Put simply, if a schoolboy is selected to join (the mighty) Arsenal FC then is he on a par with the lad signed to (no hopers) Spurs?
