To be fair, the article has been amended by the BEP - it originally said he was a current player.

What a shame how it’s all gone. Might be a case of too much, too soon. No idea how much they pay junior pros, but i would imagine it is a fairly competitive market, with those good enough to have earned a contract known to other clubs who might be prepared to pay the compensation to the developing and turn a players head for another ten grand a year. So maybe they are rewarded quite well and with little to do with the cash other than get off their nut of weekend lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
