Yeah good point. Actually I often dreamt that if I was a multi millionaire I'd bankroll for example 10 junior Spanish coaches to travel around the country and train our coaches purely on developing player technique. They in turn would pass this on to teams they coach between 8-12 year olds.

Unfortunately I'm not a rich man!

Funny, I have had similar thoughts if I won the Euromillions. Sigh.

I'd also become the new Ollie at Shels.

A bonn again Ollie?

Damn straight. I look forward to medal-ling in their affairs.

But what club would you pick? You don't have a local club etc. Har dee har har. :)

I could transform a junior club into a Senior League or Intermediate side, and then buy our way into the LOI.

But i meant more so about coaches, i would also buy a whole load of south americans and arrange visas, and disperse them to clubs like Athlone and Sligo and Longford, and only allow them sign if they bring over their sisters.

I know you did. We could yet arrange a Termonbarry Superleague between us all.

I very much like the second part of your plan.

I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I've been told his attitude stinks. He went training with Harps, snubbed the offer of more training. Then Harps turned him down when he wanted to come back.
According to Declan McIntyre, Coll is not quite as good as people make him out to be. After working with him at international level, supposedly Shaun Patton of Harps under 19 team is twice the goalkeeper of him.

Happy enough with that to be honest. He'll only be playing Ulster Senior League with Derry this season anyway. 3rd choice keeper for the first team.

i really wanted to read that but the white on black text after 10 hours sitting in front of a pc is just too difficult. Actually even after 1 hour id say its too difficult read white on black background.

They also have red on black which is even worse.

However if the article is anything like the web page design it just saved you from reading a pile of rubbish!!

called into the FIFPRO team for a tournament in Norway: http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/former-united-keeper-gets-coll-ahead-of-fifpro-trip-29893597.html

The pun in that article is so bad it could be one of mine.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but it sums up the sheer reality of the life of a professional footballer. TBH, they are welcome to it and their aspirations and determination are to be admired.
