Louis Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 He made his debut against Everton a few years ago for Chelsea.. 21 year old had to retire from playing due to a re-occurring knee injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Chelsea have paid for him to take his coaching badges and have offered him a coaching job for life at the club. They get taken the piss out of but they look after their own very very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Don't know what Chelsea's academy coaches earn but the realisation that he's now going to be making in a year what he thought he'd be getting every week must be a bit of a downer . Tough break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 tough break indeed but great to see Chelski doing that if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Is he the one who won that SKY football talent x-factor type programme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough break. To be honest I don;t think he'll care about the money at all. Not being able to play football will kill him. at that age I don't think the money will have hit him that much, actually playing the game will have been the important thing. A real shame becasue he looked a good prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Is he the one who won that SKY football talent x-factor type programme? I don't think so no. Pretty sure he's been at Chelsea from a fairly young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea apparently offered to pay for him to go to Uni to study anything he wanted, which would then be followed by him getting his coaching badges (if he wanted them) But apparently the stipulation in this offer was that he had to go to Uni first. Seems a sensible path really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
