With the benefit of insider knowledge and information, you can soon see the perils and pitfalls behind every success story. The Manual will look at the riches on offer for the best youngsters to join the top clubs and look at some of the tactics employed to persuade kids and parents to switch sides, it will look at the lengths some clubs will go to as they try to snap up the best youngsters. The manual will also include the work of the agents - why the best youngsters are sought after commodities. Why agents will go to great lengths, promising boot deals, big money contracts and riches for the parents to get the best young players to sign with them. They will stop at nothing.
