ALL the better, well not really. But I guess the 100 or so members of team GB who got a medal, will earn a lot less than the England team who have won bugger all for 50 years. I read Laura Trott with 4 gold medals gets £65k a year from lottery funding as a wage. Rooney makes that by January 3rd. If only the FA were as good as the Olympics team management.
My son goes to a non fee paying school, 2000 kids. He's really good at rugby.(most of the school team play for the local team anyway) The school has 7 football coaches but not one Rugby coach. They are coached by 5th and 6th years. They got into the last 200 or so of the national schools cup, a bit like reaching the 3rd round of the FA cup. Drawn away at Newcastle Grammar. The school pulled the plug, said it would be too expensive to travel etc and they would probably lose anyway.
The football first team still got their 4 days training at Manchester united though, even though they have never done anything.
