i'm more surprised it's not going to be called the World Premier League Series Level 4

I think it was in 2000 that our manager John Coleman sent one of our forwards to America for the summer. Gary Williams had been injured and missed some football towards the end of the season. He went to play for New Jersey Barons to get fit in time for the new season.

I'm still hoping for first team. Do they make much money? Maybe they would come over for a change of scenery and some extra cash. But we wil welcome youth players too!

is that the John Rooney who is Wayne Rooneys little brother? I'm not surprised if so. He had only played a handful of games for Macclesfield (same league as us and roughly the same sort of size club) and never acheived anything in terms of experience or stature. He was watched by a few bigger clubs, probably more interested in the link with his brother and whether talent ran in the family, but nothing materialised. You should rally gain the experience to fulfill whatever talent you have before upping sticks in that kind of manner.
