    Liverpool banned from signing Academy players!

    Liverpool have been done for tapping up a schoolboy from Stoke and banned from signing Academy players for 2 years (plus a fine):

    https://www.theguardian.com/football...rs-fined-stoke

    Liverpool, who accept the sanction, have been found guilty of speaking to the player and/or his family prematurely and of offering inducements....

    I have no evidence at all, but I suspect this is common practice by the big clubs. Liverpool made the mistake of getting caught.

    I suspect you are right.
    Mind you, a 2 year ban seems a little harsh to me, considering the FA must be aware what goes on.

    Hell of a lot of pressure on the 12 year old to be any good now.

    Football is big business and these youngsters are the merchandise. They will soon get thrown in the trashcan if they don't measure up.
