Butterbean_Canary 0 Posted February 12, 2010 I have read that Tom is up for the ''Championship Manager Apprentice of the Year award'' and I am confused as to what it actually is,Tom has played a small part this season but surely Korey Smith would be far more suited for the award if it is for a youngster doing well?I may have missed the point to what the award is, does anyone actually know what it is for?

Jacko 0 Posted February 12, 2010 I think you have to be in your second year of apprenticeship or a first year professional. Korey has been on the books longer than this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suspect there is also an aspect that Tom is a high achiever outside of football as well; the award could be for all round success rather than just on the pitch.

Yellowfuture 71 Posted February 12, 2010 If it`s bringing in educational achievement and disciplinary record as well then he must have a very very good chance of winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
