I was amazed at the prices he is charging for a few days training

My son Franco loves the Chelsea Footie Schools at Battersea Park and they are great value at 60 for a 5 day course with qualified coaches and academy boys helping

In fact they can even play at Cobham

This however it seems is only for sons of Rich Russians or Sheiks as even though they get half of Adidas's training gear - is still an outragous amount for a 5 day course for an eight year old

I don't mind paying the club as it benefits us all and the youth set up with a chance a few local boys may get spooted also

But to pay so that Mrs Beckham can spray herself with the best orange tan going is something I'd rather steer clear of!!!!!
