Yeah, although I think in this special case where the money and fame is so
much greater than most other professions (at a very young age), that the management - perhaps not only the club manager but the whole staff - should also perhaps advise / help the parents on how to deal with it.
After all, the club has a lot of experience and has seen kids go right and wrong, but most parents don't have experience with having Premiership footballer sons (Neville Neville aside)
