There has to be something tangible in it for us, I am not sure that Thomas would do this just to put Robbo's  "kids through college".

I would love this to be a front for the club to get its people into the Emirates and run a covert operation to ensnare Nimer.

best thing i can see coming out of this for cafc is one of the kids parents is mega rich and gets interested enough to chuck a spare half a billion our way

Don't overlook the benefits of working with the university of Greenwich. They have sports facilities and residential spaces right next to Sparrows Lane and are able to offer student placements to overseas players.

This is not mega millions or instant but it's network building for the long term

My son is booked in to the spring holiday camp, and he is loving it... got to say, Robbo is doing a great job. Was great to see 30 odd children all in Charlton kits running around here in Dubai. I believe he over 200 kids on the books over here, across different camps and sessions he is running. 

The older group he is coaching has played a few games against a couple of established academy's and did pretty well.
