And as you can see from the photo, Rania and I thought we'd pay tribute to one our personal favourites, Downton! (Actually a photo from our last Christmas party but thought it fitted well!)

We started working on the NextGen Series a little over a year ago, and for someone whose life revolves around football, it has been an amazing project to be involved in. Starting with 16 of Europe’s finest clubs, the tournament captured the imagination of the fans and the media almost immediately and game by game, NextGen grew to become one of the most exciting competitions to grace the 2011/12 season. With MacLaurin colleagues I travelled Europe, following the games, getting a chance to see the behind the scenes action, and meeting some of the best football writers from the continent.
I genuinely believe youth football as a whole was scarcely written about before the NextGen Series and its arrival last season excited fans and journalists alike by giving them the chance to follow some of football’s rising stars. You could see people’s faces light up when they spotted the players that showed outstanding individual talent, and it got everyone debating who would make it as the “next Messi”.

Last week saw the launch of the Close My Deal web app by international negotiator Clive Rich.
