Manchester City academy chief Jim Cassell admits he doesn't get a breather in his job during the summer.
"Our recruitment people are as busy in the summer, if not busier, than they are during winter on some occasions because of all the tournaments, so there's no rest there.
"The boys that do get the break are the coaches, because what they do is structured around the playing season. I think a lot of staff envy them because they get a little break in June, but the rest of us are around.
"The education people here make sure that the boys attend exams, Barry Poynton and the recruitment staff attend tournaments and I'm here to link up with everyone."
