Credit to him for going for so long without one, but concerning for the future.
I honestly believe we can cope without Alan Browne. Losing Davies or Pearson for me would be a much bigger blow. I really like Alan Browne he is always up for it and he really puts himself about but we really need more than that to get to the next level.

It’s a very sensible move for Browne......I didn’t know he and his partner had a baby due so he has to concentrate on that and playing football.....let the agent deal with the riddler.
The transition between being a Baluga boy and a new Dad could explain why his form has dipped.

As Yoowell alludes to, I think this will have more to do with the fact that he's due to become a father anytime now.
An agent does a lot more than just sort out contracts, so it's a logical thing to do IMO.

He's also way off his best form. Flat lined.
Should add I'd be very upset to see him leave as we know how good he can be, but he hasn't grabbed a shirt in the side and made it his own and (for longer than just this season) not been anywhere near his best far too often. But this news says to me time to maximise your salary so I absolutely assume he'll be looking for a move.

This paragraph is the bit that concerned me most. Does he now see a lack of progression/ambition At the club? IF so, he is stating something that lots of fans have been saying for ages.
“I felt I was with a club where I was happy and could clearly see the progression,” said Browne. “I thought then I didn’t want to be at any other club so I didn’t see the need for an agent,” he added.

Maybe he’s fed up with being played in different positions.
Just an excuse for me that.
It's not like he's miles out of position, in fact what is his position? Because Daniel Johnson has shown is all a different approach and Browne hasn't staked a claim on any shirt at all really.
I'd assume it means he is off. He has always said he never felt the need for an agent. With a kid due he needs to look after his family's future though so it's understandable
A kid due?
What about the Beluga?
Yes I'm sure improving his recent form would help, but with 200 appearances at this level, a reasonable goal scoring record especially last season,a Republic of Ireland international and all at a young age. I'm pretty sure Quorum sports will be innovative enough to promote their new asset for big bucks.?If (that’s a big if at this point) he does want a move then he’ll have to start playing much better than he has been.
