Contract Talks?

The shit thing is agents don't really care about their player. It's about what they can make. But like Eddie hearn. He ain't bothered that aj lost for the love of pride its more that he now can't attract as much money as before

We mustn't tar all agents with the same brush though. They're very useful in the modern game and, despite there being a few rogue agents about, the majority are very helpful for their client (player), the buying AND selling club.

Or thinking back to an interview with Steve Basham I read some time ago. His agent advised him to reject the contract PNE offered him as there was supposed interest from other clubs. There was no interest from other clubs his agent was telling lies. So he ended up out of contract and dropping from the second tier to the fourth tier of English football.

Correct. It was immediately before and after ITV digital went bust. Agent held out for more money, as soon as itv digital went, he was back on hands and knees begging for contract , but it had been withdrawn

This is true. Many of them are just doing a professional job for their clients, who need representation as clearly huge sums involved and the legal and financials inevitably go over players heads. What they take out is not always disproportionate to the deal.
 
And people forget that "normal" people use agents too, only they're called things like "Financial Advisors" and "Recruitment Consultants". There's good and bad ones of those as well!

Didn't he have his leg broken by Koumas around the same time hence his fitness for the championship was in doubt so PNE let his contract run down.
 
Colin Murdock is also an agent. In Jonny Evans' move to Leicester, the transfer fee was £3M. Colin demanded £4M fee for his services.
 
Anyone think this is dodgy. Super dirty agent Raiola has his ban suspended. I say dodgy because one of his clients has a huge money move on the horizon(De Lit) and he's all of a sudden allowed to work outside Italy. Money in the correct pockets??????? Or genuine???? Seems dodgy to me and it's as though FIFA are just as bad as him.
