Hope it sticks, of course the world’s smartest tape worm mino riola is preparing to take legal action.
More to be done but good start π

I would have gone one stage further if it was up to me…. in my mind, agents are in the same group as lawyers, accoutants, PA’s etc… (basically Arsenal’s!) and if the player wants them, then the player pays for them.
Every single penny.
Sure, the agent can do all the negotiating and whatnot, but it all get’s paid for out of the players pocket, by the player… somehow I don’t think the players would be shelling out so much, do you? π
It’s actaully very simple plan to get rid of the agents, just have every club agree to the above… (okay, harder than it sounds!)… but that would knee-cap the Arsenal’s once and for all.

Chucky, how would that solve anything though? Don’t you think it would just be called something else like a signing-on fee? Ie, instead of Raiola saying to Real Madrid “I want 30mil agent’s fee to get this over the line”, he’d surely just say “Erling wants 30mil signing-on fee to get this over the line”? The money would get to the agent in the end regardless if it was just a case of saying that the solution to this would be that the player, rather than the club, pays the agent.

“heβd surely just say βErling wants 30mil signing-on fee to get this over the line”
But would erling want it?
You make a good point though because while I find it hard to believe players would hold clubs to ransom for sake of lining their agents pocket with an inflated fee, that is actually pretty much what happens now.
Why can’t clubs just say to erling, look, the less that tape worm has the better fir you and your new club?
Why do agents seem to be in control of whether a player signs a contract?

That’s the thing Eddy, if the clubs all agreed to simply stick together and say “this is the fee being paid between the clubs, this is the signing on fee, this is the salary… and player x is paying y amount to agent z out of his own pocket”, the agents couldn’t do a thing about.
If clubs refuse to pay the agent, then there’s nothing the agent can do!
I’m sure we can both agree there’s about 634 ways to get around the new “rule” as it is anyway…
Granola, or whatever his name is, is pure flith, and absolutely believe that any player who “signs” with him is in it purely for the money… don’t want neither anywhere near my club…

Presumably because they think it’s to their benefit Lucky.

How it’s on erlings best interest that riola makes makes much money as possible is beyond me

As you say, that’s exactly what happens now, which I think suggests that whose pocket the money is coming from is not really the problem here while ever footballers are happy to pay the likes of Raiola huge sums of money. He is happy doing that now, clearly, otherwise he’d leave him and get a new agent.
If clubs refuse to pay the agent, then thereβs nothing the agent can do!
That won’t happen though will it? Players, on the whole, greatly benefit from having agents. They don’t care one bit that an agent gets millions as long as the agent acts in their interests also. Ie if Haaland gets the move he wants with the wage he wants and any other bonuses he wants, he doesn’t care what Raiola gets. Otherwise, why is he happy to be represented by him?

As long as Raiola is making as much money for Haaland as possible Haaland won’t care Lucky.

I get that nine but the total money a club can spend on a player is limited and so surely the more the agent gets the less that can be paid to the player ultimately?
Maybe agents should only be able to earn a % of the players wages but are there other industries where agents can behave like this and seemingly work for client and potential contractor and play them both against each other with the ultimate goal not to get the player the move he wants, nor getting the paying clubs the player they want, but getting the agent the highest fee possible!
It’s just barmy

Ed, that riola and his ilk would take legal action over this does suggest capping what the clubs can pay in fees will make it slightly tougher to extort to the degree they do now.

It might be barmy Lucky but that’s where we are as the Ed said above
“They (the players) donβt care one bit that an agent gets millions as long as the agent acts in their interests also. Ie if Haaland gets the move he wants with the wage he wants and any other bonuses he wants, he doesnβt care what Raiola gets. Otherwise, why is he happy to be represented by him?”
Too much money is going out of the game to Agents though especially the Super Agents and some sort of regulations are needed.

Yeah lads the agents are dead against 10% caps, therefore the caps must make extortion harder for them.
Logically speaking caps 0% would be even tougher.
I don’t get why they would threaten legal action if it is going to be as simple as getting the same money out of the players anyway.
Only one side should be paying them, banjo right on that imo

Footballers believing its their best option is one thing nine, that it actually is the best option is another…

Yeah Actors for instance pay their Agents personally typically 10% of what they earn. I don’t think Clubs should be paying Agents it really should be the players.
