Just to show the utter ****itude of agents read the interview with Steven caulker in the guardian.
Perhaps the most devastating detail of Steven Caulker's interview with The Guardian was that, in the midst of his battle with depression caused by gambling and alcohol addictions, his agent and his club, Queens Park Rangers, tried to flog him to Lokomotiv Moscow.
How a man of colour, in his mental state, could have moved to Russia at such a lonely, vulnerable, emotional nadir is unfathomable. How his club could have seen only the financial bottom line is disturbing. How an agent, with a duty of care, could have self-servingly suggested it as a fresh start is despicable.
The only person who emerges with credit is Rangers manager Ian Holloway. 'He was actually telling me to stay,' Caulker recalled. 'I'd been in his office close to tears. He said, 'How anyone could think sending you there would be a good idea is beyond me. You need to get yourself right'. I appreciated him for that.'
Caulker did not go. One gets the impression he is no longer with his nameless, shameless representative, too. Anyone who is might wish to consider their options.
