    Delicate balance, if you’re trying to sign a player and competing with other clubs getting on the wrong side of agents isn’t helpful. Need to pay going rate without getting ripped off. If a club encourages players to dump their agents then few in their right minds would go near us.

    Aye, suppose that’s how they hold the power. Still sad though

    Mental that the agents fee isn't paid by the player they represent only. A rule change there would go a long way to fixing football.

    It's a FCA law thing been around for years.
    Loads hated Methven but he stopped all agents commission paid direct, he had a way of it coming out of the salary.
    I think its still in place.

    Aye, players would soon stop using them or use ones with reasonable rates!

    Much rather bits not get leaked tbf. It shows its professional.

    Remember the days of D&M leaking stuff all the time like excited school girls, its not a good look!

    <laugh> fella you get into some circles I give you that.

    I don't see the RS deal taking much longer at all, even though his agent has tried to drag it out for as long as possible. Not concerned about it now.

    If the tight ship continues to help us sign players like Cirkin, Hume, Alese and Clarke then crack on!

    Makes this thread a quiet one at the minute, though.


    That would make it take off. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    You reckon we should start to see movement on the transfer front mate?

    Kyril often isn’t there these days, you’re right no players were mentioned.

    Is KLD less involved day to day now than he’d been?

    not concerned by that, he was always way more hands on than I expected and it’s only natural once the building blocks were in place that he could trust them to get on with it

    Good.

    We need him, there’s zero chance we will sign a better striker than him.
