It'd be interesting if someone looked into the following:

A - Why are certain academy players being pressured into signing with a certain agency?
B - Why does this agency employ Les Reed's son?
C - Why are this agency's clients being paid disproportionately to their academy colleagues?
D - Why did Les' son only start as an agent when his old man got into a position of more power at Saints?

Plenty of interesting digging to be done there for someone with the time and wherewithal to do it...

I've been sitting on it a while with the intention of doing it myself, but if anyone else fancies it - crack on.

Blimey, that’s somewhat concerning. Don’t like the sound of that at all.
 
I too knew about A and B but not C and D.

He's fully taking the piss out of us and that's sackable reasons on its owners imo.

How the **** has he been allowed to have that much power?

Have a word with one of your journalist mates, surely one of them would like a scoop like that? Or is there something in the pipeline...

Guess that's what happens in a power vacuum. We have a part-time chairman, an owner (now two owners) who live out of country, we had a weak (relative to most organizations) CEO position which has apparently been eliminated. Who there is an active enough participant and has enough power to stop it?

Very true. C and D is absolutely shocking though and his position is completely untenable now imo.

**** it....

KRUEGER, REED AND PELLEGRINO OUT!!!!!!

Indeed. Pellegrino for performance, Reed for his actions, and Kreuger because a chairman who either doesn't know or doesn't care about Reed's actions is being negligent. You cannot claim to be representing the interests of ownership while allowing one of the most powerful people in the organization to take steps to enrich their family at the expense of the owners.

I’m going to the rugby writers dinner on Monday night, but I’m sure there’ll be some crossover journos there. I know some people in sports radio too that might be interested, if you’re okay me having a few conversations DTLW?

If all that’s true, it’s an appalling abuse of power.

Sounds like you’ve done the groundwork DTLW, you should break this as soon as possible!

Not a disrespect meant to DTLW here, but if you have that information then surely other journalists close to the club would have the same knowledge.
The Adams (echo & bbc) Peach, Crook etc

Why have they not made any more of this?

There's so much more I could say, but if I did so publicly then we'd really be getting into murky territory.

Trouble at mill and seemingly no one set to report a word on it. Not sure it's genuine ignorance or something more, but either way it's not healthy.
