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

A - Why have I been told that there 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 allegedly 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.

I notice this thread has been posted on Twitter this morning, will we see the fur fly now? Is there actually anything illegal going on or is it just unethical behaviour? We may soon know!

I mean why not investigate it? I appreciate you posting your bits on here, and you don't strike me as someone who would post that stuff like that forum unless you were pretty convinced of the validity of the claims. I didn't mean get Les Reed sacked on hearsay and rumors - but why not investigate the claims you've heard? You're as well connected as anyone and you seem to be one of very few people aware of this situation. If what you're saying is true then I can't imagine it'll be too hard to find an ex youth team player (or their parents) that have left due to Reeds actions and is willing to give more details on the matter.

Of course abuses of power happen, and usually they are left unchecked. But there are circumstances when people can do something about it, for example having a (potentially) corrupt Executive at a Premier League football club.

I think DTLW is wanting to take care of his own reputation, along with his current and future positions

Now if this is all true, then as much information needs to fall Into the hands of someone who has an emotional tie to the club of, say 44 years; someone who stands to lose nothing (like someone who was a ST holder until very recently); someone who isn’t scared to question a point and doggedly keep questioning that point until they get an answer; someone who can be polite but also a little bit gobby and occasionally full of themselves; someone who could use the full Force of their passion in a creative way; someone who won’t let go.

That someone may take this up and start sending mails.

Any ideas????

Ps. @- Doing The Lambert Walk you should see my letter to my son’s headmistress!!!

Your son has more than one mistress? Dear God, man. Get some control. As for the job application, if it said "can be polite and a lot gobby" I'd go for you. I simply don't fit the age profile so we need to keep looking, it seems, unless we compromise on gobbiness.

Am I right in saying this agency is the one Benali, Le Tissier and possibly Gordon Watson are involved in, and players including Jack Rose and Bailey Owen are involved in?

Welcome Harriesss...... I’m wondering what made you post and if you’ll join in a discussion? :emoticon-0105-wink:

Didn't just come out, in fairness. Both DTLW and Beefy have been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs on this for at least two years now. Just that people are now discouraged enough with our management to listen.
