No surprise at all sinkov. Unfortunately, it will only get worse because these agents are always on the prowl and will sign lads and lassies up by giving them the hope that they can do everything for them and get them the best deals.Originally Posted by sinkov
Just reminded me Sub, I was talking to Clitheroe's new manager last week at the AGM and asked him about the goalkeeping situation. Last season we had a young lad on loan from Witton Albion and, despite the shocking season, he did OK, it wasn't his fault. Our new man said he'd contacted him about signing for us and the reply that came back was, "Speak to my agent". FFS, this is level 8, and this kid hasn't even broken through into Witton Albion's first team yet. WTF is going on ?
What they are really doing is tying up players so that, should they turn out to be half decent, the agent can make money out of the situation.
Wasn't is Pogba's agent who made £49 million from his transfer to Man U? Young players see this sort of thing and in this age of wannabees they think that signing for an agent is their best way forward.
Same thing in the entertainment industry with Britain's Got Talent, X Factor, the Voice etc. --it is the judges and entrepreneurs like Simon Cowell who are making the real money although, as in football, there will be the odd exception.

Burnley have told defender Ben Gibson that he can leave the club this summer. Premier League newcomers Aston Villa and Sheffield United are among a group of clubs interested in a £15m move for the 26-year-old Englishman.
well that was a waste of a wage

I'm not surprised, having heard of one aspect of his behaviour recently, I thought he might not be a Burnley player much longer. I suspect this decision is not entirely due to playing ability.

I wasn't there BT, but I was told by someone who was there of, how can I best put it, 'unseemly conduct not becoming of a Burnley FC employee' is perhaps the politest description, at an official club function last month. I'm sure you can fill in the gaps around that.Pray tell sinkov, I love a bit of good old tittle tattle.
