Way the game is I am afraid, refuse to deal with Agents and you don't get the Player I would imagine.Adrian wrote:Footballers at much lower levels than ours seem to have agents now. I can understand it to an extent, but what I don't understand is why clubs use agents to sign players.ARNU wrote: Again football behaves far differently from all other businesses.Nods,winks and handshakes and grubby little deals with agents.You get what you deserve don't ya ? Who'd believe any Dagenham and Redbridge player would have or even need an agent anyway.I suppose if you have the brain functionality of an average footballer you would need someone to tell you the difference between a good idea and a bad one.
We never used to, and I think it's a little concerning if we're starting to. It can't be that hard for one manager or chairman to phone another. What's the point in paying someone to arrange it when that money could go towards the playing budget?
As you say a lot of Players with very limited ability appear to have agents,proven by some of our Summer recruits.
