The Sala case

[TH63]

With all due respect, if a respected law firm felt there was a case, I think most people would follow their view, not yours.

So not pursue the case due to the way people view us?

You trust FIFA, lol. All sporting "courts" didn't want to touch this with a bargepole - the use of a banned agent opens a massive can of worms around a large number of transfers.

Yeah but Nuggles has watched law and order on the telly, and he’s been on a pilot’s forum and everything

Son's of a banned agent is not quite the same as sons' of footballers. in this case. Warnock's son had, and possibly still does have, a company called Unique sports, that were the agents of a number of our footballers. It has been said that Warnock would often point players in his son's direction, forcibly even apparently. Rumours are he was moved on from Middlesborough for attempting to influence contracts and agents. The very murky world of football! How naive or aware to it all our directors were will probably never be known.

I've a mate who works at another club who basically says a lot of managers are corrupt as feck. Warnock allegedly had form for backhanders from appearance fees while Gary Johnson was apparently a massive pisstaker.

Loads of very dodgy agents around and we've had at least three managers where it would appear the relationship with a given agent is far too cosy

Wouldn't be surprised .
Where there is money involved there will be greed and corruption.Its always been the same and probably will continue.

Mark Hughes signed mostly players who were also represented by Mark Hughes' agent.

Sounds like that's pretty common. The same allegation was made about Solsjkaer for example.

Such a hard thing to police - do a manager and agent have trust and a good working relationship or is it something more corrupt? Tough to make a call on
