You would not believe the half of it.
It is completely unbelievable and like no other industry/business
Fuelled by greedy agents and incompetent owners trying to reach for the stars.
You would not believe the half of it.Tricky / interesting thing football finance.
Signing on fees, bonuses, insurance, lifestyle clauses, image rights.
In older times star players got % gate fee.
I admit to not knowing too much so I’m going to do a bit of research over the close season whilst there’s no footy on.
We all have hobbies - that’ll be mine for a bit.
The year on his contract means the balance of power is in his favour rather than ours.Got to be £20m all day for me. £15 would still feel like a give away.
No idea why agents are labelled as ruining the game rather than the players. They’re acting on the wishes of the players.You would not believe the half of it.

I doubt if many players could spell their own names without an agent helping them.No idea why agents are labelled as ruining the game rather than the players. They’re acting on the wishes of the players.
He would have stayed but for the pen miss - he said so himself (when asked if he’d stay he replied “if you are in the Premier League” at a fan forum).Got to be £20m all day for me. £15 would still feel like a give away.
Understand that but throw everything at the last year? Keep in mind the healthy sell on fee Brighton will take.The year on his contract means the balance of power is in his favour rather than ours.
In this case I don't agree. Sometimes players might do that but I can't see Gyokeres would want to waste a year of his career at his age or lose the massive increase in wages that a move to a Premier League team would bring. Surely he's more ambitious than that.No idea why agents are labelled as ruining the game rather than the players. They’re acting on the wishes of the players.
This, all day long.Got to sell Vik. Hamer maybe we could keep. Vik would strop at best and is clearly ambitious. But we need cash for a rebuild and Vik is at peak value. Get it done early for a fair price and move on.
If I hadn't read about the Leeds fans chucking his shirt back at him after the last game, I genuinely wouldn't have heard of him.If Rutter is worth 36M .
36m is too deerIf Rutter is worth 36M .
Or MA comes in, hands GH, VK, Ben S etc. bumper contracts….
(Partial wishful satire)
Off piste, no Betting shirt sponsor…
What odds we get Sports Direct all over the front as a makeweight for rent?
36m is too deer
Not worth that many bucks?
Staggering price.Not worth that many bucks?
Worth more than Barry Venison.Staggering price.
No point in delaying the inevitable unless we're getting more money for Gyokeres. €20m is a good starting point and I expect the Prep teams to muscle Sporting Lisbon out of a deal with ease.We need to get him sold as soon as possible so we can get on with our summer plans.
think the book was called paymaster general….very eye openingYes Geoffrey Robbinson allegedly bought Keane without Strachan knowing.
He was bought by GR as an investment, and then when the big offer came in GR sold him.
For years the fans were asking. "where did the money go" but the truth is there never was any money!!!
Third party player ownership was subsequently made illegal by the football league, but I'm sure it still goes on in some form or another.
Many years ago there was a book published about corruption in football, and there was a whole chapter dedicated to Geoffrey Robinson. Most of it about his dodgy deals surrounding the Justice Taylor report into all seater stadiums following the Hillsborough tragedy.
But in short, GR best mate Mike McGinity (West Brom board member at this time) was given the nod to buy a company that made stadium seating, the company was going bust, so was sold for peanuts.
Now GR was on the panel of the Justice Taylor committee, and new in advance of publication that the committees report was going to recommend that every sporting venue move to all seater status.
Low and behold, after the report was published, who do you think got all the major contracts for the stadium seating?
That's right GR best mate Mike Mcginity,
Who made an absolute mint.
What happened to MM?
Well well well he only left West Brom and ended up on the board of CCFC alongside his best mate GR.
Now I should point out that the story isn't mine, it came from a book who's name escapes me, but I'll try and find out and post it, but I'm sure a forum member will know, and as such the allegation is nothing more than hearsay, as to my knowledge no charges were ever brought.
Feel free to make of this what you want.
Edit, .... the books called "Broken Dreams" by Tom Bower. Its available on Amazon.
You can find it in most good book shops and probably some shit ones too.
If this is the case (and I’ve no idea and no reason not to believe you) then does that include commission on new contract with current club?his new agent will want him moved this summer. this summer window is the last chance agents can make uncapped commission on transfers. there will be a lot of activity this summer with agents wanting to earn as much as they can before the cap comes into place.
15 mil plus Mcnally and Scott Twine , that'd do meBurley reported want vik again on sky sports pay 20 -25 million then you got him

Could be an angle.
