AcidBurn Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It might be a common thing but I have never seen a player sack their agent for messing up contract talks, is this a common thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Happened to me a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazTheDoood Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Never seen it in nearly 30 years. May be common, but not for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Seen it with a young player I was trying to sign. Sacked his agent after talks broke down. I then signed the youth player. Handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjawi. Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Wish that would happen on mine. Got this amazing youth player but his agent keeps asking for ridiculous money, with a low min fee release and match highest earner clause. He's really good, but not good enough that I'd agree to all that with such a low min fee release. The agent fees and loyalty bonus are the same as the min fee release, that's how poor it is. Tried 4 times now to try and get him to sign a new contract and each time the agent throws a fit as I won't pay out stupid money and up his wage from £1.2k to £17k (he'd then be my highest earner by far and I have 2 amazing players with match highest earner clauses (including my captain who's been at the club his whole 14 year career) and they're only on £7k. So yeah... really hoping that he sacks his agent so that I can get him to sign a new contact before I lose him on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've heard of this, and try HARD to achieve this but in the end usually the agent broke down and sign the contract that is a wee-bit more favourable to me which is a good thing I suppose... still I'd like to see an agent get sacked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I haven't seen that message before. When an agent messes up a big move for an ambitious player, which happens often, I think they should be more willing to sack their agents than they are now. Once, my relationship with an agent broke down for some reason, and so a 20x increase in wages and several million pounds worth of loyalty bonuses to both player and agent went down the drain. The player still kept his idiot agent, though. Ridiculous! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
