Mino Raiola has passed away

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

He did well to last as long as he did in the age of stuffed crust pizza.

I would like to apologise if I ever suggested that Raiola was anything other than a saint.

Never too late to jump aboard the internet grief-train. Welcome.

Did exactly what he was supposed to do which was represent his clients to get the best deal for them. Anyone that pissed off GPC was a good one in my book. RIP, 54 is way too early, condolences to his family and friends.

No one doubts that. The problem was the methods employed. It was said that you could not trust a word he said and he broke promises, did not keep confidential info to himself etc etc.

Any idea what the cause was?

He stopped breathing.

Possibly.

I‘m waiting for death and taxes to be replaced by passing away and the fuckers taking part of my money to pay for fags and beer for people too lazy to work.

Get with the times. ‘’Passing away‘ is so last year. Now its ‘passed’ (like Phil does rather expertly with a football) :-)

They don't even 'pass away' anymore... they 'pass/passed' like they are not actually dead, and they just moved into an old folks home in Milton Keynes. It's all fucking weird.

It's another american affectation parotted by twats cos they keep reading it on social meeja. The worst one is 'Oh my god' replaced by 'Oh my GOSH'. That one makes me die a little inside every time I hear it.

My issue with him is that the inflation in the game that is usually blamed on our owners has largely been driven by him or his ilk. Doubtless he has done well for his clients and maximised their financial return on their short careers, he has massively caused or at least accelerated the toxicity within the financial side of the game. I'm happy to laugh at what he's done to the rags, but he's also contributed to three million pound players suddenly being worth fifteen or twenty million and in so doing has fucked with the lower divisions which I'm sure he didn't give a flying fuck about. Not just him tbf - TV, ownership, American business models all play a part.

It’ll be rhyming slang soon.

His wallet fell and landed on his head.
