Riyad Mahrez

His Son was a football agent, the rags basically banned him from getting involved in their deals, that screams something very dodgy had been going down.

That's probably just compliance mate, I do a lot of that for my employer and have kicked a few related parties to other employees along with the employees concerned to touch out of commercial deals. Probably most were innocent tbh but it's a safety procedure. Anyone with a conflict of interest has to be removed or I leave myself open to accusations of malpractice.

I was told a few seedy details of the David Bellion transfer once, by a big Rag too - about how many people had realised how much was to be made for doing nothing... all alleged I should say for legal purposes... but the Rags certainly were at ground zero of football agents if true.

I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. A lot of their business both historically and presently has been slimy to say the least.

Your industry is probably better regulated than football, this was well over a decade ago as well, so I shall still believe the worst ;)

Haha I'm in IT and Software mate (finance), the IASB are sprinting along after us trying to catch up and we're acting with a view to what regulations they're likely to bring in 3 years in the future :) probably still better regulated than 90s football, but the rags have been subject to company house and IASB since they went public years back.

Ferguson was definitely not clean a far as agents go, as per link.

He sold players when they did not go the way he wanted (especially when his son was involved), not always in uniteds best interest.

Not to mention the Bebe situation, which definitely was one big fraud.

The absolute bollocks that was written on here when he was not very well was ridiculous, he was a bully and cheat in every shape and form and would do anything to win a football match, he fitted that club perfectly, both would fuck over anything and anyone to get that club any sort of advantage or to the advantage of him and his family.

Anyhow, sorry for going off topic and definitely not having a go at any posters in here, so will leave it there.

Well said, at last somebody with the b*lls to tell it like it really is.

All he said was that the GPC was like everyone else but with the bollocks to tell Mendes Raoila etc to fuck off.

Great post, and totally agree!

Huge stalemate it seems at the minute and all about bloody agents fees again! Seems the fee etc is all agreed but the agent fee is a problem?

The problem is Mahrez withdrawing his transfer request, in the full knowledge that he wouldn't get his bonus with it in place. I'd imagine the club will dig it's heels on on this one, no way they will want to be paying out a bonus for someone who has put in multiple transfer requests and gone missing for two weeks. He's forced the transfer, and those payments are there for those the club decides to cash in on and not someone forcing a move.

It might drag on, but I'd imagine the deal will go through and both City's will know that.
