Personally believe the managers are a cancer to the game, if I owned the Tigers I'd make it clear to the players or any prospective players I deal with them alone, were all adults. If you need a manager to discuss things for you then imo you don't have nowhere near enough starch to put our jersey on.
??? If I was a player and you said that to me , I’d say sweet . Go talk to my manager and get him to get me maximum value somewhere else . Because you know that’s their job .
The issue isn’t managers , and much like a lawyer , the very real need for anyone to have as good of representation as you can afford .
The issue is the amount of power that is afforded to them , and how things like the toothless nature in which Moses was “suspended”, just feeds the audacity of most of them , as they know there’s no real repercussions for their behaviour .
You reckon it’s bad here though ? Try in European football, where. It only do you deal with the manger and their company themselves , but you constantly deal with intermediaries, acting on behalf of players and managers to provide plausible deniability .
So now as a club you could be paying the agent , the player , the intermediaries and whoever just to even have a small chance of getting a player . And then you have to negotiate with the old club for 300m type transfer fees .
The sporting world let the sharks in the water , now they’re just chewing up all the fish . No one knew any better circa 1990s and the adopted americanisation and capitalism .
