Agents

Post by Bombadel » Thu Oct 29, 2020 5:00 pm

Being a football club, I guess agents play a bigger part Compared to non league, interesting comments from the chairman regarding activities prior to the Bolton game

Very interesting although it's not exactly surprising to hear about an agent causing trouble and being less than honest. Don't think I've ever heard ANY manager or club say anything good about agents.
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

Interesting post.

I am told that Evatt’s agent was constantly trying to get him away from Barrow well before the end of the season.

Yep glad we got shut of him. Engineered a big money move to Fylde for Evatt which cost us a fortune to keep him.
Bad egg that one.
Then after all the stories about Evatt came out, we are best without him too !!!

I hope none of our players have the same agent... presumably not if we have now ridded ourselves of him.

Steve Whiston. He is very vocal on Twitter.I think he only has Dior Angus on his books now of the current squad. He has John Rooney and Ian Evatt on his books.

Never understood what agents do apart from trying to milk as much money from a club as possible, is it just to save-face of his “clients” ?
