I like him. My tin hat is now on.
My reply was for new donnyJust wondered on what basis that comment was made on
Big up to McAnthony & the way he handled a petulant Maddison & his cretinous representatives - shows how players agents worship only money rather than doing what’s right for the player which would’ve been a Charlton move -
Dear me campsall Nobody has said agents aren’t a problem in fact everybody who spoke on the subject said there were good ones and bad ones. And the main reason they were brought up was when you said they were a reason we weren’t signing players. But SM told you they certainly weren’t a reason
........and to be fair, why shouldn’t agents try to make money for themselves and their players.That what their job is.

That’s the point. That is also the point McAnthony was making in a fairly diplomatic way. Much more diplomatic than he usually is. He has been known to put his mouth into 6th gear before brain has been engaged in 1st gear.

He has been known to put his mouth into 6th gear before brain has been engaged in 1st gear.It could be argued that an agent trying to get the best deal for himself and his player is actually working in the best interests of the player.Having never heard McAnthony speak before I can’t comment on what he usually says.

But SM told you they certainly weren’t a reason Thanks.Yes I said that agents were not the reason we didn't see any incomings earlier in the transfer window. I think it's obvious, as you say, that some are good and some can be cretinous, and we've had both at DRFC. If you all remember Sean McDaid became an agent after he retired and I hear very good things about him. I bumped into him at a PFA dinner a couple of years back and shared a chinwag with him, very polite individual.
