Honey Honey 3,767 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Quote Uefa is considering imposing a cap on agents' fees following scrutiny of payments made to players' representatives. It was found Premier League clubs paid £220m in agents' feesduring the 2016-17 season - an increase of 38%. Alexis Sanchez's agent, Fernando Felicevich, received a reported £15m in the Chile international's recent transfer to Manchester United. Uefa will consider a cap in a bid to "introduce more transparency". Last summer, Jorge Mendes - Cristiano Ronaldo's agent - took a £7m cut of the transfer fee Manchester City paid for goalkeeper Ederson. Mino Raiola was reported to have received £23m from Paul Pogba's move from Juventus to Manchester United in 2016 while Kia Joorabchian is rumoured to have received a substantial amount after brokering Philippe Coutinho's recent move to Barcelona from Liverpool. Uefa confirmed in a statement its Professional Football Strategy Group, which consists of key stakeholders in European football, had endorsed a strategy to "shape policy change... by potentially adding a cap on fees, introducing more transparency/accountability, and appropriate sanctions in case of infringement of the rules". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42797542 Great job if you can get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Good direction to go in and the next step is a cap on transfer fees followed after that by a cap on wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something needs to be done. Football is becoming more and more predictable with the same teams winning respective leagues because of more financial muscle. Personaly I'd like some kind of rule where teams can only spend so much per window and it is adjusted for inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 No way a £100m transfer cap as that’s out of sorts with reality. People have become immune to all of this... £50m and I feel perverse with that and set the wage cap at £80k PW all over Europe. All of this breaks free market rules which is why it can’t be implemented due to so many clubs being PLCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 You won’t find many if any players or anyone not having gone to at least elementary school in Europe.

I'd say most players here in South America go to elementary as well, but finishing it is different and they are man children.

I have a journalism job about 5 years before I've finished my career because I dedicate to that and not studying. Footballers can barely handle themselves, I'd doubt they'd be able to negotiate on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain there is lots of paper work and plus agents have more contacts. I doubt footballers without agents would work in the modern world.
