It’s a shame more clubs don’t take a harder line against making agents richer. They’ve been sucking money out of the game by doing very little for far too long.
In all US sports the PLAYERS pay the agents and all they get is 5% of contracts and 10% of endorsements. How hard is that? Football owners in Europe have no balls. They could fix this in one afternoon if they tried.

Exactly, the agent works for the player - why should the club pay him anything.

Chalk and cheese.
One country (bar Canada), much more centralised control, commissioners, franchises
While what you suggest would be great you'd have to get agreement across multiple leagues (three just in the UK) plus every other country.
Also, the system suits richer clubs, they don't want a more level playing field so they won't agree it
As we've seen, in the UK the clubs, not the leagues, have the power.
Even the rules as they exist now are widely ignored because owners and managers want the players and will pay agents to get them
In answer to your question I got 4 out of the 5 I mentioned correct how did you do zilch have a pop at someone else or do not comment on my post.All my comments have been double checked before I put anything out in the public domain if you do not believe me that is your problem.When I came onto this site I under the impression it was a rumours thread have I learnt if it isn't my spelling it is questions about what I have written I am in a very lucky position I know a lot of people very close to the club.

Can you explain why there are people in the club apparently disillusioned?

I'm not even an avid poster on here, but I know you got Mullin and Tucker wrong for starters so that 4/5 is coming from thin air.

And Piggott.
Oh, but we dont count that one because it was just a joke.....apparently 🙄.
Nothing to do with shirt sponsor it is a partner that has pulled out I have been told and by all accounts there are a few people in the club that are disillusioned.
What????? If people are disillusioned now, after going through the last couple of years maybe they are in the wrong job, Although TS does come across as a tyrant doesn’t he? Honestly there are some really pony rumours coming out, maybe southall is coming back aswell!!.
Mullin and tucker you say I was correct mullin we offered a contract turned down flat would.not pay what he was asking tucker would not pay gills valuation I was correct in that we where interested in signing them piggott I made it very clear that I was told it but I did not believe it as it would make you laugh.The whole point of this thread it is a rumors thread it is being used for anything but the lot of people on here put you all together and you would not make a supporter of this great club.

Goodness me to do ever get bored of doing the WIOTOS… it’s so boring, you don’t have to repeat on every post until the end of time … your not a comedian with a catchphrase 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Ive also heard we have a foward / winger very close should be confirmed early next week. Its a name that im sure has been mentioned in despatches before, the person who told me dose not work for the club anymore but claims that one that has told him still does. So im guessing its the same bloke as others have been told.
My post about piggott was not hard to understand was told we where interested this will make you laugh. He has interest from championship hardly sign for us.Reference Moses I said told we where interested in him but was wrong he has gone elsewhere
Sorry old pal but what you are telling us does not appear to be very accurate. I am not having a dig and not discouraging you. I'm simply summarising what I think you've told us.
We were signing Pigott but now apparently you were joking. JFC was going to Brum, but now apparently someone was pranking you. We were interested in Moses yet he had apparently signed for Spartak Moscow for £4.2M. You say we signed Mullin on Saturday. Cawley says we aren't interested. Tucker is being shown around Charlton, though Gills haven't agreed a fee and at one point you said he'd signed. You implied Schwarz has gone (anybody else heard Ronnie has gone?) You've said we weren't in for Boyle, then you said we were, then you said he's going to Oxford. We were signing Freddie Ladapo.
4 out of 5 right you say? I'll just leave this 8 you got wrong here. You'll need to be a bit sharper if you think everyone will forget what you said.

Fella don’t overstep, everyone is a fan of this club otherwise it would be quite sad for someone to be commenting on a bloody forum they don’t care about. There’s no league table or prize for best fan on here, nobody should be justifying why they are a good fan.I don’t think anyway!!😂. Just chill a bit.
If some people at the club have expressed disappointment or disillusionment with something, it is probably best not to know who they are. If there are that is. No need to attack Addicks 59 and probably go in a direction we don't need to.
No one is attacking him. They are simply correcting him and assisting his poor memory. Plus if you throw in a stink bomb, like some staff are disillusioned and then run off refusing to elaborate, it's reasonable that people are allowed to ask for more information, unless we are supposed to simply accept everything we are told without question.

I've not attacked him just asked what the reasons are behind the people at the club being disillusioned. Don't want to know who they are but it's more than fair to ask why these people feel like that now and are prepared to tell someone that's how they feel. It's quite a big statement to make to be just left there.
Tell you what it's all gone downhill at the club since we were linked with Jordan Ibe.
Not sure about that, if it's someone we've been interested in for a while (Kirk, Randell etc..) I'd prefer them to Ibe as they will be an instant impact. Ibe hasn't played consistently for a while and will likely take longer to get match sharp
This rumour about disillusionment in the club has come from a post on another forum, just made up bollocks because some supporters are upset we’ve not made 10 new signings and spent millions, so something must be up!
No one is attacking him. They are simply correct his poor memory.
Yeah, but it's a Rumours thread.
The fella came up with some rumours. If some of them didn't come off for whatever reason, so what? That's the nature of a rumour.
We can all just make rumours up Oggy.
I heard we are trying to resign Karlan Grant on loan as he’s out of favour at West Brom and they want to get a portion of his wages off the books but won’t let him go to a Championship club. Sunderland are interested but he favours coming back to London.
There we go. Done. A rumour. Complete bollocks with no substance behind it though and if I’m going to pass my time making stuff up on the internet I should expect to be called out on it when it doesn’t come true. Especially if I’m then going to fabricate being right about things I wasn’t even right about.
This particular individual’s posts bear a lot of the hallmarks of previous posters who have eventually ended up banned from the site. I don’t think posters like this do anything to enrich the forum. Just my opinion.

Cheers @Exiled_Addick I'll look forward to reading this on EFL Zone and Transfer Hub tomorrow.
