#34 : 'Method to The Madness' with FIFAs New Agent Regulations? - Recruiting an Entire Team Without Calling an Agent - FIFAs American Influence - Premier League Games in the USA in the Next 10 Years
Manage episode 411155610 series 3496103
A shocking admission on 'The Agents Angle' this week, which acknowledges the possibility of 'some' logic and 'method in the madness' of FIFA with the FFAR and the cap on agent commissions.
Could the increasing US influence on the world of football also be reflected in a changing mindset & approach from FIFA, not least the move of FIFA's agent and legal division to Miami which has led to numerous resignations and departures from FIFA?
We also revisit the 'Relevent' case in the USA, and the huge ramifications which that could have for FIFA and agents around the world.
Also, how some 'agents are now viewed as more important than football directors', and a sporting director recruiting a whole team without calling a single agent.
