patred44 Posted 25 June, 2013 Share Posted 25 June, 2013 Our refusal to pay Victor Wanyamas agent £1m has bought much support from fans all over the country. But if it leads to us not being able sign the players we want whilst the rest of the PL conform to what has become the norm is it the right thing to do for our clubs ambitions? Agents demands from the top league teams have esculated beyond belief.. they in their defence will say so has the PL clubs incomes over the same period. Chelsea started this whole thing after Abramovich found it difficult to get players to come in preference to Utd, Barca, Real etc.. The floodgate opened when Man City tried to buy everyone and anyone.. they had money but no rep, so players in demand shunned them. This is what is happening to us to lesser degree...although the players just want a PL stage to ply their trade, their agents want more, and not for their player, but for themselves. It's their one off chance in some cases to make a killing. Cortese is morally right to refuse to pay the 'ransom' but can we hope to break into that next level with a Canute like attitude, fighting the tide on our own. The answer unfortunatly is no, not without the help of the FA and all the other clubs/ And, will they help? No, its a dog eat dog world in PL and within 10 minutes of us refusing to bow to the agents demands another PL were saying they would pay it.. so much for soliarity! http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/10505359._/?
