My understanding is that Batch, Aydin ,Croft and Shaw all used another agent. The bloke is equally as odorous by all accounts. I really dont understand how these young players dont see through these people for what they really are.
As for Harrison, to give yourself such a name tells you all you need to know. I really dont understand why anyone bothers watching the garbage him and Gledhill put out.
PB it’s not the players a lot of the time, it’s often the parents.
Some are plain naive and have no experience in their own lives that prepares them for this. They think they are doing their best by following the zeroes and why not. Agents prey on the insecurity of ordinary people doing the best they can.
Worse are the parents who do have some experience and immediately take over because they once trialled for Leeds.
To them all CEO’s are robbers, their Bobby is the future superstar they thought he was despite everyone being against them, especially the first team coaches who are just blind to young Bobbies talent.
They stick their ore in all the time, bind to the truth and eventually burn every bridge doing so. The matches of course are supplied by the dodgy agent.
What has happened to Shaw in particular is a total tragedy. Unless the lad gets a lifeline from somewhere soon, his SL career is effectively over. In my opinion the reason for this one lays solely with his agents who has taken Shaw and his family for a ride.
Even if the lad finds a way, he’s possibly will be two years behind where he was at Trinity. That’s a long time in a short career.
