Description
'Lifting the lid' on the world of the football agent - is it all that it is made out to be, or is there more to a stereotypical 'shadowy' world of alleged 'sharks' and 'cowboys'?
Two experienced practitioners from the football agency world, along with specialist sports and football industry guests, aim to look into the truths, lies and misinterpretations of an industry that is often misunderstood and misrepresented.
From speculation in the football transfer market to football governance and the wider effects of the football agent industry, The Agents Angle aims to 'shed some light'.
