No surprise this parasite is for it 15:14 - Apr 20 with 967 views | gtsb1966 | Taken from the BBC sport website. The bloke really is a Grade A c***. Fifa said in January that players involved in a breakaway league would be barred from international competitions. Agent Jonathan Barnett, who represents Wales and Tottenham forward Gareth Bale, said he would go to court if such a ban was introduced. "The only people who are really going to suffer inside the business is players," Barnett told Radio 4's Today programme. "I've been speaking to Fifpro [the players' union] and I assure you, we will go to court to fight the rights of the players." | | | | |

Thus limiting their “earnings” capability. Earnings is in inverted commas, because , in my view, they don’t earn their money. The agents bear a huge responsibility for elevating the amount of money in football to a ludicrous level. | | | |

His job is literally to act on behalf of players who are not the decision makers here, so he’s absolutely right to threaten action if players are punished as a result of something that the clubs they play for are doing | |

It would be nice to think that he is defending the players, but I suspect he was trying to protect his own interests. If the ESL players are banned from all other football, I wonder how many would accept that. I would hope that enough would think that they will earn enough money to resist the ESL carrots. | | | |
