Another defeat for FIFA over the ‘cap’ on agent commissions – Why did the decision take so long and what is ‘Rule K’? – What are the Signs for National Football Agent Regulations (NFAR) in England?
Season 1 : Episode 21
‘The Agents Angle’ can only start in one place this week, with that of the momentous ruling in England over the new FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) with the FIFA ‘cap’ on football agent commissions defeated once again; following a similar path to Germany and Spain.
The ruling is a relief for many, but what was the reason for an apparent delay in the ‘Rule K’ arbitration process that handled the dispute between Agents and The FA? Esteemed Barrister Joe Bryan guides us through what the applications for ‘Rule K’ are across football disputes involving agents and other football participants?
There is also the ‘inside track’ on what MAY be implemented by The FA (England) with Football Agent regulations from the proposals presented earlier in the year to a select group; looking at topics including agent registration, protection of minors, CPD, registration fees, just cause, representation agreements, The PFA’s role, clearing house and players seeking independent legal advice.
