Agent’s Dispute with Manchester United Over Fees Reveals a Web of Agent Involvement – ‘Data Veil’ on Some Football Talent About to be Lifted? – Interview with a Top South African Football (Soccer) Agent
Season 2 : Episode 7 (#49)
In episode 49 of ‘The Agents Angle‘ podcast, we delve further into reports of an agent’s dispute with Manchester United over unpaid fees, uncovering a complex web of agent involvement behind just one player’s time at the club. Could this case reveal more about the hidden layers of many football transactions?
We also discuss recent reports from the FIFA Football Agents Exam, where concerns about cheating have again cast a shadow over the process. Additionally, we examine the channels offered by FIFA and others in the reporting of such matters, as they decline yet another invitation for an open conversation.
In this episode, our special guest is Glyn Binkin, one of South Africa’s top football agents, who shares his unique insights into the local and international football landscape. From his journey as a mascot to becoming a highly respected agent, Glyn discusses his experiences in navigating the challenges of the South African football market, handling negotiations, and adapting to regulatory changes.
Tune in for an episode packed with industry insights, regulatory debates, and a rare insider’s view into the world of football agency.
