Transfers Collapse Due to Agent Disputes – The FIFA Law Annual Review (FLAR) in Tokyo Features an Update on Football Agent Regulations – Could Accountants & Finance Whizzes Become the Transfer Stars?
Season 1 : Episode 29
Following the recent closure of the (January) ‘transfer window’ in many parts of the world, a quieter ‘window’ than normal for many agents, ‘The Agents Angle’ examines – is it a case of clubs being more cautious due to various factors impacting on finances? And could it see a shift towards a more American, if not ‘Feast or Famine’ approach by clubs to player recruitment?
Coinciding with the closing of the ‘transfer window’; FIFA held their annual FLAR (FIFA Law Annual Review) in Tokyo, which although not etched in many agent’s diaries ….. agent-related matters featured prominently on the agenda.
As such, ‘The Agents Angle’ looks at matters discussed at the FLAR and updates relating to the agent’s world; from regulation (FFAR) to transfers, club finances to tax as well as a senior FIFA official ‘labelling’ the topic of agents as “amazing and interesting”.
There is also the case of a ‘collapsed’ transfer in the recent ‘transfer window’ that was reported to be because of a dispute relating to agent representation of the player; and the need for adequate independent dispute resolution for agents when such matters arise.
