I am beginning to blame myself for the players leaving boundary park.Having believed all the postings that Porter and Wellens were signing on Friday, I went and invested some of my hard earned cash on us getting both promotion and winning the league(each way as I am a coward) .This investment was struck at 3.30pm on Friday. We all know what happened shortly after Sorry everybody, If I EVER say that I have inside information please disregard it as it is patently untrue

After spending a night to calm down it looks like the agent has done his job again.Chris is an agents dream, a lower league player that can command a fee and therefore commission for the agent on any deal. The agent has therefore got three choices,offer Chris to a English league team for a fee likely to be set by tribunal.I presume that he will get commission on the transfer fee, this is his preferred option,secondly offer Chris to a Scottish team in this case the team do not have to pay a transfer fee but presumably will pay a finders fee to the agent and pay the player more money on the savings made by not paying a transfer.The scottish club also have the added benefit of being able to sell him on for a fee.The last least desirable option for the agent is for Chris to stay where he is and sign a new contract. It looks to me that the agent is looking after himself first and his client second however he will always claim that he has got his player a better deal.Chris is the pawn in all this and presumably does not have the personality to say no to his agent who must be very persuasive but you would be if you can see the £££££££. I have always thought that players in the lower leagues should not have agents and be looked after by the pfa.In that way any money will be kept in football and not to line someones pocket. If this deal does go ahead I intend to write to the football league to look into the deal and disclose how much the agent made from this transaction and question whether he really was looking after the players interests
