This is happening alot in one form or another.Really? Gosh. What a massive conflict of interest.
Surely a manager who gains financially from sale profits won't necessarily be as objective when it comes to transfer policy?
Reminds me of the George Graham / Venables / Warnock / even Redknapp (dare I say) days.
I saw recently that Karl Robinson had a 10% stake in Dele's agent's company. Made a lot of sense why he was driving him up to Liverpool to try and arrange that transfer, and was so positive when he moved to us. It's ridiculously really, and i'm sure we only see the tip of the iceberg.
