I was listening to an Athletic Podcast a bit earlier and I may have misheard but they said he was Raphinas Agent when they signed him. And he's on big wagesDeco has gone from being an agent to a sporting director.
Perhaps there is nothing too wrong with that, if he operates in the best interests of the club and understands his role clearly.
But Deco had already been investigated for fraud by Portuguese authorities and the Roque transfer was down to him with the wheels out in motion before he even started the role. That has just created suspicion he benefitted from it. The Felix transfer certainly felt like a Mendes influenced one too - I think Deco was a partner of Mendes at some point.
So you have to question it all.
You have to wonder if Xavi has realised all of this and wants out because last season I genuinely could see Xavi being coach there for years to come.
