Brian Clough’s attitude towards agents was the best, some funny stories on How he dealt with them.

Up the Trin

For the record all new police applicants have to be degree level qualified or be studying towards one.

It’s not intelligence in any job it’s common sense and I’m afraid majority of the younger generation and hell of a lot of the older ones haven’t got any.

Slightly tongue in cheek,but the young 'uns are on a treadmill and will need a degree to dig a hole in the ground eventually, and saddled with a massive debt.Crackers!

dont despair boris will sort it

True, as long as someone shows them which end of the shovel to hold

Correct. Shame they don’t do degrees in that!

I read every bit of it twice actually, and gave my opinion on the the parts I replied to in your post, you are the one who said I never debate anything, so here's your chance to explain to me why you don't have to be a genius to be a copper or any other tradesman/labourer or rugby player.

Could you also explain why rugby players don't have to make (in your words) have to make real hard life decisions like the rest of us, two simple questions from somebody what does not agree with those imo ridiculous statements, oh and please don't revert to type with your bitterness it's beginning to tarnish your new found image.

As I say you simply don’t read things, I said the exact opposite, I said they DO have to make hard life choices just like the rest of us, but the rest of us don’t need or use agents, it’s an obvious observation, but I don’t suppose that matters to someone just looking for an argument.

In light of your dullard attitude this discussion is now over now you’ve slipped into your standard last throw of the dice

Nope. Don't agree.
Employment contracts are important. They are fixed term deals which can wildly vary. Any player needs an expert to look at it before signing, unless RFL make them standard contracts.

If copper equals lowest entry level then maybe not but you need to have a brain the higher you go. Bit patronising to say that too.

And I also think it's quite patronising to imply they don't make hard real world decisions because they have agents.
When you are deciding on a contract that will keep you and your family financially afloat, when you don't know how long you have in your career or whether another employer will come along, you are in a stressful and tough negotiation.
I'd say that's far more hard decision than me taking a PAYE job I know has to follow certain guidelines and if it doesn't go well it's difficult for them to just sack me and also, I can just go to the next company and apply.

Precisely why I’d imagine they are important. They are negotiating real money where every couple of grand matters. As you say later in your post it’s their choice and I’m sure pretty much all players use agents now. I’m sure they wouldn’t if they didn’t achieve anything.

So....... is rocky going to resign?

Seems to be a repeat of last year at the mo
