Chapter 101 Football Agency (Please add it to your collection)

George looked at Allen in surprise. With the development of football, it is inevitable that there will be a group of agents.

Speaking of player agents, there is another saying, that is, Mr. 5%. Because FIFA stipulates that the range of agents' remuneration is 5% of the player's various incomes, including the player's salary income, various brand endorsement fees, image rights fees, etc. Of course, they also have an income, which is 10% of the player's transfer fee.

It can be said that player agents live on players, but a player really cannot do without agents. In low-level leagues, this problem is not obvious. But the higher you go, the more players cannot do without agents.

When a football agent acts as an agent for a player, he will be responsible for everything from the field to the field for his players. Not only will he strive for economic benefits for his players, but he will also become a kind of consultant for the career of his players.

Anyway, with the development of world football in the future, the power of professional football agents will become stronger and stronger. Just like Mendes, the largest professional agent in Portugal, who later had football stars such as Ronaldo, Nani and Mourinho. Later, all the coaches of the world's top clubs would have Mendes' phone number in front of them, because Mendes' influence has penetrated into all areas of European football.

There are many super agents like Mendes, including Tevez's agent Khorabchin, Ibrahimovic and Balotelli's agent Raiola, and Rooney's agent Stretford, etc. Their power is getting bigger and bigger, which makes many coaches and football clubs headache.

Many agents are relatives of players, and some lawyers have obtained agent qualifications and gradually become professional football agents. I didn't expect Allen to get involved here.

"Alan, are you serious?" George was also a little moved by Allen's proposal.

George can't do anything else except being a coach. Many reborn people can call the shots in the stock market, but George only knows about terrorist attacks and the Iraq War. He doesn't know much about other things, and sports agencies just match him.

George's biggest advantage is that he has more than ten years of experience than others and knows those Mavericks who haven't become famous yet. The agency can just play to its strengths.

"Well, I've registered. And I've also got the professional agent qualification certificate, there's no problem in this regard." Allen saw that George was also a little moved, so he continued to lobby. "George, your vision of players is absolute. Look at Barak, I admire you..."

"Let's talk business." George knew that if Allen started to talk, it would not be enough even for a day and a night.

"George, my meaning is very simple. In terms of law and player image promotion, you are an outsider, and I am an insider. I am good at playing this kind of thing, but judging a player's potential and setting a development direction for them, I think this is your strength. Those big-name players, with my current ability, I can't pull them. Let's start with those players who are not yet famous, isn't this your strength. After five or six years, the group of players under my management will become famous, and then we will make a fortune." Allen started to dance with joy as he spoke.

Although Allen has never been serious, what he said is very good. As a top student of the Law Department of Cambridge University, Allen's ink in his belly is not fake.

"Alan, are you really going to do something big? Not just for fun?" George asked worriedly. After all, Alan has always been a playboy, and he has never been seen doing anything serious. George dared not put the fate of those talented players in his hands.

Alan raised his right hand and said very solemnly: "George, this time it is absolutely true. Look at Daniel, who is now calling the shots in the London stock market, and you are now a famous coach. I am alone, spending all day drinking and partying, and I also want to do something serious."

George nodded. He didn't want to miss the chance to earn some extra money. With George's current salary, even if he goes to the Premier League, it is only a few hundred thousand pounds. It will never exceed 500,000 pounds, which is still too little money.

It stands to reason that it is very inappropriate for the head coach of a professional football club to own shares in the company of football agents and trade directly with these agents when buying and selling players. It can even be said that it is not allowed by law. After all, if the head coach has shares in these brokerage companies, who can guarantee that there will be no insider information when buying players?

But things are so strange. Many head coaches in English football have shares in agency companies. There are also many relatives of head coaches who work as agents. Although it is unreasonable, English football is so weird.

"Alan, I tell you. If we want to do it, we should do it well. If you just want to play, then don't look for me." George thought about it and thought that this was a very good idea. Why didn't he think about it before? He actually forgot such a way to make money.

Alan nodded. "George, don't worry. I'm serious this time. In a few years, maybe I will become a big crocodile in the football world."

George saw that Alan's expression was indeed very serious, so he began to think about it. If you want to do it, you should do it well.

"Alan, do you have any players under your company now?" Although George didn't believe that Alan could have players joining in such a short time, he still held a glimmer of hope and asked Alan.

Alan shrugged. "No, not all of my targets are on your team."

George smiled, this kid Allen is quite discerning. Taking a fancy to Burnley's current youth army, if Allen can really catch all Burnley's current young talents in one fell swoop. Then Allen really became prosperous. But there is no such good thing. As Burnley's performance in English League One gets better and better, most of those players already have their own agents.

"Allen, it's late. If you had come a year earlier, half of the players would have no agents. Now..." George shook his head.

"Really gone? George, I know that these players were all introduced by you. You should be able to influence them."

"Don't think about this, it's impossible." Although George has a good relationship with those players, the relationship between those agents and players is not simple. How could it be something that George could change with just one or two words?

"George, then you have to introduce these two people to me. The two of us can't open a business without a single player." Allen frowned.

George touched Allen's wine glass with his wine glass, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Alan, don't be anxious. Since it's a business between the two of us, I will never let you down." George spoke calmly and slowly. "Alan, I heard that when negotiating, the most taboo thing is to be impatient. You can't do it now."

"Okay, George. How did I find that you are now poorer than me because of your talk." Allen didn't care about his image at all and only wanted to urge George.

Seeing Allen so anxious, George was actually happy. The more anxious it is, the more anxious it is, which shows that Allen is really ready to do this.

"Alan, I'll give you two people. As long as you grasp these two people, there will be no problem with the future of our agency." George held out two fingers.

"Barack? Ljungberg?" Allen immediately called out the names of Burnley's two best players.

George shook his head. Ballack and Ljungberg are currently Burnley's top stars, including of course the young Robbie Keane. Players like this have been spotted by major agencies for a long time. When will it be the turn of a newcomer like Allen to come and grab a meal?

"Klose and Daniel." Klose's contract is very simple, and there is nothing that requires an agent in the past two years. As for Daniel's agent, his father has always been in charge, and his father has no problems in ordinary negotiations. But many of Daniel's legal problems in the future will need to be handled by professionals.

"Daniel Morrison? He doesn't have an agent yet. This is good. He is still an English player. Joining the England national team in the future will bring us countless profits. This person is good, but Klose..., George Are you sure you saw the right person?"

Klose has played more than 40 games for Burnley, but has only scored seven goals so far. Compared with Burnley's powerful attack, Robbie Keane and Kevin Phillips are now both scoring in double figures. Especially Kevin Phillips, who played less than half of Klose's time but scored twice as many goals as Klose.

Even if Burnley now has a few attacking midfielders, Ballack, Ljungberg and Camoranesi have scored many more goals than Klose. Klose only scored seven goals in a season at Burnley, which has such a strong offensive power. Many people criticized George's employment because of this matter.

"Allen, if you believe me, I can tell you. If you sign Klose, you will not be disappointed. When you sign them, tell them that you are my brother. It should not be a big problem."
