Kiko must have moved. I know Jay is represented by Beswicks but Kiko was working for DRN.

I used to work with Lewis Brownhill, really lovely guy and he was a great player himself, even won the FA Vase.
Always used to get good gossip about Burnley from him as well.

He has at least one of our players under him now. See him in the Bob Lord when I'm in there for games

Dealt with quite a few agents some good and some not so but always been impressed with Colin Murdock, genuine bloke who does things the right way.

I always wonder if a footballer could have a career now, without an agent.
I'd like to sit the exam, just to see what it's like.
There was one player years ago, who said he never used an agent - think is was Paul Scholes.

It was James Milner. He used the PFA to help him.

They could, but why would they?
Footballers are now multi-million pound businesses with everything that is associated with that.

I believe David Nugent represented himself, certainly in his early days.
From, memory, when he was at Bury and negotiating his own terms the Bury Chairman came on Radio Lancs, clearly exasperated at the way the negotiations were going, saying that Nugent should listen to his dad.
An experienced business man going public to intimidate a young footballer, suggesting his father knew more. Wrong.
