Agent Could Ruin Taylor's Toon Career!

25 October 2010 12:54
We brought this up last week, the fact that Steven Taylor (who has refused to sign a new Toon contract) has the same agent as Wayne Rooney - and we all know what a shambles that saga turn out like! Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned the influence agents have on players in the modern game following the recent saga involving Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. England international Rooney appeared set to leave Old Trafford when Ferguson revealed early last week that the 25-year-old had intimated he would not be signing a new contract. However, on Friday, Rooney performed a remarkable U-turn by agreeing a bumper new deal which ties him to the Premier League giants until 2015. The role of Rooney's representatives in the issue has been questioned and Ferguson believes the agents may now wield too much power. Sir Alex Ferguson: "Although you know the player you don't know his agent. "Agents live in their pockets nowadays and for some reason they have an influence on the players which I think is a big change in the game as far as I'm concerned. "It's a fact of life today we've got with agents and the type of agents we've got nowadays. You expect all these things." As for Taylor ... he still insists he wants to stay at Newcastle but his agent has been trying to move him on since last May! Mike Ashley insists he has put the money on the table for Taylor to sign a new deal, and won't budge from the offer. As it stands there is a strong chance the former England-under 21 defender will walk away from the club he loves - on a free transfer - to line the pockets of a parasite who seems determined to make big headlines - and big bucks!
