Quinn rounds on agents over transfer window
SUNDERLAND chairman Niall Quinn believes the 'stupid' transfer window system is little more than a money-maker for football agents.[LNB] The Irishman is currently working to push home manager Steve Bruce's interest in his own targets at a time of year when neither man likes to do business.[LNB] Quinn told the club's official website, www.safc.com: "Put it this way, if I was a football agent and I got all the other agents together and said, 'How can we get more money out of these clubs', we would invent a transfer window system.[LNB] "There is not one fan of it, other than agents who know that when panic ensues, players are bought for larger transfer fees and larger agency fees.[LNB] "I have nothing personally against agents - they have a job to do - but what a helping hand this transfer window business gives them. It's stupid stuff."[LNB]
