Sala deal highlights problems of regulating player representatives vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Even though France has stricter rules governing agents than other leading Western European football nations, at least six intermediaries have been named in connection to Sala’s 17-million euro transfer from Nantes to Cardiff City in January.
World football’s governing body has also said it is considering a “clearing house” to handle, among other things, the money involved in transfers, and a ceiling on the percentage an agent can take, a suggestion that has provoked heated opposition.Since 2015, federations in major European nations have tended to adopt a minimalist policy, with “intermediaries” having to declare transactions in a national register and meet certain professional standards.
“As nobody says anything, the authorities do very little. For us, there are agents on one side, and on the other usurpers and imposters.”In the Sala case, the disappearance of the player led to an unsavoury argument over who was to blame and who was entitled to what from his transfer. At the club Sala was joining, Cardiff, manager Neil Warnock has used the services of Unique Sports Management, a company that employs his son James Warnock, to handle player transfers. The FA has said it is now monitoring the situation which has brought complaints of a conflict of interest.In France, despite the licencing system, unregistered agents find ways to get their hands on more than the maximum 10 percent commission.
