The Agents Angle - The World's Premier Football (Soccer) Agent Show

In this special episode of 'The Agents Angle' ⁠ the focus is firmly on the recent ruling from just 4 days ago at the ECJ (European Court of Justice) in the case of former French international footballer Lassana Diarra* vs FIFA*.

With the case being of Belgian origin, the show is joined by Willem Alexander-Devlies (of Altius and ATFIELD Sports Law), an expert on Belgian and European sports law to look further at the ruling and the impact it may have.

Whilst some have labeled this ruling as 'Bosman 2.0', ⁠'The Agents Angle' ⁠⁠ aims to take a pragmatic view on a subject whereby a 'major ruling' that 'will change the landscape of football' MAY not be as 'earthshaking' and an end to the current transfer system as some have said (or hoped).

The season finale of 'The Agents Angle' features the second part of our interview with a former FIFA official who played a crucial part in trying to sculpt a fair and workable infrastructure for the FFAR (FIFA Football Agent Regulations); covering aspects such as the agents platform and FIFA agents exam.

Plus, we examine the surprise of not only agents and those outside of FIFA, but also FIFA officials themselves as to why the very important Licensed FIFA Football Agents directory is still 'down for maintenance'.

There is also valuable advice and guidance for future FIFA football agent exam candidates as to how the exam is structured, where to focus efforts …... as well as some guidance that may seem too basic and ultimately that some candidates may neglect.

And seeing as this is the last episode of Season 1 of 'The Agents Angle', we not only take time to reflect on a season dominated by FFAR; but more importantly we look to what is ahead in the football agent world, that will bring not only challenges but also hopefully many improvements and opportunities.

Much of the focus on the FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) has rightly been from the perspective of football agents, however, what has been the experience of many of those within FIFA tasked with developing the FFAR?

In this episode of The Agent's Angle, we are privileged to be joined by Tarik Ajanovic, a former FIFA official from the Agents Department; for a first-hand account of the challenges, thoughts, & experiences from a rarely heard perspective.

Where do Football Agent Associations now sit in the football eco-system & how are they performing in terms of representing not just their members, but the football agent industry as a whole? Not least, whether their efforts are good enough for FIFA & others in football to view agents as 'stakeholders'.

There is also a look at the latest circular from FIFA featuring the AWG (Agent Working Group), agent exam, & agent licensing fees.

We also have news from elsewhere, that new government legislation could see football agents classified as 'employment agencies' a& subject to further compliance and regulation.

The case of the agent for one of the 'hottest' players in this summer '24 transfer window is fined and suspended for breaches of the intermediary (agent) regulations from more than 4 years ago - along with a club, and club officials also being sanctioned.

More problems for FIFA, with another ruling against the FFAR in Argentina and reports of the 3rd FFAR football agents exam being subject to marking errors.

The show also looks to answer listener questions covering topics such as penalty clauses for players in contracts, approaching players, using RSTP and FFAR correctly and whether old agents can regain their agent license.

And there is of course 'quick takes', looking at tax breaks for Mbappe and co in Madrid, FIFA welcoming agents into the 'Football Family', a new mega-agency emerging, and how one sports agent's own personal brand has secured them a lucrative deal.

'The Agents Angle' is joined by Football Finance 'guru' and co-host of the 'Price of Football' podcast Kieran Maguire, with his expert insights, thoughts, and observations on the football agent world from a finance perspective - as well as how new football finance matters affect agents.

As many football seasons around the world come to a close, and with the imminent opening of many football 'transfer windows', the so called 'silly season' begins with much speculation and rumour. So with this, 'The Agents Angle' examines whether the involvement of agents in transfer strategy for clubs distorts the transfer system.

Plus, the show investigates whether an increasing involvement of agents in the recruitment of managers and coaches by clubs may prompt concerns for unhealthy 'conflicts of interest'.

Whilst one agent reportedly 'pockets' 1 million from Lionel Messi's signature on a napkin, another coach and agent find themselves in dispute with a club over a contract signed hurriedly in a hospital car-park.

Could the football world be on the brink of another change that is comparable to the 'Bosman' ruling of 1995? FIFA regulations face another challenge that impacts the football agent industry and could even spell the end of the 'transfer system' (and RSTP) as we know it ....... and it isn't 'FFAR' this time.

Whilst a football agent is cleared by a court on criminal charges of 'sending malicious communications' to a club official, we look at the record-keeping and communication standards that agents should maintain, especially with increased scrutiny expected by the tax authorities on matters of dual-representation (duality) as per official guidance released this last week.

Plus, a 'superstar' player confesses to missing his late friend and agent, and there are player unions reportedly taking action against clubs for the 'abuse' of players.

The football agent world remains largely confused on the current state of agent regulations. Yet one country that does offer some stability is France, but with that stability also comes strict laws and regulations for all agents operating in the French football market.

'The Agents Angle' is joined by Jean-Baptiste Ginies to highlight many aspects of French law and football agent regulations that agents should be aware of.

Also, following the release of the annual agent declarations by The FA (England), it is reported that one English Premier League club paid £75m in agents/intermediary fees in just one year. Yet, is it all that it seems with these reports; or do such reports subsequently raise more questions than answers?
