I've seen him do it so he ends up on his own goal line saving the ball with his hands like a 2nd rate goalie. I'm not really sure how he could back off any further than that without getting on the metro and heading back home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 So they just happened to pick the services of an untraceable agent, who has ties to the guy who wants to sign Andy Carroll but can't because of his current agent contract?

Cronky Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm not confident about my understanding of it all, but I think the veiled accusation in those articles is as follows - Harrison, Carroll's contracted agent, somehow got muscled out of the deal by Bromley and Curtis, who seem to be partners in a company. However, to make it look above board, Carroll officially represented himself, with Bromley representing Liverpool, and taking the agent's cut in that way. If a player sacks an agent, it looks like they can't be represented by anyone else for a certain period. It looks like Curtis was around and had some contact with Carroll when the deal got done, but not in any official capacity. They also get round the rule about an agent not being allowed to represent both a club and a player during a deal. Harrison is taking the whole thing to arbitration, and may be the source of this story. It would presumably be in his interests to create as big a stink as possible. Allegedly.
