ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 There must be a good few.. Found this though: It's fair to say that Willie McKay symbolises everything that is wrong with agents in football. The agent incurred the wrath of Wigan fans for numerous incidences regarding players. Willie McKay first angered the Latics faithful when he advised former fans favourite Pascal Chimbonda to hand in a transfer request straight after the final game of the season, and then publicly complained when Wigan rejected offers that he himself thought were 'perfectly reasonable.' Henri Camara was the next Wigan player that McKay attempted to unsettle, he publicly talked up a move to Pompey, claiming the player wanted to move to the south coast. His actions continued to make him a one of the most resented men in Wigan. As if unsettling Chimbonda and Camara wern't enough, the 'agent' then advised Roberts regarding the players new contract. In the end, Roberts left for Blackburn Rovers, and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan publicly stated he would never work with McKay again. McKay was in the news again this week, as Manchester City made public that he was demanding a £100,000+ fee for renegotiating Joey Bartons contract, a demand that City up till now have rightfully refused. if you believe that McKay should not be allowed to continue in demanding extortionate fees and unsettling his clients (and if not, why?), sign the petition by clicking here It's fair to say that Willie McKay symbolises everything that is wrong with agents in football.

Davy 68 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 He was with Thomson, but I don't know if he still is. He represents Faye and Cousin though, and probably a few more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boabe 1 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 There was a quote from him when Chimbonda was looking to move to Newcastle that went along the lines of players needing to be moved along so he could make more money to spend on horses. Cant find the exact quote but it was along those lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briton 394 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think we all agree the guy's a shit house but I think sometimes he (and agents in general) takes flak that should be aimed at the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
