  • Summary

  • In this packed episode of The Agents Angle, we address growing confusion around football agents representing minors — and the wider implications of a recent European ruling. We discuss age-fraud claims involving Manchester United and Manchester City, and examine how international differences in regulation are impacting agents globally. Our guest, U.S. based FIFA-licensed agent @Jeremy Salley, joins us to unpack the unique dynamics of the American soccer market, the role of talent managers, MLS structures, CBAs, NIL, and more. Plus: changes to FIFA’s Agent Platform and shifting dynamics within the FIFA Agent Working Group. ⚽🎧⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL : ⁠⁠questions@theagentsangle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT THE SHOW via KoFi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠======SHOW RUNNING ORDER :(01:08) - 'Ruffling Feathers' and Prompting Questions. >(02:44) - 'Scandal' of Overage Players at Manchester United & Manchester City. >(04:50) - Inadequate Football Compliance Measures for the Representation of Minors & What Can Agents Do? >(07:22) - European Ruling Has Widespread Implications for Sports Agents & FFAR. >(11:26) - Confusion is No Excuse for Complacency in the Global Representation of Minors by Agents!. >(14:05) - Global Confusion & Conflict Regarding Regulations on the Representation of Minors. > (16:12) - Player Moves Prompt Concerns of Representation Agreement Validity. > (17:43) - Agent Dilemmas Over Agreements for the Representation of Minors. >(20:22) - Guest Interview - Jeremy Salley - US Soccer Agents Scene & The American Influence on World Football. > (22:10) - From a Basketball Scholarship to Career as a Soccer Agent. > (25:25) - 'FIFA-Gate' Leaves the US Soccer Agent Scene 'Stable & Clean'? > (27:28) - Impact on Agents from the Single-Entity MLS. > (31:14) - Patience & Reality for Operating in the USA. > (38:34) - Differences Between 'Agent' and 'Talent Management'. > (40:43) - Role of Soccer Agent Compared to Agency from America's 4 'Big Beasts' (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL). > (43:03) - Impact of NIL (Name Image Likeness) on Soccer in the USA. > (52:48) - US Soccer Thoughts : Free-Agents, HomeGrown, Salary Publications, CBAs etc. > (54:56) - Agent vs Talent Manager; A Possible Excuse for FIFA with FFAR? > (58:38) - FIFA Email Announces Enhancements for FIFA Agent Platform. >(60:52) - Will Key Departures Change the Dynamic of the FAWG (FIFA Agent Working Group)? >(61:55) - Announcements & Notices > (63:12) - Disclaimer >======RELATED LINKS :Bridge Gap Sports--MLS CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement)--Court of Justice of the European Union - Case number = C-365/23Contract between a supplier providing services for development and career support for sportspersons and a ‘rising star’ sportsman of minor age--FIFA : Article 13: Representation of Minors - legal minimum age for signing a professional employment contract======FEATURED ARTICLES & POSTS :Man Utd and Man City academy players at centre of age-fraud claims--Scandal in England: Illegal Players at Manchester City and Manchester United======EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTSFootball Forum Hungary--Global Sports Expansion: Its impact on sport in the Balkans and beyond=====SHOW LINKS:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theagentsangle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter (X)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ======CREDITS :Theme Music : Agent Red by AbbynoiseMusic ...
