Quote ="fat faced fan"mr shuttleworth does indeed have a duty of care to his clients and to the club's to whom he provides services. however it seems to me that he's made his mind up how things are going to go on franchise day, and that agents like him have an opportunity to cash in as big and as quickly as they could be considered to be making the situation at belle vue worse than it needs to be for this and next year. he could be considered complicit in our inability to even talk to players about contracts if what is rumoured is true.
the fact that you enjoyed shuttleworth’s company is of no relevance to this thread. i keep being told he’s a fan, but i’ve always viewed him as a rugby union man, first, second and third. he’s an agent so i’d guess that he likes money, and that is his motivation for being close to the club. in my broad view agents same throughout sport: manipulative, duplicitous and when it comes down to it callous.'"
I agree, in the main an agent and a clubs interests are poles apart, IMO football may have enough cash to waste on agents but RL does not.
I think if he has made an assumption that our players contracts may be null and void shortly, he is clearly an astute man, however his tactics to "get on with the job" before the announcement is made, may well be doing us no favours as a club.
Perhaps we could offer him a job!!!!!!
