<p ="mol-para-with-font"=""><font size="5" style="font-size: 1.2em;">Three agents, including former Manchester United striker Danny Webber, were suspended by the Football Association for breaking rules surrounding representing academy stars.

<p ="mol-para-with-font"=""><font size="5" style="font-size: 1.2em;">Ex-Arsenal midfielder Paolo Vernazza and Glen Tweneboah were also charged by the authorities amid a crackdown on the treatment of young players.

Is this the one where Webber offeres an Academy player a financial incentive when he underage.

That's the one bud.

Job done.

Nice work if you can get it.

To be fair there's a reason agents exist. Clubs f**ked players around for far too long, players needed professional representation.

If you're a player going in for negotiations, and are getting offered 50k a week. If an agent can get 75k but takes 20%, you're still up money.

I see your point certainly in the early days agents played a very important role in football and there are still some who are genuine these days.

Its the ones who get money for doing feck all that boils my piss.

Too much money going OUT of the game for my liking.

Reading Cruyff book he was one the first players to bring an agent (his father in law) to contract negotiations.

His reason was he simply didn't understand the legal side of things so brought him.

Man U and Spurs target Ryan Sessegnon has put EPL clubs on red alert after switching agents ahead of a summer transfer tussle.

The 17-year-old sensation and his twin brother Steven have moved to Unique Sports Management who handle deals for stars like Harry Kane and Wilfried Zaha.

The brothers are are making the switch to USM with their current agents Andy Niedzwiecki and Joe Russo, avoiding any ugly contract disputes.

I thought Sessegnon was poor yesterday.
