The aspect of Player Care has evolved rapidly in football in recent times, and should be recognised as an important factor for any conscientious football agent, club and player.
Yet, what role do agents have in the provision of player care, and do agents really appreciate and understand the value of player care and the role of player liaison professionals within clubs?
'The Agents Angle' welcomes @Hugo Scheckter as this episode's guest; a vastly experienced player care professional with many English Premier League clubs and now a trainer of many of those working in Player Care as well as an advisor to many elite clubs on their player care provisions.
'The Agents Angle' also takes a look at reports of an 'out of court' settlement between an agent and club, in a long-running dispute over the transfer of Emiliano Sala from FC Nantes to Cardiff City FC which sadly ended in tragedy. Could more robust player care provisions have helped possibly avert the disputes, but more importantly the tragic outcome?
The aspect of multiple agents being involved in a single transfer also brings 'under the spotlight' the topic of 'mandates'. What are they, how can they be used, how are they structured and what are the implications and considerations for football agents, clubs, and footballers in using mandates around the world?
