I feel like Jim white talks as if he thinks he’s representing the common man, but doesn’t quite get there. Then just comes across as really ignorant and agenda driven. Very tabloid? Idk

Simon can be divisive sometimes but my lord that man knows footballing economics. Always a very interesting listen - i love how he refers to mino raiola cos honestly that guy is a slob and snake rolled into one

'The whole thing is a an egregious abuse on finances', spot on Simon. He may be a polarising person but he gives you a different insight into football economics than anyone else. Also, bang on about regulating agents!

Can you imagine what this would have sounded like if Jordan wasn't there to correct white. Jim white has no idea how clubs are run.

This was a master class 👏

Simon Jordan, top lad, cracking shirts. Different gravy.

Why are the clubs paying agents at all? They are the players agents surely they should be taking a percentage of their clients wages

Jim white is just not on Simons level!

Simon is very clever, Jim is very thick, end of story, Jim White can't even think of a good question for Simon period

Music and acting agents earn a far higher percentage from their clients then football agents. It is the clubs who are at fault.they the one's who paying agents to try and get the best players. Fees are based on the high wages they are prepared to pay their players.

Agents today are bottom feeders. Thief whole business model revolves around convincing players to move so they can get their percentage. They need to be regulated.

Well said Simon because one day the football in this country will go with a bang the wages for football players in the premier league is absolutely ridiculous and something needs to be done right across the board including agents fees🤬 As for Newcastle yes they let the government pay the staff on furlough not necessarily to reduce the players wages more because it’s Mike Ashley and in many people’s opinion he should fail the owners and directors test especially in the last 6 years on what he is doing too our club. Yes he has done some decent things in the early days but now he is stripping the club of every single Penny the club is rotten from the top. Ashley out Bruce out. 🤬
