Not only is he not dead, he’ll get to read how much everyone loves him. What a day!

Tancredi is a known bullsh*tter. Don’t believe it until you see the coffin.
What a disgraceful bastard that boom merchant is. Reporting on someone's death prematurely as if it's Hulk to Chelsea transfer news.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
He epitomised a lot of what is wrong with modern day football and was a leach who takes money out of the game into pockets where it has no business of being. However, there is an element of hate the game not the player. He was just a symptom not the cause who made both himself and many of his clients very rich - if it wasn’t him it would be someone else. There should be governance regulating money in football funnelled out of it via middlemen but the people who would be in charge of that governance such as FIFA and UEFA are every bit a part of the problem as people like Raiola.

That was my considered view after hearing he was dead. Having learned he’s still very much alive he can feck off the leaching cnut :lol:

Don’t get the hate for the man. He’s just a pretty common dude who managed to get very rich by going into a business, that’s filled to the brink with money. The issues he’s being blamed for aren’t his creation or fault, he’s at worst a symptom of those. Don’t think he’s ever done any harm to someone other than convincing them to overpay for his players and himself. Which I struggle to find much fault with, really.
If there are some scandals I have missed, I take everything back. But from my view, some fans dislike him mostly for making players expensive for their clubs and causing lots of transfer headlines that annoy them.
I think he’s disliked partly for being so outspoken about his clients to the press. Which is obviously unsettling for their club/team-mates. And partly for being a big driver for the fairly recent trend of agents taking staggering sums of money out of the game at a time when so many clubs are in deep financial shit.

Remember when lots of people believed his every word?
Imagine following up 'breaking' news of "Mino Raiola has died" with "He's not dead" and trying to spin it as a second exclusive :lol:

Is he even ill? I wouldn't be surprised if he's smoking a cigar at home having the biggest laugh of his life.

I'm getting deja vu in this thread. Better not bring out the smileys or I'll get banned again.

It was actually the binary nature of your response that prompted my twatty remark. In your mind you either like Raiola or enjoy seeing players struggle for minimum wage. There is no middle ground, as is the custom on the internet.

Good players would get paid with or without Raiola. It's supply and demand. He's just a smart capitalist who got obscenely rich by getting involved in said supply and demand.
What professional footballer is earning peanuts? You must have a very privileged life if you think they do.
Peanuts compared to the money their club make. I’m not a fan of them making the obscene amount of money they currently make, but if the alternative is to have those money go into the owners pockets then I’m content with what they’re earning right now.

You mean from the pockets of massive multinational orgs into players?

Fair play to that nurse for having the wherewithal to repeatedly whisper his cut of the Haaland deal into his ear.
