Being close to Easter helps in the resurrection I guess

So he's back to being a cnut for now.
Has everyone stopped pissing their knickers now then?
Such terrible news.
Elon? You forgot you are the one arguing for making the billionaires (owners) richer than the players.
Anyone that thinks the likes of Pogba and Haaland couldn’t get a transfer to United and City without Minos help, or that the £40(!) million paid to him sees the player earn more, is an idiot.
This thread has been a ride.

Reassuring that his tweeted a proper Raiola type tweet. Anything else and I’d think it was just one of his people covering up.
Wish him a speedy recovery. To those that take his stuff personally, it’s just business, and no doubt he is amongst the best at what he does and loved by his allies and hated by his business rivals. As a person don’t know him, but to be an agent you have to have great people skills and empathy.
which part?
The Monty Python's The Holy Grail scene " bring out your dead " scene seems rather apt here.
I think we all knowwhich part?
I think we all know
This reminds me of :
So he's not dead then?
Inappropriate Content
Unfortunately not.
Come on mate.
What? How does an agent getting 25m in agent fees result in players making money? That money is going to an entity that has sod all to do with football. It is a middleman. It is dead money. Gone from the game.
So many precious people... "RIP" and "so sad".
I wish he could feck off from my club, not from planet Earth ffs.So many precious people... "RIP" and "so sad".
The devil doesn't give up that easily.
Do you care that much either way? I won't be taking out a hit on the man but if he did die then a shrug of the shoulders is all I could muster... Certainly not gushing condolences.
There are nearly 7 billion people on this planet, I'm not willing to pretend I'm sad whenever one of them dies, particularly one I never had much fondness for in life.
Performative respectfulness feels a bit of an overreach to me, but each to their own...
They or most of them cant get to where they are without Mino help from when they were kids and no one looked at them or give them contract.
Most successful agents financed them from when they're nobody, poorly trained, and no one to support them. These agents trust their assets, be it for financial reason or whatever they took that risk.
It's naive to think that players allegiance to him starts when they're making money. And they might be leeches to football fans but to their player they're their benevactor when they're nobody
Some even go the distance to support their poor family without any assurance they'd get their investment back if they dont make it.
What have the club give them? Nothing.
Big contract? Sure only if you're good. If you're not you're thrown in the rubbish bin.
Can’t we leave these ‘is it ok to slag someone off when they die provided they’re a cnut?’ debates to the general forum?
Careful, if you go near anyone with hemophilia you are going to potentially kill them with all those edges you have.So many precious people... "RIP" and "so sad".
Oh no RIP or such thing from me either. Wishing him drown in pizza is a bit much though.
Acknowledging the death of another human doesn't make you precious. Id rather a forum full of precious people that faux edgy guys like you though.So many precious people... "RIP" and "so sad".
It's not about feeling sad. Not feeling sad is understandable. We dont know him personally.
But there are people taking joy in seeing his demise, and all he does is good at what he's doing, making money. Which is fair play. He doesnt kidnap players and forced them at gun point by the way
No, he's actually in the hospital in critical condition last i heard
Guess he wants ten million upfront first
Can't speak for others but I dislike him because of his exorbitant greed. That goes for everyone who is greedy and demands more than they need in life
Footballers are good at football but not the brightest when it comes to their finances. Agents represent the footballers best interest in securing their fair share for them. If they were such useless middlemen, players would not want agents. The only entity that's getting hurt by the agents are the club owners and execs who are sharing profits. This is why they spread "greedy agent" news all over.
It's like saying the money from a sports nutritionist is "gone from the game". It's not. Agents take a fee for fairer distribution of wealth.
There are mass murderers , rapist, pedos, war criminal etc. To hate and find joy from from the suffering of a businessman who’s practices haven’t even harmed anyone in the public is actually pretty low. What’s he done? Got the best for his clients and angered clubs, struck a hard bargain, made money for his clients and himself? Hardly a crime.
There’s what you’re criticising in your post, which is general human kindness. And there’s what you’re not condoning, eg hating a businessman and taking pleasure in his suffering which is actually abnormal. If I get talking to a stranger, and he/she tells me they’ve just lost someone close I’ll pass on my condolences. I won’t know the first thing about the stranger or who he’s lost. Now with Raiola, from what I know there is nothing really offensive about him on a personal level.
This whole dead undead thing on the Caf is a bit confusing now. I mean, Who is more dead to us currently - GNev or mino?
Ok, this was a bit funny.
Hopefully he pulls through and then his firmly back to cnut again.
Unfair. Mino Raiola would be the first one to share his eulogies if your average caffer went down.So many precious people... "RIP" and "so sad".
Is he really a cnut? It is his job to act in his player's interest. That by definition puts him in conflict with the club.
