What gutter reporting from the press. Hope he manages to pull through.

Yeah he's not dead, just severly ill. That journalist jumped the gun, the stupid bastard.
What even
Wow, so smart and so funny. Tell the guys who had cardiac arrests while playing football that you prefer them getting peanuts playing for your club so you can cheer Ole’s at the wheel @Samid ..
Someone who’s able to understand a text. Thank you!
From one of the biggest football news of the year to one of the biggest journalistic blunders in spors this year. A career defining feckup to report someone dead when they are not.
Remember when lots of people believed his every word?Tweet

It's so weird. EA should get on it, these people would be frothing to spend their cash on in-game purchases to have a little badge with a picture of their favourite dodgy agent.
Not sure about that. Makes his players a lot of money but every one of them is a case of what could have been. Depends what you prioritise as to whether he is good or not.
Oh' he's alive? Well in which case feck him, he's everything wrong with football, and parasites like him are a stain on our game (I hope he recovers).
If he's not dead then I wish to take my RIP back.
Otherwise it stands !

I hated him only because he rattled so many supporters with his comments. But he should be respected and admired. He did his job in a different and off the cuff way that should be respected. The fact he went toe to toe with big clubs and other agents like Mendes is admirable and clearly his players loved him. RIP.
If the reports of him still being alive are accurate then do we have to continue the charade of pretending he wasn't a dick?
RIP if he's dead btw.
RIP if he's dead btw.
All these fake RIPs just for the sake of it? I don't get it.
Just goes to show weasingly people for all that money can ultimately amount to nothing. If ever there's a black armband moment at United, I will well and truly give up.

In fairness to the unfunny people, the tweets explicitly stated that it wasn’t serious.
Presumably it was

The agent fees were too big. God has pulled out of the deal.
The big man was never dying the same year Pogba is going on a Bosman.
Anyone know what the illness is ? Heath attack ?
I was wondering why ESPN and Sky weren’t reporting it.
What an absolute cnut he is. Should be relieved of his job for such irresponsible reporting.
This thread is a shame. The man is fighting for his life but still there are smiley faces and questionable posts, and nobody really cares, why? Because he said a few hurtful words and wanted a lot of money. It wouldnt happen in other threads, where you'd be attacked just for not writing 'get well soon' or 'RIP' as if the person themselves can see it.
The title thread hasnt even been changed even though modmin are so quick to do these kinds of things sometimes.

Jeez they didn't like him did they?
Edit: I should probably use the present tense.
He was exposed to a lot of Dutch cuisine in his youth.
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.
Sad news condolences to his family
I hate the performative reaction when a famous person dies. Thousands will die today but because this guy leeches money off hard working fans for other famous people he's apparently deserving off widespread global mourning.
He doesn't deserve the respect from those that only know him via his leeching. I'm sure his friends and family will mourn the man not the agent.

He's still alive
The bastard lives on thankfully.

apparently not quite dead but in a bad way
Could be. He's had a fair share of Heath bars.
Which footballer was earning peanuts exactly? Didn't know he did pro bono work for non league football
What on earth are you on about?
Absolute bellend.
Edit: Tancredi Palmeri I mean, breaking the news like that then backtracking.
To be fair, he's not a truly evil man like Putin, he might be a nice guy in his personal life but as a professional I don't like him and I wouldn't be sad if he was no longer a part of the game.
Agree with this
What professional footballer is earning peanuts? You must have a very privileged life if you think they do.
Am I a bad person for finding this very funny?
