Not defending anyone. Just pointing out the absurd vitriol aimed at someone doing his job.
Doing his job? 2 issues there..
As an agent, it's not his job to disrupt the changeroom, team dynamics/mood and undermine the manager...and be a cnut.
2nd, what is his job? There is now a grey area betweem 3rd party ownership and agency, especially when the agent has certain financial rights attached to the player as if they own the player.
An agent is exactly what the word means...just an agent. A proxy for the player. Player doesnt have time to negotiate, so agent steps in for the player and represents him.
Something is totally wrong with (1) rioala's behaviour; and (2) agency in today's game. Both need fixing.
