Are Sisu a hedge fund at Cov?

It will certainly be interesting again as there should be a lot going on,they will have to decide on a ceo to run the club with them being based over there whether be be Garlick or their own.They will have to sort a manager(just hope they still dont want Mixu) then there is the retained list and targeting several new players.

 

Finally will they do anything with season ticket prices

Hedge funds are generally only a good thing when your part of one. Doesn't bode well

It was fun while it lasted.

It's not been fun having Stoke fans rip the **** out of Vale, particularly our Chairman

[Paul6754]

There is no argument there. Some of the players have salaries much higher than anticipated. Indeed some of our highest earners do not feature much, if at all, for the first team. So the question we need to ask is how much of the salaries attributed to these players, and other players, have an element going directly to the agency? Apparently this is not an uncommon practice and the origins of such practice is connected to the days of third party ownership.

 

I have also discovered, from an agent, that in the past some Chairman and Managers have in theory paid a high salary to a player with the unwritten agreement that part of that high salary goes back directly to said Manager and/or Chairman. Surely that would not happen with a reputable agent would it? Of course we do not know about the credentials of the agents involved in signing our players, or do we?

 

Is that a reputable agency that does things according to the rules? Has our self proclaimed Technical Director any knowledge of such practices given his extensive knowledge of the game? These are reasonable questions, I wonder if the FA compliance unit would be interested in seeking answers on our behalf? I suspect they would not be.

 

I was thinking exactly the same last night and I don't have any answers apart from it makes me feel sick to my stomach particularly when these schemes are being perpetrated on PVFC and its players.

 

It seems to me "Football agents and consultants" need to be highly regulated and their work highly scrutinized 'cause the potential for exploitation and mis-management is huge and in the end it's the fans who pay for this.

We know that Smurf uses OVF.Even if he has kept away from OVF someone will have told him what is being said by PB / MV.Now IF I was Smurf and what is being said is untrue.I would have said on the official club site that what is being said is untrue and legal action will follow.

He said that the Americans were there at 11am but he also said nothing would be announced until 1 May.
