Saint John Williams was just as, if not more pally with Simon Conning for the record. 

Was he the agent John Williams favoured?

Do you know why Jal is so against him?

[tomphil]

He was locally based years ago so obviously has a long relationship with the club.

Saint John Williams was good very good but wasn't the best, he had his faults.

Simon Comning ex SEM - JALS hate from him and Crown agency is the fact JEROME got him on board to sign the kids up on deals way beyond their ability or the norm.

[Lancaster Rover]

That may be the case but Simon was providing high numbers of players to rovers long before the days of Venky's. For what it's worth he provided higher numbers of players to one of the Merseyside clubs.

Everton.

his agency crown has grown quite a bit and seemingly focusses on youth players generally when you look at the FA transfer lists.

 

[Lancaster Rover]

It does now, originally he represented most the foreign players coming into Everton. He was the reason we had Andy Van Der Meyde on trial.

This is superb news!

Please refrain from using the word hate far from it. It's value for money on the football field from a supporters point of view which to be fair we haven't seen much of over the years that gripes me from Simons clients. 

Bradley Orr why was his extra year concealed or disguised from the supporters for so long.

Clients as in players chaddy just give you one in Bradley Orr. When the managers are in cahoots with agents and agencies then it should beome common in British football that the agent and agency becomes equally accountable as the manager or coach who's failed in his job, especially when we see the damage done to the UK game where there are less and less UK footballers playing the game at the highest levels.

If Brexit is to close the door on immigration, then hopefully the number of overseas footballers in this country will be restricted to just the Internationals. See that in league one of all places theres something like 32% of overseas players, now come on, what's happening here.

Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but Brentford, who a few years back dismantled their academy to instead focus on youth teams built on players released from other academies, played Benfica's "team B" with their under 23 team last night and won 5-0. Might be a hint that the traditional academy system isn't the only path towards success.

Good man.

Oconnell will be playing CB for Sheffield in the championship next year, he's a client of his how we should have kept hold.

And Cheston's positivity just shines through day after day. Which part of this Club is in ''good hands'' you simpering idiot??

Strange how everything becomes so, so positive and optimistic between the last game in May and the first one in August , year after year- even this year  when we have been dumped into League One.  Morons FC.

Another with a terrible injury record. Good player and very versatile so providing he can stay fit would be an excellent addition to fill in on either flank , lb and rb or centrally in midfield

Cheston comes across more as a lip licking butt snake every quote you read, you can see how he keeps his job despite putting his name to wasting more millions and overseeing relegation. Shocking really.

You keep your friends close & your enemies even closer. Somewhat cryptic but fully explains everything.

Reid has been first team coach at Reading for the past couple of seasons.

Heard that Tony Carss has left the Huddersfield academy to join the Rovers academy where I am told he will be head of coaching here. 

This has come from the Huddersfield fan

Do you mean Tony Carrs, who was head of coaching at Huddersfield?  A former player at Rovers in the mid-90s.
