Can you spot the coincidence between these three?

Well, I retched each time I opened one if the links. Does that count?

They are all Carlos Kickaball's, although a quick glance at their stats confirms that they don't kick many

They are all playing for the same random Romanian club. Well apart from one was at that club but has left in 2018.

Same agent?

Rosado a different club every year yet few appearances. Good earner, I chose the wrong career path.

Their careers have absolutely hurtled down hill since being here? Would suggest we were well above their level. Mmm

Good spot this. Would be very interesting to see which individuals/agencies are involved behind the scenes at that particular club.

I wouldn't imagine the answer would be that surprising. Myles Anderson will probably end up there next.

I still remember the most blatant case of agents picking the team was when Kean played Edihno upfront on his own against a strong Leicester defence.

Wasn't there a link found between Singh and the players agent in that they played together in Malaysia or have I imagined it?

[Mike E]

I always thought Fabio Nunes was a decent little winger when I saw him. In the Greek Super league now (probably about L1 or L2 level) so not entirely horrendous I suppose.

Not sure we can credit Uncle J for 'unearthing' the Portuguese lads. Shebby Singh authorised those, not Kean, so expect it was one of his 'friends' in South America.

Was it Bruno Ribeiro's dad that just so happened to himself be an agent? What an amazing coincidence that was.

He's at Chester now. Torquay terminated his contract recently. He'll be the new Smalling any day now.

Surprised to hear he got a club actually

News of his tackle travelled quickly.

Club Actually sounds like a low-budget follow up to Love Actually, based around a football team.

I don’t think it’s uncommon for footballers and football professionals to have family members involved in and around them, particularly that aspect. Aren’t many agents ex players? By that stance many “failed” players would be too. I’m sure I read Vinny Grella is now an agent... I imagine he isn’t the most punctual...

Neymar the world record transfer? Orchestrated by... Neymar snr.

Its all about who you know in a gravy train industry. Not just what you know. (In Steve Kean’s instance, just who you know)

7 years in the game at 12 different clubs, about 70 appearances (don't know how many were as a sub) but most at Amateur level (Italy) or National League (England). It's all about turnover..

Who's the Agent?

[benhben]

I was expecting Steve Kean to have taken over at the Romanian club

They were all crap then but stealing a living and they're still crap now but still stealing a living?

Ha ha . Hugh Grant as Myles and Danny De Vito as Jerome 

You actually reminded me of a show on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/ie/title/80030346 

I came back from the pub one night and watched 2 episodes. Thought to myself "Jesus that wasn't bad,fills the football drama niche that has been open since Dream team." The following evening I put an episode on sober. About half way though I was like "what was I thinking??". It's almost worth watching for being so bad it's good. I would recommend having around four 6.5% beers beforehand.

Give it time if Coyle can keep getting jobs the same pals will find that rat one somewhere, always wondered what the real reason he's holed up over in Brunei so long for is.

Kean's Brunei gig ended/ends at the end of latest S League.
