nester Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I thought it was going to be a story about an insider plotting the destruction of BCFC and planning a revolution. How disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Not a bad job being a footballers agenthe said in court"On the day itself there were a number of other deals going on so I stayed in London and made some phone calls, one of which was to Colin Sexstone. I helped to get a number of points secured, which is why I invoiced Scott."So £14000 for one phone call to Colin Sexstone = which Colin Sexstone is quoted as saying he can't remember!You would think with a £300,000 deal going down (the cost to city of his wages) some one at the club might have written down details/minutes of any relevant phone calls - if in fact there was a call!The wages of £2500/week last season, curent £2600, and £2700 next season add up to about £300K with appearance and goal bonus on top - so the agent is claiming 5% of that for his "work".The football point is that Scott is on virtually Championship money (was £2900 at Reading as stated in court) and it would be nice to see some Championship form in return!!!!!!!!!
