Man City's Richards stuck in £1M
agents dispute
tribalfooball.com - November 17, 2006
Manchester City's teenage star Micah Richards is in the middle of a
£1 million agents' dispute.
The Daily Mail says Richards is being sued for breach of contract
by his former agents Team Associates.
Managing director Andy Hobson was quoted as saying: "He's under
contract with us and we're actively pursuing the action against the
player."
But his new representatives SEM claims it has been the player's
representative "for some time".
Team Associates claims Richards, who became the fourth youngest
player to represent England when he played in the friendly with
Holland on Wednesday, is still under contract for another
year.
According to the report, Richards decided to change his agents
shortly after his birthday in June.
SEM negotiated the player's new �15,000-a-week contract during the
summer.
Team Associates has employed sports lawyers Cramer Richards to
fight its case.
