Neville hits out at agents

Manchester United captain Gary Neville has called for agents to be removed from the game.

The England international full-back feels money is being taken away from the game and has called on players to become more responsible for their own actions.

Neville feels The Professional Footballers' Association is a strong enough body to represent the players and wants them to initiate a change in thinking.

"The PFA need to continue to do a lot of the good work they are doing," Neville told Sky Sports News.

"There are a number of things I personally would like to see. I would like to see the removal of agents in the game.

"When we have a union as strong as we have, I think the union could help with the correct education of players and make those young players not so reliant on other people who are going to take money off them.

"The PFA does not want to take money, it wants to give and that would be one of the positives along with all the other good work they do."

Asked if he felt there were any good agents in the game, Neville added: "I don't know many.

"There is a concern for me and there always has been. How a guy can go in and ask for your wage and expect to be given hundreds of thousands of pounds and sometimes millions in this day and age, I can't see it.

"That money is going out of the game. The clubs should keep that money. The players if they are due it should keep it and certainly not agents.

"It won't change until the players become more responsible for their own actions. The problem is that a lot of players believe they need them and it is not the case.

"You need good accountants and good advice, but you don't need to be paying hundreds of thousands of pounds."

Today's world of soccer involves money, money and lots of money.
Frankly speaking, if Pele or Maradona were to play till this date, their wages would probably reached a million a week! More so for Maradona cos he's a money-faced guy. Mr. Green

Looking at how LA Galaxy pay crazy money for someone who's well over 30, out of the National team and out of Club football(for the time being) is simply astonishing. Quit acting as if Beck's value as a footballer is high, you signed him business-wise eh Galaxy?

And players like Neill choosing West Ham over Liverpool becos "they treasured me better". WTF! if you were to choose between a 40k per week, no guarantee first team football but of higher club status and 70k per week, first team regular and relegation threatened side, which will you choose? Well, apparatly, some arse thinks that money is more important than prospect. Mr. Green

Agents are like blood-suckers. Whenever a player performs, they'll suck up to the player, unsettled him and "force" him to transfer club for the agent's commission benefit. I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo decides to leave United becos of his agent.
