Dr. Akutsugud, sports agent and sports lawyer.

Okay, what is the most popular misconception that football fans have about a football agent?

I mean, that's what is in the news, I would say, what they read about agents and

generally there is a bad image regarding agents because they get so much money from the clubs.

That's what they think and that they're greedy. And I wouldn't say it's the agents which should

be blamed for everything. I'm saying like in every profession, they're good ones and bad ones.

Yeah. They're good agents, bad agents like good lawyers, bad lawyers. And the same as with the

agents is nothing different. But it's obviously it's easy to blame the agents because the agents don't

have like a kind of a community that can back them and help them in the media and everywhere else.

So they just literally more alone by themselves. And for the clubs, it's easier to blame someone and

it's the agents when they pay a lot of money. They don't have to pay sometimes that much money,

especially on the club site. That people don't know that a lot of agents act on behalf of the clubs.

Yeah, I just give you an example. I'm going to make a deal. I'm representing a player,

suddenly from the other side, there are two agents coming up and saying we are representing

that club. And I'm saying why that club needs now two other agents involved to pay agency fee.

If I'm the agent of the player and they just have to pay me. So it's suddenly they're paying three

agents and it's a lot of money. And then in the end, if the club's paying so much money to

agents, they say, oh, hey, the agents are the bad guys. No, sometimes they put the agents into the game.

Yeah. Yeah. But do you think that so in that in that particular example, in that case,

do you think that although we've seen an increase in regulation over the years,

do you think it still needs to be more closely regulated? Yeah. I mean, at the moment,

there's no really a regulation to become an agent. You have to pass a fee for a test.
