Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has hit out at agents as he feels sometimes they even try and select the team for him. In the past, agents have called him and complained that their player has not been in the starting eleven.
âWhat I found amazing is that agents will ring the chairman [Daniel Levy] and complain about their player not playing, you know, âWhat is your manager doing, why is he picking this player?â â Redknapp said.
âThatâs something thatâs new to me and I find it strange and very difficult to deal with â if a player hasnât got the courage to come and see you himself and ask why heâs not playing and get his agent, who would know nothing about football anyway, to ring.
âHe [the agent] is only there because [the player] is a money-making machine. Heâs got no interest in the player when he finishes his career probably, but will ring up the chairman and ask why youâre not picking this particular player.
âIâm lucky that the chairman doesnât take any notice and he tells me about these idiots who ring him. But I just find it amazing that they have the nerve to do that, and Iâm amazed that the player is weak enough to let his agent ring up the chairman and ask why heâs not playing.
âHe should be coming to see me, knocking on my door. But that is whatâs going on and Iâve come across it more and more in recent times.â
