This is certainly progress and a welcome 'step in the right direction' with regards to digital-IDs for licensed football agents - so 'hats off' to The Football Association in England (The FA) 👏 . With these new digital-IDs due to 'go-live' next week on the 16th December. From the information released thus far, it seems that this form of digital ID (with the purported supporting mechanisms) is less open to manipulation and subversion. 🔎 Yet only time will tell, if that is going to be the case, and the actual implementation, education (of participants) and ongoing development is key.🧐 'Credit where credit is due' #TheFA, a step in the right direction and we believe a positive step for not just any #FootballAgent licensed in England; but all #football participants and stakeholders including players, clubs, managers and coaches. 👍

With a 'half-century' almost up on the 'scoreboard' for The Agents Angle with episode number 50 due to be released this Sunday - you can still catch up on the show's most recent episode (49) : https://lnkd.in/es359EwK (again Free of Charge, & Free of Adverts) But in the meantime, here is this week's edition of 'Quick Takes,' brought to you in association with 🎧 The Agents Angle 🎙⚽. #SoccerAgent #FootballAgency #FootballAgent #SoccerAgency #Football #Soccer #FIFAagent #FFAR

🎙️ Episode 49 of The Agents Angle podcast is now available! 🎙️ In this episode, we again dive into some of the most pressing issues in the #FootballAgency world. From a high-stakes dispute between an agent and #ManchesterUnited over unpaid fees to the tangled web of agent involvement in just one player’s career – there’s a lot to uncover. 🕵 Do such cases reveal more about the hidden layers of #footballTransfers and agent activity? ⚖️ We also discuss recent reports from the #FIFA #FootballAgents Exam, where concerns around potential cheating cast another shadow over the #FFAR process. Whilst FIFA seemingly continues to dodge invitations for open dialogue on such matters, this raises questions about accountability in regards to #AgentRegulation and #FootballGovernance. ⚽ 📜 And our special guest this week is Glyn Binkin, one of South Africa’s top football agents. Glyn shares his journey from mascot to national team general manager to leading #footballAgent, offering insights into the unique challenges and opportunities in #SouthAfrican football. 🌍⚽ His views on the local and global #football / #soccer landscape, as well as his experiences adapting to evolving regulations, are a must-listen for anyone in the industry!
