I think this is a huge market for agents , especially now the
salaries are starting to climb .
I would have thought that all the players in Championship , Nat
1 , Nat 2 would want representation to get Prem Contracts , and
that's just in England . Lower levels across the rest of the UK
also full of aspiring athletes . Europe wide Leagues , and then
the SH .. I should imagine that pool is many thousands of
players .
However , I think that the biggest pool would come from Junior
Clubs and Colleges/ Universities right across the UK - many
already identified by Counties , Academies and National Age
Groupings
Im sure the market is potentially huge , and these guys would be
scrapping over the signatures of youngsters and hoping they are
the next big thing .( like Dombrandt)
Kingston should have an advantage there as a talent scout and
Coach , cant be many agents that have played for their country
and been a DOR of a Prem side .

You can imagine he has his clients' pitch all ready.

Why do you think salaries are climbing? The salary cap hasn't
changed

Part of the reason we've let so many players go this season is
to bring in 'cheaper' options. A few players may have had
increases but most haven't and some players are being let go to
find the money for the players that have had increases.

And to have a smaller squad. Pay fewer people more money each -
ie salaries are rising.

Write up in TRP it seems that John wants to be involved with the
end of players careers alongside RPA and clubs effortS and they
are also targeting football players through Tony. If they can
prevent another CauCau that would be good indeed.
