Won't be missed.

Wonder where that leaves Pogba? Me thinks he'll be desperate to sign a new deal now.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Have they claimed him yet?

If only everything he stood for had died instead. What an awful legacy of greed.

He'll be ok.
Not like he hasnt died before

Not even the first time this week.

It's at times like this, that I remember not to speak ill of the dead. So Mino: ...

Football’s Rasputin

Reports in Italy coming out the last few minutes that he passed away.

If true that is a massive loss in Football with the influence he had in the game 2 decades.

Mino Raiola "fighting to survive" after Italian reports football agent had died

Mino Raiola - the agent of Paul Pogba, Erling Haaland, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gianluigi Donnarumma and other big-name footballers - is reportedly "very ill" in hospital

Very sad to die at such an age of true.

However football can do without the likes of that crook.

*Edit. Yeah, not dead.

*Second edit. Dead.

This thread is a wild ride! As i said though. Very sad at that age .

I'm probably alone here but I don't really agree with the idea he was a menace to the game.

It's the lack of regulation combined with the amount of the money in the game that will always create these situations

You just need to look at Messi and Neymar. They have had their fathers as agents who have acted as much like parasites as any super agents with the amount they've secured for themselves while itching for moves/extensions over the years.

He absolutely was.. there's about 3-4 of them that have destroyed football completely.

Sad for a young man to die.
But he's no loss to the game . It's the likes of him have destroyed It

I would say he didnt destroy it but more he benefited from the dirty greedy money obsessed farce it has become.

If he had been on the Titanic, he'd have been selling tickets for the lifeboats.
