Setting the Record straight: Jonathan Barnett and Mino Raiola defend role of agents

Football today is as much about what happens on the pitch as what happens off of it. Whether it is facilitating record-breaking transfers or ensuring that players are fairly compensated, agents play an enormous role in the game we all love. But in recent times there has been a marked shift in approach from bodies such as FIFA who are looking to limit the influence of football agents. As a result, The Football Forum (TFF) was born. TFF is an international association of football players and agents, united in identifying, implementing and developing the best practice of football agency and giving a voice to players and agents. With Mino Raiola (President), Jonathan Barnett (VP) and Daniele Boccucci (Director) of TFF, we are set to delve deeper than ever into the realm of what it means to be an agent and what football would be like without the immense amount of work they do.
