Mr Price told him: “Listen Tommy, we need you to give us players from the clubs that you think we can get yeah? That don’t bring you into the firing line. As Pino says, the third party ownership.” Mr Pagliara asked about the Aberdeen striker Joe Nuttall, in whom he was interested. He also suggested that the Far East firm should consider representing Alfie Mawson, a Barnsley defender (who later signed for Swansea City). “I’m telling you the biggest certainty is Mawson,” he said. “But you understand I cannot have anything to do with it.” Mr Price suggested giving Mawson £100,000 to ditch his current agent and sign up with the Far East firm, saying: “I know that if I move Alfie Mawson to Newcastle I can go and get three or four hundred out of that, so if it costs a hundred grand to get another 300 grand on top, it’s worth doing.” Mr Wright: “And then you’ve got them.” Mr Price: “Correct, yeah. We’ll have hold over him, because we’ve given him a hundred grand and he will feel that he won’t ever be able to leave us because we’ve given him a hundred grand.” Mr Wright: “Yeah yeah.” Mr Price: “You might get two million out of him, three million out of him in his career, do you understand what I mean?” Mr Price asked: “Is there any players in that team you think we should get, any other players apart from Mawson?” Mr Wright replied: “[Conor] Hourihane… top champ. He guarantees you double figures in goals”. “Do you know who his agent is?” asked Mr Price, later adding: “We wanna start things rolling as quickly as we can. And obviously I’ll try that Conor kid, what’s his last name?” Mr Wright replied: “I’ll text you the names. I’ll text you all the names.”*
What it also shows is the complete disregard of a players career. A club or clubs it also affects. It clearly shows agents only in it to line their own pockets. If one good thing comes out of this is hopefully this far eastern set of ****s may just also be ****ed over. Livid. ****ing leave our club alone you ****s Edit And Tommy. Thanks for chucking names at then aswell. Imagine that. Giving names so they can push players to piss off aswell. Shame in you. Join that arsehole down the road (both of em)
First heard this from Tom Bradby on News at Ten, mentioning Tommy Wright in an expose by The DailyTelegraph. Disappointing is an understatement.
We seem to be the only club to have actually acted. QPR and Leeds just investigating. Although to be fair Wright comes across a lot worse than JFH Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This particular one yes. But I'm sure this far eastern link is very real. China wants to mop up everything. And the world is letting them
