I think it's a good idea. Anything that starts to bypass agents is a yes from me. They're absolute scum!

Did this event take place around the north west of England? If not I’m surprised he managed to find it.

I read about this event taking place and hoped we’d been involved. Hopefully stuff like this becomes the norm and agents are hung out to dry

He claimed on twitter that if Boris becomes PM that he is leaving the country, so he may not be in that role much longer.

agents are greedy bloodsucking scum so anything that users them less can only be a good thing..

Who is recruiting for must be the womens team

To be fair to all our signings so far have looked among our better players....and not a penny spent. Unfortunately it looks as if there isn't an actual penny to spend so it may just require two or three quality loans and if this type of event helps then it has to be a good thing.

The owners are treading on very thin ice this season though and if Ross churns out the same shite as last season the atmosphere won't be pleasant over the SOL.

If agents didn’t exploit the players, the clubs would.

We're like the ugly bloke on love island having a 3 knuckle shuffle in the jacuzzi....

Modern professional football is capitalism at it’s worst

Proven in the division, where are the diamonds?

If I thought there were any other strings to our bow I’d say this is a good move. When our entire approach seems to be build on contacts and who you know rather than what, I’m less than impressed.
