    Do we know anything about this guy, not highly thought of in Glasgow evidently. I had never heard of him but he has history evidently.

    Says pretty much everything I'd expect him to say in all honesty.

    I'll judge him on what he does behind the scenes, rather than in front of the cameras.

    No opinion until I see how he operates, then I'll make my judgement

    Agree - but the last "football" man to be a high board member at our club was Niall Quinn - knew loads about footy - but the wages we ended up paying were (relatively) astronomical iirc! Chairmen and Chief execs need to be business men not football men IMO

    he plays a good tune on the xylophone, apparently.

    i thought he came across well. the kind of slick ****er we need as CEO, not some big-titted Irish lass with nee clue. A step-up for me...

    Maggie big tits is now a football agent. Wonder why.




    Jorge Mendes

    Agency: Gestifute International

    Represents: Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, Eliaquim Mangala, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Fabio Coentrao,Diego Costa, Thiago Silva, Tiago, Radamel Falcao, Angel di Maria, David de Gea, Jose Mourinho.

    Contracts worth: £626.3m

    Commissions: £62.8m

    Mendes is the undisputed top dog of football agents, negotiating more than £625m in player contracts, including a £135m deal for client Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Ronaldo returned the favour when his agent recently got married, buying him with a Greek island as a wedding present.

    Sir Alex Ferguson wrote in his new autobiography Leading: 'There are some decent agents, but you don't need all the fingers of one hand to count them. Jorge Mendes is one.'

    Agree totally. Leave to the Manager to decide on who he wants, pass on to the Chief Exec so they can do the deal from a Business perspective.
