Does Darren Dein represent players from other clubs? Seems like he's got himself a very cushy gig going on here.
Nah, he represents others and, to be fair, if I was a professional player, I'd have him somewhere in my camp too.
It's interesting, isn't it? on one hand, just like captain says - you'd want him on your side, just as you'd like that cold blooded lawyer that gets results on your side, even if you secretly think he's a dog for running over people like a truck.
But on the other hand that cushy gig he's arranged for himself looks like it's on sudden death course, unless he tones it down somewhat.
Stuff like "ban him", which is not really possible, if heard too much (and it is already - this here is not the first suggestion I hear) is pretty risky. Clubs can find ways around it (my earlier suggestion was that it just may be that we actually are witnessing the first serious move to block him and his dark ways), managers will not be interested in players represented by him (it'll be like an injury record parallel category), and then players will want to avoid him.
In short, what seems like a winning formula could be a recipe for disaster, a self beating method. This is particularly risky as it's not done innocently: he has a special position, sort of in house privilege, which he is not only using, he is abusing in the worst way (remind you of le-grove Flynn talk a couple of days ago - "he's out for revenge". Against us).
Making enemies is not the best way to build yourself that cushy gig - not if you want to do it long term.
I'm left wondering how much of all this is true, and how much pure speculation.
