what's in common here? No, not that all of their last names begin with the letter s, but none of these guys have a FIFA liscense to be agents/managers, yet they are so involved in the transfer of players :doh:

Such players as Ante Rukavina, Danijel Subasic, Mirko Hrgovic, Goran Sablic and others are represented by these clowns.

Because they are not FIFA approved, they shouldn't be allowed to deal with transfers or have contracts with players

We all heard the stories of Eintracht Frankfurt and Rukavina/Soso, you don't think Frankfurt spread that news around? It's not hard to see how professional clubs from abroad don't want to deal with these people

Btw, here is a list of all the agents in Croatia (FIFA approved), Domagoj Bilic is Slaven's brother, Dario Knezevic is the highest profile player in the agency and the Sharbini brothers as well. Mario Mamic is also FIFA approved

What about Davor Suker, doesn't he represent some players?

 

[HajdukSplit]

don't think so, I think he only runs a "academy", which is really a money making business for him, none of those kids learn anything

according to that list Ciro is one, unless it's a different Miroslav Blazevic, it has maksimir in his email
Damir Jozic is Srna's agent I believe, Marko Naletilic is Modric's agent, Sanjin Ugarkovic represents most of the Rijeka players and the Sharbini brothers (made a mistake, Sharbini bros are not represented by Bilic)
Predrag Racki is a big name too, not sure though who he works for, I keep seeing his name in the papers though
Domagoj Bilic represents Dario Knezevic, Sinisa Linic

 

[Lynx17]

Damir Jozic is Srna's agent I believe

I believe it's Damir Stimac.

 

[coreuptrec]

i thought Suker was an agent...wasnt he partners with Niko's agent the guy that got shot?

 

[Lista]

I believe it's Damir Stimac.

Yeah, Srna is Stimac's player, 100%. And I mean Igor

 

[HajdukSplit]

which is why he was critical of Bilic during the Macedonia game, and of course Srna comes in and saves the day p

 

[Opsajd]

according to that list Ciro is one, unless it's a different Miroslav Blazevic, it has maksimir in his email

it's his son Miroslav Jr.

 

[MaidenMadness]

suker was in whole agent business for a while. together with pokrovac he was an agent to kranjcar. but i don't think he ever got really involved a lot and that he was there just waiting to pick up the money when niko goes abroad.

as for the whole agent deal. everywhere in the world they are one of the biggest problems. its not just croatia, even one england has had scandals involving agents and managers. one thing is for sure football would be better off without agents and the whole business side of the football in fact. wherever there is huge money flowing around there will be people with suspicious backgrounds and histories and there will be dirty business behind the scenes...

There is an article in this weeks Globus about Croatian agents/managers.
Aparently the HNS who licences managers in Croatia under FIFA, is supposed to fine any player that has a signed contract with an agent that isn't FIFA licenced, starting from a min 50,000 swiss franks.
HNS naturally doesn't enforce it.
It also says that Kalinic is looked after Tomislav Erceg and some sort of buisnessman/boxing official called Željko Golub, if so, so much for him being a free agent.
