    Nah. Agent doing his job.
    He's not paid to worry about you, the club or other players.
    He's paid to get Carney the best deal he can.

    When you all start handing back wages, giving up pay rises and never trying to get ahead in your careers then you can complain..

    Wake up, he gets the best deal FOR HIMSELF, not Carney.

    The world is littered with players who have left a club they were perfectly happy with on an agents say so - either promised more riches or career prospects.

    Usually obvious when the said player fronts the media with stilted conversation about why he is leaving.

    Wait, did you really just give me 'wake up'?
    Oh wow.

    Anyway, player has final say on who his agent is, player has final say on where he puts his signature.

    If you believe that poor Dave is just a pawn in this bit old scary world then I can't do anything for you man.

    Also, FYI, I'm as woke as anyone out there (ask q-man), you wanna know if Jet fuel can melt steel beams, I'm your man.

The Jets are under no obligation to do anything now and are at an advantage as to let him go now means money in the bank.

    The Jets are not being fooled and Carney should indeed sack his agent - if we can spot these tactics straight away it shows a lack of cunning in the bloke.
    Why should he sack his agent??

    Paddy Dominguez is doing his job properly. HE is trying to get the best deal for his client. The more he gets Carney the more he gets for himself.

    It is his job is to represent Carney and get him the best deal he can.

    Vicious World I know

    It is the Jets job to sign him if they desire how they like.


    Quite frankly I will be happy if he is gone.

    Do some of you blokes not realise that this is a workplace we are talking about?

    Buying a ticket doesn't give you the right to determine the employees wages.

    Buying a ticket though gives us the right to deem that player is over paid or being underpaid on their value to the club and be critical of their performance and effort though

    Hey man you don't even need to buy a ticket to have an opinion.

    Just Spare me the concocted outrage when players, agents and clubs don't give a shit what you think.

    Cause they don't.
    Nor should they.

    Disagree.

    No shareholders = No company

    No fans = No club

    Millions of football players out there, surely we can find someone with some talent that isn't a washed up smurf/coastie/liverpoo player.

    Oh wait, we're the Jets.. We can't do that

    Id say more 'delusional' if you think Carney is gonna stay or go based on the fans bleating.

    Never said he would stay or go based on the opinion of fans.

    I think you misunderstanding me.

    I have no issue with his posturing in the media between him and his manager.

    Not the best look but it happens and understand the reasons why.


    My gripe is more with Carney on the park and the way he conducts himself. Yes he has some talent. Yes he is one of the best players at our club.
    He though doesn't represent himself as passionate for the shirt and the club and the fans enough.

    He is the one bloke who looks like he couldn't care less about the club and that grates me big time.
    He doesn't even give the perception he gives a **** at times


    I though don't believe we need to keep him.

    Moving Forward without him to me is a good idea

    Eland did not cover himself in any glory either with his quotes. Typical agent mentality and not much better from Eland. For a bloke who is meant have plenty of business acumen going for him he certainly let himself down with his comments. There is probably plenty of truth to Elands comments but some things are better thought than said. Bloke showed a poor choice of words.

    Like Carney or not the last thing we need is one of our better performers dropping his bundle because our CEO and the player agent are having a spat in the media.

    You know the old say'n , arguing with an idiot only proves there are two.

    Eland has had a shocker in regards to this situation.
