Jimmy & Fenners are joined this week by former player and manager – and current football agent – Paul Dalglish.
Paul talks about the changing role of a football agent in the modern game, the advice he received growing up from Kenny Dalglish and what Liverpool are doing right under Arne Slot.
Paul’s a vastly experienced figure in the game and there are loads of pearls of wisdom in this about dealing with young players, where agents have gone wrong in the past and what the future looks like for elite players working with agents blurring the lines between music, football and brands.
