doncha just hate football agents??

Football agents bug the hell out of me.

Today's three page special in the Birmingham Mail on Martin Taylor's agony at the Eduardo leg break is the result of a week's hard graft by our man at Blues, Colin Tattum.

His special relationship with the club and Taylor meant he was the only journalist to be given access to the player facing death threats.

Well, he was until Taylor's agent decided to give a mate on the nationals the same access at the last minute.

Which means the Mail piece today lost its absolute exclusivity.

I'm just glad that the 'other' paper that got the interview is the smallest national which no-one I know reads for it's football. And they tucked it on the back, as opposed to a page 1, 2 and 3 wipe out in the Mail.

Blues fans know to buy the Mail for such news, and I'm still confident we will have a sell-out day.

But football agents.... grrrrrrrrr
