<p>In November of 2017 at the FIFA Executive Football Summit in Istanbul, President Gianni Infantino declared his intention to reform the practices of football agents.</p> <p>Now almost 4 years later and there is a proposed regulation to do just that. But high-profile agents won’t go down without a fight and recently they’ve been speaking out. It appears agents and FIFA are on a collision course destined to end up in court.</p> <p>Today we analyze the conflict and ask, why are football agents at war with FIFA?</p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong></p> <p>Daniel Geey (<a href= "https://twitter.com/FootballLaw?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@FootballLaw</a>) is a leading sports lawyer for Sheridan and the author of <em>Done Deal: An Insider's Guide to Football Contracts, Multi-Million Pound Transfers and Premier League Big Business</em>.</p> <div><strong style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Support Us:</strong></div> <div> <p><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/FootballToday">https://www.patreon.com/FootballToday</a></p> <p><strong>Follow Us:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/FT_Podcast_">@FT_Podcast_</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.FootballTodayPodcast.com">www.FootballTodayPodcast.com</a></p> <p><strong>Music:</strong></p> <p>The music for this episode was provided under the Creative Commons license by <a href="http://www.sessions.blue/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Blue Dot Sessions</a>.</p> <div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Haena’ by <a href= "http://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blue Dot Sessions</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Slow Dial’ by <a href= "http://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blue Dot Sessions</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Vik Fence Haflak’ by <a href= "http://www.sessions.blue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blue Dot Sessions</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:
