'The Agents Angle' is joined in this episode by someone considered by many to be one of football's current 'super-agents', and one of the most prominent voices in the football agent world, Rafaela Pimenta. As well as being the agent for superstar players such as Erling Haaland (of Manchester City) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (of Inter Milan), Rafaela talks to the show about 'The Football Forum', including the aims, objectives and challenges that face TFF (as a Global body for football agents and players) and the wider agent world, especially with the problems created by the FFAR (FIFA Football Agent Regulations). This includes, asking whether FIFA has employed a 'divide and conquer' strategy towards agents, whether FIFA's stance on FFAR is 'softening' and also considers the role of agent education, the 'manipulation' of the public image of agents and how TFF is not a 'Gentleman's Club' as some perceive it to be. 'The Agents Angle' also looks at the news that another 'superagent' and legend of the football agent world has announced their retirement. PLUS, other reports where agents are quitting the industry, or looking to change roles to become amongst other things, Sporting Directors with football clubs.
