To represent football players, any individual needs a FIFA licence to be actively involved in negotiations and discussions. A spokesperson for the football league tells us that, to be a registered agent a bond of 100,000 Swiss Francs needs to be lodged with them, and an examination taken, and passed, in the “etiquette’ of football agents representation”.
We can disclose that Mike Lewis has not taken this exam and does not have a FIFA licence to act for players. As he is also not employed by Swansea City Football Club in any capacity the football league will now look in to this latest piece of mismanagement and investigate Lewis fully.
The implications for him could be far reaching, as he clearly had no right to be involved in the transfer deal. The big question now is – What was Lewis doing negotiating players for sale and what was his cut ?
We have also been told the FAW have been contacted by a number of sources, reporting Lewis’s further breach of conduct.
Are you sweating yet Mike?
