| It's fair to say that Willie McKay symbolises everything that is wrong with agents in football. The agent incurred the wrath of Wigan fans for numerous incidences regarding players. |
Willie McKay first angered the Latics faithful when he advised former fans favourite Pascal Chimbonda to hand in a transfer request straight after the final game of the season, and then publicly complained when Wigan rejected offers that he himself thought were 'perfectly reasonable.'
Henri Camara was the next Wigan player that McKay attempted to unsettle,
he publicly talked up a move to Pompey, claiming the player wanted to move to the south coast. His actions continued to make him a one of the most resented men in Wigan.
As if unsettling Chimbonda and Camara wern't enough, the 'agent' then advised Roberts regarding the players new contract. In the end, Roberts left for Blackburn Rovers, and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan publicly stated he would never work with McKay again.
McKay was in the news again this week, as Manchester City made public that he was demanding a £100,000+ fee for renegotiating Joey Bartons contract, a demand that City up till now have rightfully refused.
