Izak has an agent who has a history of dodgy dealings Play hard ball

IZAK DONT sell to ANY Premier League rival DONT be bullied by the so called “Big 6” DONT sell CHEAP £150k min DONT allow Players to think they are bigger than the Club DO hold your stance and fine the player within the rules DO beat Liverpool on Monday DO ban his Agent from SJP
