Jewell Disappointed With Cropper s Agent Saturday, 28th Apr 2012 07:00
Boss Paul Jewell has criticised the way Cody Cropper’s agent handled the US U20 goalkeeper’s release by Town. The Blues boss decided not to offer the 19-year-old a new contract on the advice of the club’s goalkeeping staff, who didn’t think the US U20 international was quite up to the required level.
Jewell says he wasn’t happy that the players’ representative spoke to the Atlanta-born keeper before he had: “I was a bit disappointed with his agent because I’d spoken to his agent and his agent went and told the lad before I did. But I explained it to Cody and he understands that that was his agent’s fault.”
