Buddy splits with his manager Liam Pickering

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

SF celebrity management , run by Sharon Finigan , who also manages Jesinta Campbell , will now manage him.

If we've reached the point where this is significant news, I think I'd like to get off the ride now.

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

Why would he need an agent now? Oh I spose for lucrative third party and ambassador roles

 

[Pessimistic]

Was just a matter of time. Did pickers get a payout for nine years

Is Markson involved ?

 

[JUBJUB]

This is nearly as tragic news as when Brynee & Geoff,then Gabi & Geoff spilt up
How can our lives go on with this tragic news ?

Sweet, cushy role but. He's on a contract that will take him out until retirement - all you need to do is get cosy with the traffic police for the inevitable car crashes but that's about it.

Great work, SF Celebrity Management ... whoever you are.

The ride never ends..

free agency literally.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Ok.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Bad luck Pickers. You'd assume though he gets his licks for the next 9 years from the contract.

Yeah how terrible of a footballer to try and parlay their skills and fame into off-field income streams, that can generate a crust for them once their playing days are over.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Buddy splits with a banana.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Pickers got the commission, now getting out before the party Buddy inevitably makes an appearance and makes Pickers works for his money

 

[donbooger]

Pickering will have his payment or ongoings agreed on already, If it is set up so that Franklin could cut him off at any time and keep his fee then Liam is a fool.

 

[Quinz]

I just farted

He has a few milllion reasons why he can put his feet up after retirement (even an "early" retirement due to injury or substance addiction)

 

[BF Tiger]

I see no-one is really crying for Liam.

Looks like Pickers took all of Buddy's Cola allowance

its more like pickers wont get any of the cola as the drink in the picture is pepsi

Pepsi is Cola

 

[Black Diamond]

I thought player agents needed some kind of AFLPA accreditation.

Maybe that only applies for contract negotiations? That won't affect Franklin.

Snuh?

Yeah that's what I thought.

Maybe he'll say he's self managed for footy and has a celebrity agent. Or maybe AFL contracts have to be managed by AFLPA managers but you don't need one once the contract is done.

Can't help but think this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Pickers. No more % of Buddies off field money but probably a lot more time to work on other players.
