Petition: Get McKay out of football!
Posted by liam_wafc in Premiership, Wigan | 22 July 2006
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.
if you believe that McKay should not be allowed to continue in demanding extortionate fees and unsettling his clients (and if not, why?), sign the petition by clicking here

McKay is the worst kind of human being: one that values money over all else. He has no place in football.
what a horrible specimen this man really is. driven and motivated by greed with no regard as to the consequences of his actions and absolutely no thoughts whatsoever for the people who pay the wages of his employers and ultimately himself. may he be cursed with the incurable herpes.
The greatest service Willie McKay can do for football or the world is to crawl into a little hole and die. This man is the lowest type of human being, having unsettled many players and ripped off many clubs, he is begining his next despicable act. Attempting to unsettle, tap up and engineer a move for two of Scottish football's brightest talents: Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown. I hope this man is not only banned from football but also fined heavily by some organisation for being an all round prick.
McKay yer a pure baw bag!
Like a lot of things in life there are good and bad.As for Willie you can make your own mind up.By the way good agents use a bit of stealth to acquire wealth:-)
