Quinn reckons agents are the only beneficiaries from the January window.
“Put it this way, if I was a football agent and I got all the other agents together and said, ‘How can we get more money out of these clubs?’, we would invent a transfer window system,” he told Sunderland’s official website.
“There is not one fan of it, other than agents who know that when panic ensues, players are bought for larger transfer fees and larger agency fees.
“I have nothing personally against agents – they have a job to do – but what a helping hand this transfer window business gives them. It’s stupid stuff.”
