A storm might be brewing over Andy Carroll’s move to Liverpool from Newcastle – or it will be if former agent Peter Harrison has anything to do with it.
Harrison was forced to declare bankruptcy in the wake of the deal – which he maintains he was unfairly cut out of after Carroll stated that he did not use an agent – after he missed out on a cut of the £35m deal.
He was left without the commission payment after an Fa arbitration hearing, despite his claims that rival agent Mark Curtis “tapped up” Carroll, which he understandably denied. The Fa found in favour of Curtis, much to Harrison’s dismay and outrage.
But Harrison isn’t allowing that decision stand without questions after he found that the five year deal that his former client signed in 2010 – revealed publicly on October 8th, and signed, according to him...

The Royal Observatory Greenwich kicked off a trio of summer steampunk screenings with a treat last week – Luc Besson’s The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec. The more-than-slightly bonkers tale of the brusque authoress and adventurer is a HeyUGuys favourite. But when diva, dinosaur and mummies danced across the dome of the Peter Harrison Planetarium this time they provoked a sudden melancholy. And a question: Where have all the action women gone?
When little boys begin to look for heroes on the silver screen a deluge of options sweeps them away. Cowboys, astronauts, superheroes and gods. Leading men with sufficient derring-do to power a thousand dreams and aspirations. Of course little girls are equally able to dream of Superman but they wake up and grow up in a reality that undermines those nighttime fantasies. Disempowerment is an insidious and deadly foe, folks! Adèle Blanc-Sec is a singular character. But she ought not to be.
