I think it's just dumb. I'm sure he has plenty of other clients and will sign more in the future, why ruin their chances of joining liverpool by insulting klopp.
Raiola did a number on us few years ago with pogba, imagine him calling saf a piece of shit, 3 of his clients wouldn't be playing for us this season.
Fergie hated him anyway. I doubt it would have made much difference.
It's one thing to hate an agent, and another thing to be called a piece of shit. The club would never deal with an agent that called fergie that.
It wouldn't have made a difference as Mourinho/Woodward would make the decision to get those players and not SAF.
Having a go at Pep here.....

Summary of what it says someone please? On phone.
I wish this fat shite would just keep his mouth shut, especially when food is placed in front of him.
He said Pep doesn't have the balls to sit down and talk to him. He also said Florentino Perez and don't have a bad relationship, they have no relationship. Sounds like Madrid won't be buying any Raiola players anytime soon.
I'm sure he doesn't care about doing business with Liverpool. They basically ruined Balotelli considering he was one of the world's top strikers at Milan before joining them. Their negativity and blatant bias towards him spoke volumes. Probably stemming from the multiple times he's fecked England out of major competitions.
I'm pretty sure Balotelli achieved that on his own.
He says what he thinks, not a bad thing, imo. Especially when talking about Pep. Would be fun having him around on saturday, he definitely hates Pep.
How so? from what I understand, he's kept his head down at Liverpool. Most of his reputation stems from his younger days at Inter/City.
He might not have caused the same level as controversy as he did at other clubs but he was still less than useless.
An example would be the day he feigned injury to buy a new iPhone - from there Liverpool Echo:
There was something on the other side of the dressing room at Melwood which caught Mario Balotelli’s eye. When the Italian striker asked what a team-mate was holding, he was informed it was the new iPhone 6. Balotelli, not yet in possession of Apple’s latest smartphone, was visibly irked according to observers.
Moments later he trooped out on to the training field to take part in the warm-up but within minutes he pulled up complaining of discomfort in his hamstring. Staff sent him straight back inside to be checked out by the medics.
When the Liverpool squad returned to the dressing room at the end of the session 90 minutes later, they were surprised by what greeted them.
There was a beaming Balotelli sat in the corner, with a new iPhone 6 in his hand and a few spares boxed up next to him. One of his minions had been hastily dispatched to do some shopping. The pain in his hamstring had miraculously eased.
I can't tell if you're serious or not. One half decent spell at Milan doesn't make up for an entire career of failing to live up to expectations and causing disruption in every squad he's been a part of.
Mourinho labelled Balotelli as unmanageable which speaks volumes to me. We shouldn't have signed him but he's never shown any sort of form to justify his fee or his wages.
Don't think Balotelli can be blamed on Liverpool. He did alright at Milan but there was a reason one of the 'world's top strikers' only went for £16 million to Liverpool when Milan had signed him for a similar amount.
Can't believe that. That suggests he has mental issues.
He's blasting all of our rivals atmCan't stand this guy. He'll send Pogba packing to Barcelona in a few years. No one will be laughing then.
Barcelona won't be able to buy Pogba.
He didn't get involved in off the pitch antics as much but he didn't deliver on the pitch either. Part of the problem was that he's never been much good as a lone striker, however his work-rate off the ball was poor too.
Apt tag line, I think.
I´m an attention-seeking worthless piece of fat human trash that had his feelings hurt again.
Pep barely talks to his players outside of football pitch related topics, so why would be talk to him?
Can´t believe some people stan for an agent, just cause he brought on a few players and United won three games. He´ll sell them just as quickly, when there is another fee to be earned.
Huge respect for Pep and Klopp refusing to entertain this clown.
Hasn't that been pretty much established already?
The child in him always wanted an iPhone 6.
A lot of favorable United news is coming out in the media, some by former United players, the media bigging United up saying how Jose has made the team click. Now this idiot making stupid comments about Pep, Klopp. Zlatan doing the A-Z packing stuff.
Hopefully there's enough left for the pitch as well.

It's just the way he plays. Berbatov was never a runner either. Balotelli on his day is world class IMO. Euro 2012, he was unbelievable. And his first stint at AC Milan, he scored some absolute bangers.
I hope, like Ben Arfa, he gets his career back on track at Nice and gets a big move to somewhere like PSG next season. I still think he will be one of the best players in the world in a few years. I think by the time he's 30, he will be in his prime.
Raiola is a loud mouth plonker, who at the same time is a powerful agent. And you will sometimes have to live with his shenanigans for your own benefit. It's funny as long as we are not at the receiving end of his tantrums.
Fergie named him as the worst agent to deal with. That speaks volumes.
He won't talk shit about us for now of course as we just bought 3 of his clients with ridiculous amount of agent fees going to him.

He'll talk shit about us once he sells one of his clients playing for us, it's a snide shite type of a man.
Agreed. You don't often see Mendes going off on one like Raiola does. Only Mendes rant I can remember is when Jose was at Chelsea and he was interviewed about United not taking him on.

Full translation:
'Guardiola? He doesn't have the balls to talk with me, and this is something I don't like. It isn't that I hate it, but I don't like it. He's a good coach, but his football bores me. With Florentino Perez I don't have an ugly relation, the truth is that I don't have any relation with him. I don't need to be friend or enemy (with him). Ibra? He's much more perfectionist than Balotelli, whom if he was like Zlatan, would have been one of the best players in the world. Donnarumma? If he continues to grow like this, will become the best keeper in the world. Real isn't interested on him. Pogba? He's one of the best players in his position, it is important that he is where he wants to be.'
It's a pretty sad day when headlines are talking about an agent's like or dislike of a manager. Let alone their footballing opinions. F'em. They are cancer.
How do you feel about Paul Stretford? Just for comparisons sake
Interest from Barca/Madrid would mean he's been doing very well here so I'd be happy!

Even though he's fat he is much cuter than Raiola.
Isn't Stretford a bit of a Mike Ashley doppelgänger? I don't know because I can't recall him being in public that much compared to our tracksuit and shades wearing Mino, going swimming with Pogba and the like.
Exactly. Stretford doesn't do that shit. He would enjoy a game of golf or something. Ashley seems more of an idiot and kind of ugly. Stretford just seems softer/polite.
