Top officials from the EPL, including CEO Richard Scudamore, met with U.S.-based owners in N.Y. last month to "discuss ways to tighten oversight of player agents in the sport," people familiar with the matter said, according to Soshnick & Panja of BLOOMBERG. Those present at the meeting at the Crosby Street Hotel on Nov. 28 included a member of the Glazer family that controls ManU, along with Liverpool Owner John Henry; Arsenal Owner Stan Kroenke and Crystal Palace co-Owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer. Tottenham Owner Joe Lewis, the Bahamas-based British businessman, "was also present," according to sources who asked "not to be identified because the meeting was private." The role of player agents in football's $5B transfer market was among owners’ "biggest concerns," though the talks reportedly "covered a number of other themes." Also present at the meeting in N.Y. were Swansea City's Steve Kaplan and Sunderland’s Ellis Short, the sources said. FIFPro, which represents 65,000 athletes worldwide, said that it would "be interested in seeing a version of the U.S. system" in football (BLOOMBERG, 12/21).
