3. Advocate Of Clients Causing A Storm

Former Liverpool player John Aldridge was clear in his opinions of Ward on Thursday. €œI bet he€™s never kicked a ball in his life but thinks he knows all there is to know about the game,€ he told the website 5Times. €œIf he knew about the game he€™d know about respect. As I said before this shocking outburst, what the agent has done to Sterling has been absolutely woeful. He hasn€™t just tarnished his own reputation he€™s tarnished the reputation of Raheem Sterling.€

While it is clear Wards' not-so-wise words have left Sterling's image squandering under a dark cloud, another of his clients, Saido Berahino, has also caused outrage in recent months at his current employers, West Brom.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the Burundi-born England international stated: "If I can keep them in the Premier League and score as many goals as I can, I'm pretty sure the fans wouldn't mind me pushing on and moving on to bigger things.

"So I want to ensure that I keep them first in the Premier League and score as many goals as I can for them." This statement, regarded as 'over-confident' by West Brom boss Pulis having upset team mates and club officials, raises question marks over the quality of Aidy Wards' advice.
