Maccabi's strong dissatisfaction with Tairik's manager: "Tricks and unprofessional attitude"

Maccabi Tel Aviv has expressed strong dissatisfaction with Tairik Jones' manager, accusing him of unprofessional behavior and "games" that led to the transfer's failure. The club claims it had agreed with Jones, but his manager was slow to give final "OK" and the agreement leaked to the media, allowing Olympiacos to enter the race. Maccabi officials accuse the manager of playing with the team, as he is said to have already agreed with Olympiacos while negotiating with the Israeli team. They believe that the manager's failure to visit Belgrade to finalize the agreement was a mistake.
