Harry

Harry is the editor of FOOTBALL INSTANT, the independent football title he owns and runs, covering transfers, the World Cup, European and North American club competitions and the way the game is governed. Ten years in journalism, a reporter's years and then an editor's, sit behind the method, and most of that decade has been spent on football. His reporting starts with documents: club and league statements, federation and confederation communications, competition rule books, FIFA and UEFA regulations with the written reasons behind disciplinary decisions, transfer registrations and window deadlines, club accounts and ownership filings, contract lengths and release clauses, squad lists, refereeing protocols and official match data. A fee is published with its structure, guaranteed sum, add-ons and currency, rather than as one tidy number. Unconfirmed rumours and agent briefings are labelled for what they are, with the interest of whoever supplied them stated plainly, and a move is called complete only once it has been registered and announced by the clubs.
