Ian's his step-dad:
"There was an interesting look into the murky world of the footballer's agent in Saturday's Daily Express. Under the headline "Tug of War for Shaun's Name", we read of the battle to become the agent of our hottest property, SWP. You may remember that when Dickson Etuhu left Maine Road, KK said "I've got no problem with Dickson but I wouldn't like to see his agent round here again." The problem is that Etuhu's agency, L&G Sports Network, also represent little Shaunie. The Express claims City are ready to increase Shaun's wages from a mere £900 per week, to a much healthier four year deal worth £1 million. Now it's being reported that Ian Wright wants his adopted son to sign with his own agency, a move which KK supports (quelle surprise). A spokesman for L&G commented "Shaun is the innocent party in this. We are resigned to losing him because of the influence of his stepfather. But we are quite entitled to seek compensation because his contract with us does not run out until next January. City are in breach of rules here by encouraging him to change agents." The article also alleged that "friends" of Shaun were disgusted at Ian Wright's sudden interest in the player, claiming that the former England star had only shown an interest in his son once he had played in the lucrative Premiership last season. What heart-warming folk work in that industry..."
"Shaun Wright-Phillips, a.k.a. Shauny Wright-Wright-Wright (after his stepfather Ian Wright-Wright-Wright), a.k.a. SWP, was a phenomenon at Manchester City. He played everywhere - right back, midfield, centre forward and on both wings. During his final two seasons, he flayed full back after full back week after week. We didn't hope that he would score brilliant goals, we knew he would."
