Right and Wrong!
His real manager is a Jamaican! The gentleman's name is Norman Peart.
Norman has, with the agreement of Bolt and Glen Mills organises and manages a system of how decisions are arrived at. Norman is the Chairman/Manager...
My understanding is the decisions are made with Norman sitting with Unsian and Glen Mills discussing his plans and then leading the trio in arriving at the "go"!
Norman hires the professionals that carry out the various professional functions.

Although terms have not been disclosed, the multimillion-dollar, 4½-year sponsorship contract Walter Dix signed with Nike following the Eugene Olympic Trials is reported to be among the most remunerative in the history of the sport.
Dix's agent, Kimberly Holland of Icon Management, reportedly said the contract was for "much more" money than a deal that Dix rejected a year ago--a six-year, $6-million contract. Hopefully, the lesson will not be lost on young athletes: It can pay off big time to stay in school and graduate, rather than quitting school at the first opportunity to turn pro.
Walter Dix gives Nike another elite sprinter in the 100m and 200m events at the Beijing Olympics. In addition to Jamaicans Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell, Dix will face Tyson Gay in Beijing in the 100 meters. Gay has a sponsorship contract with Adidas that will last through 2011.
On July 22, Dix will retire his familiar Florida State University singlet permanently, when he sprints for the first time as a professional in an IAAF meet in Stockholm, Sweden.

As far as I am concerned the real manager is the one that develop Bolt Contract with Puma..
So who is the real man at say Grace?
The GM who is responsible for hiring the big guns below him...or those the big guns hire?
Neville hires and fires!
Perhaps following on these Olympics he may just hire another firm that pushes Bolt's current deal aside and gets him a number of 100million dollar deals?!
Total of 1,000,000,000.00 dollars or more?
Who knows?!

Put it this way. Ricky is getting 20%, Norman aint
Karl Norman Peart's job is to carry the flag and jump up and dung inna di stands.
If you believe that guy about getting Bolt ready to run...then you'll believe anything!
Bolt’s agent — and the manresponsible for honing his career — Ricky Simms, hails from Milford in Donegal and was there at the Bird’s Nest stadium watching the 21-year-old electrify the 91,000 spectators as he added the 200m crown to the 100m he won at the weekend.
Speaking from his apartment in Beijing last night, a very tired but ecstatic, Simms — I was there at the stadium and spent time with him before he got called out, getting him ready for the race.
I guess he was doing warming up exercises and short warm-up 'runs'? That would make anyone tired????
Right???
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
So wha Ricky a get 20% and Norman a get 20%? I highly doubt it. Yuh nuh see WARINER run whe di waste man and keep MJ inna him corner. What Norman a do fi him 20%?
