Agents fees

[Tricky Tree]

Hey guys, dont know if any of you have seen but the football league have announced the agents fees for last year

Forest spent over 700k on agents fees which i think is quite good given the amount of signings we made. Interestingly though, notts county spent double what the whole of league 2 spent on agents, lol.

Raddy, shorey and boyd are the only ones i can think of. Confused lol

 

[Quinn^2]

Maybe it means people going out on loan aswell ?

agents are vermin

Yeah it must mean players going in and out on loan, so seven is about right. Blimey, Newcastle and Boro splashed a lot of cash at agents

Love this bit: "This year's figures demonstrate a considerable increase on those of last season and it is essential that clubs work to reduce this liability over the coming campaign."

Well we're certainly doing pretty damn well on that front!!

I'm guessing here, but is the 7 made up of incoming and outgoing in which we were the instigator ?

Is it just me who thinks that 700k is a huge amount for our club to be spending on agents?

When will players realise that these parasites are bleeding the game dry?

Haha, true true. That will be some consolation when we start in the champs next season......... yeah so what if your in the prem now, we spent the least on agents so there!

Well as long as agents are getting their clients bigger and better contracts, helping them move to 'better' clubs, I don't think they're going to disappear. Besides some players have family members as their agents

Bring back the days of the manager receiving a brown envelope full of fivers as a agent fee.

Classic! Blackpool 40K, and where are they now lol

How much did we spend on agents in the 2008/2009 season? I'm sure it was far less than £700k
