What do you make of this how much did the agents get for loan players, because this includes two windows,

Makes 12th, if I counted right, so in the midfle ground; although some of the higher fees are truly scary...!

We knoe our owner doesn't like transfer fees or agents, but they are a necessary evil in modern football and they can hold undue influence over their charges (clients)

I looked into ever efl agency program a few years ago, via the solicitors I was working for, and it's seems that agents often charge a signing on fee (by the club) and also apply a fee representing 10% of the players wage which, whilst meant to be payable by the player, is often negotiated to be payable by the club

So this fee could be reflective of the club's wages, assuming each player is represented, and paid at 10% of wages

It might not reflect transfer fees

Leeds

Leeds

Chelsea paid 75m and Man City 60m to agents

Speaks volumes that the top three are the three relegated teams - Leicester, Leeds and Southampton.

They’re also three of the top four in the Championship table.

Nearly 10% of our overall turnover

Nearly 10% of our overall turnover

As a rough estimate we need to sell 4,000 season tickets just to pay the agents!!! That's almost a third of our total season ticket sales going into agents pocket.

It’s crazy how football has allowed these parasites into the game and the Clubs have to foot the bill.
