Re: Agents

Well from memory I thought we'd paid about £400k to them last year, so I guess not.
 
Re: Agents

I think the league has new rules this season that prevent both clubs and players from paying the same agent when a transfer deal goes through. This is supposed to prevent the sort of payments that the BBC was talking about last week and should certainly reduce the influence of agents as they will only receive money from the players rather than getting incentives from clubs as well.

Apparently, one player was about to sign a new contract with his club but pulled out when he realised he and not the club would have to pay the agent for his fees. Then he came back the next day with his dad as his agent and signed the same contract. We can only hope this will become the norm.
