We spend too much on agents

Fair enough, it was a bit short. No smoke without fire though

With that sort of money swilling about for the privilege of signing some questionable players no wonder Mike Newell's never been heard of in football since he tried to fly the flag for an end to corruption.

It really leaves a bad taste to me but the game is singularly self-protecting and proving any malpractice is never going to be easy as Lord Stevens discovered, and for a whole host of reasons.

Same story in the Times today. Staggerring we paid agents £1.63m last season. Revenue from about 4000 adult season ticket sales. No wonder the transfer kitty is empty.

What do you mean Steven, a manager get's 10% profit, or backhander????

Part of Mike Newell's contract at Luton was to get 10% of the profit of any incoming transfer fee..

Official Transfer fees - that's why he got pissed off because they were being done under the table and the real value was knocked down hence so was his 10%.

I see nothing wrong in Newell getting 10% if the club were silly enough to agree such an arrangement.

totally agree - might make him a little bit keener to sell the better player which i guess was the point of the clause in the first point - as far as the chairman is concerned.

I am generally against the idea of paying agents extortionate fees. However, in order to attract the better players that would otherwise join championship clubs i think it is something that mandaric has to do. It is part and parcel of the modern game and if mandaric had not employed these tactics we may not have signed someone of the calibre of tunchev.

wonder how much was paid to agents for each leicester manager's arrival? do they get a cut from this in the same way as they do for players?
