To spend sod all on agents fees, it says on fishy. personally i reckon its about time all clubs banished these vultures from the game, To me its insulting to players saying they can't sort own wages out, pity some can't see that.

Maybe a lot of the players can't sort out their own wages Cashman.
To hear some of the muttering they speak in TV interviews its no wonder they need agents to rip them off.
The agents are only there to line their own pockets and its the paying public who foot the bill.
I once heard an ex Stanley player say on a radio interview "if I didn't get in the first team I couldn't pay my Council house rent".
How things have changed. I saw in the papers recently one player had changed hands for million euros. The agent will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sky dictates who plays when now. Take their money out of the equation and the game would collapse.
That's my view for what it's worth.

Hubby says you're spot on Cashey. Every sport not just football, then maybe the clubman will come back and the mercenary kicked out.

possibly. I think some,not a lot though. But if thats the case that they are as thick as 2 short planks, Then much better i think to get a family member or good friend to help em, not pay a vulture? Surely even those players must be aware of someone wi an I.Q.?

The PFA do a great deal for players at every level of the game. I see no reason why an in-house 'advocacy' service couldn't be set up to support players' transition between clubs. This would help not only the amount of players searching for clubs each close season but also clubs being held to ransom because an agent wants a quick pay-day.

The FA will never exercise a decisive movement with regards to agents but if by some miracle the day came I would wholly support a full ban on their activities.

I should have re read my post about transfer fees and edited it.
The figure was a hundred million euros not a million.

What % are these vultures (sorry agents) on?
Makes no wonder they want to hang onto their job and encourage players to move around.

Perhaps Jeffers never returned on a full contract because of his agent.

You would think that Jeffers would jump at a chance of a full contract, lets face it there hasn't been too many reports of him being inundated with other offers has there
