I'm glad we dont pay agents.  There's really no need at our level as far as I can see.

Leeds spend £350k on agents and they are still mediocre.

Well done Mr Fitton, perhaps we have missed out on some signings because of the refusal to pay, but a stands has to be made somewhere - and we were not alone!  £62,000 was paid by the previous incumbents over that same period!

I bet Casal's agent drives a shiny gold BMW.

We may not have paid him directly, but we definately got conned by one.

Sadly as much as I admire the refusal to do business with football agents, I cannot help but think it's acted as a hindrance. There's no real basis to that opinion because there are some clubs having a awful season after paying out to agents to secure their man.

But there are plenty of zeros in L1 and L2 which is good.

It certainly was hard work over the summer. But I think that might be because players were running a mile from Maurice Malpas? End of the day the agents are working for the players and they can only take a fee with their permission.

Only specific example when we definately should have paid an agent was Darius Henderson. £60,000.
