Title: FL Agent Payments Post by: Power to people on Friday, February 27, 2009, 14:14:00 I see in the report for July - December 08 Swindon did not pay a licenced agent fee unlike Leeds who paid £346,500 Full report in the Football League website http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/5c/32/0,,10794~143964,00.pdf (http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/5c/32/0,,10794~143964,00.pdf) Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: blinkpip on Friday, February 27, 2009, 16:15:07 Luton paid nearly £50,000. wtf.
Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, February 27, 2009, 16:17:52 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. Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, February 27, 2009, 16:30:38 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!
Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, February 27, 2009, 18:00:13 I bet Casal's agent drives a shiny gold BMW.
We may not have paid him directly, but we definately got conned by one. Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Friday, February 27, 2009, 20:17:16 Can anyone think of anything that is good about agents in anyline of business? ie has anyone ever said my estate agent lovely chap. no they should all be banned.

Dick Barton - special agent ? Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Nemo on Friday, February 27, 2009, 20:57:43 Agent Cody Banks?
Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, February 27, 2009, 21:13:12 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. Title: Re: FL Agent Payments Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, February 28, 2009, 14:32:02 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. |
