£42k spent on what!
Who have we brought in over the last 12 months who has done anything to merit a professional deal, never mind a bloody agents fee?
Unless I'm mistaken, we hardly fought off competition for the players we brought in. So why were we willing to pay agents fees? The line should have been to the player, either you pay the agent yourself (or ideally bin them off) otherwise we don't even talk.
Pathetic management of the club, once again.

I think you're all misunderstanding the situation. The agents paid GTFC £42k to take the whole crock of sh!te. There's no other explanation surely?

It’s just the same as recruiting in the commercial world of you ask an agent (or consultant) to find you an employee you pay their fee, often 10 - 15% of annual basic or a pre agreed fixed fee. Clearly from the crap we are carrying in the squad and the timing of his addictions Slade had no network to fall back on and had to pick the phone up to the blood sucking leaches who drain money from the game.

I think the issue isn't the fact we've paid out, sadly it's part and parcel of the game (although nice to see some clubs are bucking the trend). The issue is that we've spent £42k on agent fees for absolute junk. Whilst I would be annoyed, I wouldn't be as bothered if we had spent that money on good, effective signings. You could argue that paying that money negates the need for a scouting network if that was the result. However it just looks like Slade was very lazy in his recruitment and brought in either people he worked with before, people who Wilkinson had worked with before at Norwich or junk who couldn't get a deal elsewhere. Hardly due diligence is it? I'm angry with Slade but even more angry that Fenty has allowed it to happen. I don't expect the chairman to interfere with transfers, but I do expect him to have a handle on what's happening and hold the manager to account.

I completely agree and am equally as p1sssed off with JF for allowing it to happen after allowing Bignot to bring numerous players in without shipping others out and inflating the wage bill to ridiculous levels. Other than being his friend I am mystified to why JF ever re-appointed Slade

The mirroring of the Bignot situation is the one that really, really annoys me. Don't get me wrong, Bignot was a joke but the rope that Fenty hung him with was that he brought in too many players without offloading others. Let's ignore the fact that Fenty will have sanctioned every single one of those signings, he then allowed Slade do to exactly the same thing.
