Prem Clubs have spent £260 million on Agents' fees in 2018-19. Up £49 million. A different world. (BBC Sport stats).
In the real world, Sunderland spent more than 50% of Div One's £5.5M.
In Div 2, the total was £940K. No details of whata Town spent on fees.
Northampton were the biggest spenders on agents fees with £92K.
Macclesfield were the lowest spenders with only £1K.
Salford spend over £76K on agents. This says a lot about how to try and buy success. Which could be working for them.
The sad irony being that Salford could easily replace Macclesfield in the FL.
It would be good for football if agents fees could be kept to the bare minumum some time in the football, with the money staying in football at lower levels or to invest in youth football. With the big clubs getting more powerfull, this is not likely to happen though.

It would be better if agents fees are paid by the player....after all its the player that wants the agent so I don't believe clubs should be paying.

I might have it wrong but wasn't it Hartlepool that didn't pay players agents fees and still managed to sign Podge.

I’d use something else personally. They’re far too soft and won't afford much protection at all 😉

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Fundamentally I agree 100%. In practice though all this would achieve is the players demands at the top level increasing so they can give their agent a fee regardless. This would have a domino effect and trickle down to all levels. The only real way of stopping these payments is to completely ban agents altogether, which will never happen. I understand the big names having an agent as they do need someone to manage all their affairs and PR. But players at our level...Just hire a solicitor to negotiate your contract terms, pay them the hourly rate for doing it and save yourself a fortune.

We spent 38k apparently. Source was a Tweet sent to me by a Lincoln fan at work.

Salford owners and directors ( including their ex Manure players ) loaned the club over £2 million in interest free loans.
