onlyotib Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I no £40+million is a lot but to me it seems as though agents fees are falling each year generally which is a good thing but it’s still crazy money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't to me, we only paid a fee for one player, the free agents and loans no doubt would have been saying given there's no fee we'll take a slightly higher fee.... unless you want him to go elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even basing on cut of transfer fee. You’ve got to question whether agent helping player decide based on their cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to question whether agent helping player decide based on their cut. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I assume the the agent fees are a combination of retained services, employing agents to help released players find a new home, moving players on (to Peterborough most likely) and clubs just accepting that to manage a large stock of players takes some external influence. Would love to understand more about how this level of spend is broken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Joe Williams. Chris Martin. Chris Brunt. Alfie Mawson. Steven Sessegnon. Henri Lansbury. JW £1m, 3 freebies and 2 loans. Wow.

The numbers are publically available on income/turnover. Whether we like it or not, on far lower crowds and income than us, Brentford absolutely wipe the floor with us from a football perspective............and when push comes to shove it's all about the football.

Never understood the concept of clubs paying agents, it should be the player paying them. Depends if the club want to move a player on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is always the counter-argument.....it’s not always the player initiating the “transaction” therefore why should they pay. Nor is always buying club, nor selling club.

Loco Rojo Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 When's this huge shake up on the footballing financial model due to the impact from COVID supposed to kick in again? Ah right. Hell hasn't frozen over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hate the fact the clubs pay for the players agent but its the way of the world. I heard good old Harry Redknapp say once in an interview that the club has an amount of money for a player so the higher the agent fee the less the club pays in wages and transfer fee so the outgoings for the club remain the same.

Ah right. Hell hasn't frozen over yet. It’s happening already....hell was never gonna freeze over, but it’s suffering a heavy frost. Look at transfer fees, look at players likely to be OOC....and then watch 21/22 season budgets show the effect of 20/21 without significant revenues.

downendcity Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Just read that Haaland’s agent and his father will expect a combined £40m “commission” for Haaland’s expected transfer this summer! For what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
