Agent Fees - City 2nd in the PL - 1/2/20 - 1/2/21 - £30,174,615

[I'm With Stupid]

I've never understood why clubs have managed to get into a situation where they're paying for someone who's negotiating against them. And how it all of their money-grabbing exploits, the big clubs have never got together and said fuck you.

Football needs to fuck this right off.

 

[MancAl]

Scummiest most awful parasites in the game.
Why the hell are clubs paying them?
Why aren't they employees of the player?

Complete leeches.

We signed 3 players, that means £10m agent fee per player.

£272M out of the game and thats just the PL.

It's not just the new signings, there's been contract renewals etc as well which would have incurred agent's fees. Agree though the money they're getting paid is utterly ridiculous.

Not always as clear cut as the media would like us to believe.
Sometimes pay an agent to offload a player. If he can dump a dud on somebody else then worth paying something.
But still scandalous.

We won't mind paying Raiola then :)

I'd imagine they get a nice chunk of the players earnings too - no flies on these cunts.

obscene. This needs regulating.

I think we all know that these figures are obviously bollocks, I mean are we accepting of the 'mighty' Liverpool spunking £21m in agents fees during their proposed furlough period?

Me thinks not...........
