This sort of subject really gets me going. Agents fees paid from League 1 clubs totalled £3.5M. That is enough to run some clubs at this level for en entire year and, instead, it represents money that is taken out of the game!!! Agents are operating on behalf of the Players and for the benefit of the Players - why don't the Players pay the bills and why is it expected that the Clubs will pay. Unfortunately, Football Agents are a necessary evil, players are generally not too clever, particularly when it comes to negotiation, so wisely use an Agent to get them a perceived good deal. £62k in fees, to me seems high if the player you buy does not deliver, like Nicols, different opinion when considering Liam, who has been tremendous and was definitely money well spent. Nichols is the best player at the club

I accept they are a necessary evil but why don't the players pay as they are the ones to benefit as slam says?

Some surprises on that list with Southend, Northampton and Oxford paying over double what we paid out. It looks like any finish higher than 15th and DC will be overachieving. It looks like Wigan, Blackburn and Charlton are in a different league than the rest of Div 1. Very specific. Not quite sure what we spend on agent fees (with a thousand factors involved) is a measure for achievement

I don't see why the players can't just use the PFA to negotiate deals on their behalf. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/3642202.stm

Nichols is the best player at the club Nichols is the most expensive player at the club and it proves that DC is better at picking up non league players. So far Nicholls goals are over £175,000 each. If he scores more than ten I will be very surprised.

I agree that players should pay this to the agents. And there should be a pool of money drawn from the higher paid players deals that provides players in the lower divisions on much smaller salaries some assistance in making their payment based on the value of the deal and the player's salary.

More proof that we’re overachieving ? Or at least that we’re a bit more savvy with our money and we make what we spend go a long way. Cue loads of posts about how crap Nichols has been. Not necessarily more savvy after all this office in london nonsense- we just water money up the wall in a different way to everyone else! And your source is?

Bristol Rovers paid out £62,353 in agent fees for the period February 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018. The Football Association have today released figures which show that the Gas have one of the lowest fees in League One. Rovers rank at 15th in the third tier in terms of money paid out to agents, with many clubs spending way in excess of six figures. Last season Rovers spent £51,489 on agent fees, meaning a slight increase this year. But Rovers are still one of the financial lightweights in the division when you look at the money spent by some clubs. Good work by our chairman there who didnt hold back on his opinion on football agents in a talk at the Mem last year, quitely winning the battle against negativity and bullsh1t by fans Mr Hamer, fair play, actions always speak louder than words.

You're right when I'm coming into land at Lulsgate I'm always more reassured when I see the landing lights on rather than hearing they're on from the pilot.....
