SSD Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 THE amount of money spent on agents' fees by Derby County last season fell by almost £150,000. In the year from July 1, 2010, the Rams paid out £289,500, which is down £144,850 on the £434,350 in the previous 12 months. The figures have seen Derby tumble down the Championship table when it comes to agents' fees. They are in 18th place, having been top a few years ago. Seventeen Championship clubs spent more on agents. Queens Park Rangers top the table on £1.7m, followed by Middlesbrough £1.5m and Leicester City £1.2m. QPR won promotion to the Premier League last season but so did Swansea City and Norwich City, who forked out £238,760 and £683,200 respectively on agents' fees. Derby's figure is made up of 57 transactions which include 18 new registrations/transfers, eight updated contracts, 13 contracts cancelled and 18 loans. They include the signings of Ben Davies, Frank Fielding, Jamie Ward, Craig Bryson and Jason Shackell. Ssausagehorpe United spent the least on agents in the past year. They were relegated to League One at the end of last season. A total of £14.1m was spent on agents by Championship clubs, which is up almost £4m on the previous season, 2009-10. All Championship clubs paid agents fees while Hartlepool were the only club in League One not to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 If Derby made a statement saying that from now on, they will never pay one penny to an agent, I would buy a 10 year season ticket and not give a flying fook if we ended up in the Conference. It would only take a handful of clubs to do the same and the whole pathetic, moneygrabbing, extortionate, corrupt system of bloodsucking agents would fade away. Agents should be paid by the players they represent, not by the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents should be paid by the players they represent, not by the clubs. Agents are vile parasites of football. They make players into journeymen, ruining the spirit of the game and the etiquette of club loyalty. By moving players in between clubs, they get a percentage of the transfer fee and this is what motivates them to pimp out players. The rise of the loan market has probably helped them too due to being able to gain fees from negotiations regarding salaries etc. The sooner we get these horrible men out of football the better.
