Football League = REPORT REVEALS INCREASE IN AGENTS’ FEES
Posted on: 18.08.2010
The latest publication of Football League clubs' spending on agents' fees has revealed that the amount of money committed to agents has increased by £3.9 million in the last twelve months.
League clubs committed £12.7m to agents between July 2009 and June 2010 compared to £8.8m for the same period in 2008/09.
In announcing the latest agents' fees figures Football League Chairman Greg Clarke voiced concern, saying:
"Given the current economic climate, it is worrying to the see such a significant amount leaking from the game.
"This year's figures demonstrate a considerable increase on those of last season and it is essential that clubs work to reduce this liability over the coming campaign."
During the 2009/10 season clubs committed to pay agents in 396 (16.6%) of the 2,392 player transactions that took place, collectively committing the sum of £12,739,867.
Championship clubs accounted for £10.1m (79.5%) of this total, with League 1 and League 2 clubs accounting for £2.2m (17.6%) and £0.4m (2.9%) respectively.
Fourteen clubs did not commit any money to agents during the 12 months covered by this report. They were Accrington Stanley, AFC Bournemouth, Barnet, Chesterfield, Crewe Alexandra, Dagenham & Redbridge, Darlington, Exeter City, Hereford United, Lincoln City, Macclesfield Town, Port Vale, Stockport County and Tranmere Rovers. A further nine clubs paid less than £10,000.
