[IsleworthRanger]

£465,240

Not too bad compared with some other clubs I reckon though zero would be far better

Can someone please pass the tissues to that fella?

Well it puts us just less then average in the league Pete though I can see this news making someones day

[Nodge70]

And they're just the declared ones! Looks well above average

Do you think Gianni declared his cut Nodge?

[BennyBoyRs]

How did I know it would turn into this again...

Regurgitated, pony.

[Jamie]

A basic grasp of mathematics shows we are above average based on those figures!

[Hoopla73]

The more you learn about Blackpool, the more you have to like them. Only 40,000 in agent fees. No wonder they find it difficult to sign some players represented by agents!

What's a cut?

Consultancy fees and circular payments from players are the mode du jour, topped up by some juicy image rights.

What's with the Witney Flag Isleworth?

And on topic, I think you're right, not bad but could do better :D

6th highest payers (to agents) in the league......

hardly ideal!

[Pal]

But with more transactions than anyone else in the league (60 including re negociated deals) means that the average per deal puts us way down the botoom.
Newcastle are above us in fees paid, but that was only for 7 transactions.

Actual number of transactions was 39 for QPR (don't know where you got the 60 from?)

That puts us 10th in the division on average spend per transaction.

Shouldn't we also be including GP's wage which I assume would put us in the top 3?

Players, quite rightly (if the agent is good) use agents. These are complicated contracts and agents alongside their lawyers do a good job for them, if they are scrupulous. A good agent will have a team around the player including people like financial advisers, personal support (often from ex-professionals), lawyer, pr person etc. An agent doesn't just tout a player around to clubs. They sort out sponsorship deals, local appearances (often for charity and mostly for free), they will find out which clubs might be interested in their player who might otherwise miss out, they have a network of people in the game to go to if needed for various reasons, they are a mentor and listen to problems the player may have...

Any professional sportsperson, artist, musician, actor etc has an agent. It is extremely hard to do all the jobs yourself whilst you get on with whatever itis you do. Also, having an agent negotiate for you also should get you a better deal and should take a lot of any argument and anger away from you. So if you want a better deal and the club aren't happy about it, your agent takes much of the flak and you can get on with playing etc. I kind of protects you from the heat of it all, protects your relationship with clubs/hirers.

We all know there are rogue agents and bungs etc, but there are also good agents who care about their players' welfare and actually do a good job for them.

I find all this furore about them ridiculous.
