Agents Fees - Oct '12 to Sep '13

[Saint-Armstrong]

Saints spent £2.18m on agents fees during this period. Only Crystal Palace, Hull City and Swansea City spent less.

Mental to spend £100m a year greasing the palms of c*nts whose sole aim is to screw you over.

Yes, some of these players can be quite mercenary.

[Golden Balls]

Stop all this bloody positivity!!!

how do i become an agent..?

[aintforever]

That is very low considering how much we have spent on transfer fees so should be applauded.

 

On the flip side though, we have spent £27mill on Ramirez and Osvaldo. Maybe if we were prepared to bung more money at agents we would have got better value for money. Who knows?

[Saint_clark]

Wasn't it like £200k last time?

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Would love to know where QPR rank on here. Has Ben-Haim even played for them? Is he even a footballer?

[positivepete]

The table would look even better if the number of deals and the value of those deals were alongside the agent spend, I suspect our ratio of agent spend to transfer fees would be pretty good.

I'm pretty sure we were the lowest spenders last time.

 

One of my favourite things about Cortese is his refusal to cave in to agents demands. Some of the figures in that table are obscene.

Fixed it for you ;-)

a necessary evll, but at least Saints haven't succumbed to the measures that some of the so-called " big clubs " seemed to have done.

Was the wanyama deal off then on due to agent disputes?

 

Have I got this confused?

Ramirez' agent fees would have been included in the previous season's table. If we have paid as little as we have then we have great value for money with Ossie, Lovren and VW.

Correct. Wanyama's agent wanted a £1M fee. SFC, quite naturally, ruled that out so the agent started whoring the player around to other clubs who would stump up the fee.

He should have tried Newcastle, they seem to pay a high proportion of fees!

.....that was my understanding of it. Until they found out that Cardiff - was it ? - weren't interested in buying him anyway, and they had to come back to SFC.
