" So Does Vincent Tan Ever Learn & Yet again what a waste "

My Opinion
SO DOES VINCENT TAN EVER LEARN? WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY & I THOUGHT WE WERE SAVING MONEY & BEING A MORE PROFESSIONAL CLUB AS TANS FOLLOWERS SAY.

Cant Blame Malky for this and as Ive said before its not the managers fault as its down to the people at the top.
I hope we get some honesty now from fellow posters and agree this club is still not going forward.

Are our managers really the ones choosing the players?
Is it the managers doing the contract talks?
Whats our CCFC Committee saying about this?

Cardiff City spent more than any other Football League club on agents fees over the last two transfer windows, it has been revealed.

The Bluebirds paid agents £2,828,133 between October 1, 2014, and September 30 this year.




That put them ahead of anyone else including other big-spending Championship clubs Fulham (£2,735,336), Reading (£2,391,666) and QPR (£2,361,742).

The figures come despite a reduced outlay on actual transfer fees since Russell Slade took the managerial reins in October 2014. Slade has said the club is not 'shopping at Harrods' anymore and also revealed he had cut £12m from the playing wage budget.

This summer saw the Bluebirds relatively quiet in the transfer window; in came Sammy Ameobi on loan, Semi Ajayi (free), Gabriel Tamas (unattached) and Idriss Saadi (undisclosed).

In the winter 2015 window, they made more deals with Scott Malone, Alex Revell, Lee Peltier, Stuart O'Keefe, Eoin Doyle and Matthew Kennedy all arriving.

Eoin Doyle arrived for £750,000 in the 2015 winter window
The figures, published by the Football League, include payments made by clubs on behalf of players with figures collected and provided by the FA.

Allan, your one of them who makes out that everything is so rosy and run much better these days, is that all you can say? ? ?

Your opinion please

Just imagine what we would have paid if we had signed half decent players?. It just shows even in cutting back wages/players etc. we are still getting ripped off. We need the club to be run more professionally, so let's get rid of those who are responsible including Slade!!!

Bloody Hell! Those figures are shocking!

How on earth can we have spent so much on agents fees when we have spent nothing like as much on transfer fees? It just doesn't add up.

Just another example of how badly the club is being run right from the very top downwards.

Do not understand those figures at all.

I honestly believe our agents fees outway our transfer fees, as I know we have hardly spent money on fees, during this period, Hmmmmm?

Can we get a Tan out smilie?

The fees are higher because since 2014 we have had premiership players on loan and their agents are cuter that most

Sammy Ameobi

Didn't we have Ravell morrison and zaha during 2014, or was it before that?

Wez, just finally admit, we are not going forward and never mind years before, these are up to date figures and we are top of a shocking waste of money league, are we not? ?

Never understood why the players dont pay the agents , in any other job if you had an agent you would pay them yourself a percentage of your earnings.Its bad enough that the clubs have to pay transfers high wages without paying an agent for the privledge of signing a player.

Didn't we have Ravell morrison and zaha during 2014, or was it before that?

Zaha was under Ole.

Morrison came in when we actually had No manager in place.

How is this showing we are not going forward ?

Does that figure include on going payments to agents from all the city squad ? Agents don't just get paid on transfers they can get monthly / yearly payments on life of players contracts too ,it does show that agents are getting loads out of the game I wonder how much we paid out in the premiership season

Wez, just finally admit, we are not going forward and never mind years before, these are up to date figures and we are top of a shocking waste of money league, are we not? ?

How is this showing we are not going forward ? These fees include any renogoations of contracts and retaining fees of all the squads contracts they are not on just on transfer fees in the past year and they are the same for the last three seasons ,we have one of the largest wage bills in the championship so we have the largest agents fees are we being ripped off ,maybe we are but sadly football is full of agents

With everything else thats happening at our club, league position, low crowds, awful football and debt created by Tan, you must be one of the only persons still backing & believing in Tan and now these latests agents fees and we are the highest , I honestly give up with you Wez, lets leave it there.

Keep th faith Annis ,I don't know why you worry so much it's not your money

Wez, but like you ,its the club I love and care for and not only has Tan ripped the heart out of it, its still being run badly.

My Opinion
SO DOES VINCENT TAN EVER LEARN? WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY & I THOUGHT WE WERE SAVING MONEY & BEING A MORE PROFESSIONAL CLUB AS TANS FOLLOWERS SAY.

Cant Blame Malky for this and as Ive said before its not the managers fault as its down to the people at the top.
I hope we get some honesty now from fellow posters and agree this club is still not going forward.

Are our managers really the ones choosing the players?
Is it the managers doing the contract talks?
Whats our CCFC Committee saying about this?

The figures come despite a reduced outlay on actual transfer fees since Russell Slade took the managerial reins in October 2014

Cardiff City spent more than any other Football League club on agents fees over the last two transfer windows, it has been revealed.

The Bluebirds paid agents £2,828,133 between October 1, 2014, and September 30 this year.




That put them ahead of anyone else including other big-spending Championship clubs Fulham (£2,735,336), Reading (£2,391,666) and QPR (£2,361,742).

The figures come despite a reduced outlay on actual transfer fees since Russell Slade took the managerial reins in October 2014. Slade has said the club is not 'shopping at Harrods' anymore and also revealed he had cut £12m from the playing wage budget.

This summer saw the Bluebirds relatively quiet in the transfer window; in came Sammy Ameobi on loan, Semi Ajayi (free), Gabriel Tamas (unattached) and Idriss Saadi (undisclosed).

In the winter 2015 window, they made more deals with Scott Malone, Alex Revell, Lee Peltier, Stuart O'Keefe, Eoin Doyle and Matthew Kennedy all arriving.

Eoin Doyle arrived for £750,000 in the 2015 winter window
The figures, published by the Football League, include payments made by clubs on behalf of players with figures collected and provided by the FA.

I think it's being run better now ,these payments are for all the squad anyone who has signed a new deal would have agents fees on going too ,I don't like agents but they are part of the game

Just a thought, when it says "include payments made by clubs on behalf of players" does this mean it includes wages we may be paying for our players out on loan? If so it probably doesn't surprise me!

Tan and his cronies are a complete embarrassment

Incompetence of the highest order.. these bozos make the Riddler seems like a financial genius!!!

Jon, 80% at least of our wages are being covered by the loan agreements, so the other clubs are paying them, and we are talking about Agents fees on transfers, not wages.

Yes they are buying and sell ing but there on the list too but we are the highest payers and have been for the last ten years so it doesn't surprise me that we are too we probably are top of the league for wages too that's why we get parachute payments

It's bound to be all the players we've been offloading. Their wages were so high we were probs just getting all sorts of agent's help touting them round.

I'm sure we saved money in the long run.

Just a thought, when it says "include payments made by clubs on behalf of players" does this mean it includes wages we may be paying for our players out on loan? If so it probably doesn't surprise me!

Jon, 80% at least of our wages are being covered by the loan agreements, so the other clubs are paying them, and we are talking about Agents fees on transfers, not wages.

Its probably to be expected Annis, as we still have players on Premiership contracts and a lot of the those fees will be on going from the deals done over the last couple of years contracts. Look at the other big fees, Fulham, Reading, QPR and Hull, all relegated clubs with Premiership players on the wage bill. Unless we see it broken down into fees paid on the new players brought in, then it's unfair to jump to conclusions
