While we are on the subject of cost cutting! I've noticed this season our pitch has not been in great condition! Are we also now no longer using the lights and maintaining the pitch as much! Grass looks a lot longer and cut up terrible! Not the usual carpet we have seen over the last few seasons!

Millennium stadium pitch is now looking in better condition that ours!

Yes Morrison fees included in the fees also all of oles summer signings it covers from end of last season to start of this season


It does not include Ole's Summer Signings, I just rang Gaskel.

Championship clubs' agents fees (between October 1, 2014, and September 30, 2015)


Morrison was signed by Tan



Only one person to blame TAN.

I stand corrected

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 :thumbup:


But like you say many other ex Premier League Clubs have been relegated in the last 3 years, yet we are top of the League for Agents fees, during October 2014 -till the end of this September just gone, I don't see any other club at the top of that League?which is not to be proud off.

Steve, as you know, we are tied to Tan, as he has put us in this awful debt and guess what ? 95% owed to Tan, so he holds the ace cards at this moment in time.

I don't think those figures tells the whole story,still it wouldn't be the first time we've been screwed over by a foreign owner.At least this one hasn't left us to go bust yet.

Lauren Ann McNie
People'll pin it on Malky somehow...

Annis Abraham Jnr III
Thank fully they can't Lauren


Steve Perry
<>< Annis, we still haven't had a Shareholders' AGM for FOUR YEARS! What hope is there for the Club? Tan has tried to pin all the ills at the Club on Malky but methinks there are still deep problems at the City. I guess this is what you get when you rid the Club of footballing people who challenge the Owner.


Annis Abraham Jnr III
Hmmmm? Steve I really don't know where we are going under Tan

One club in the division - Bury - spent nothing on agents' fees, as did two teams in League Two.

Accrington and Hartlepool paid out nothing at all, with Dagenham and Redbridge spending a frugal £700 on fees.

Portsmouth were the biggest spenders in the division as they chose to invest almost £270,000 in this area, with Leyton Orient (£137,000) also topping six figures.

Cornelius, Medel, Caulker - just those three players cost £28m+ and we paid £2.25m in agent fees.

Fast forward a couple of seasons and we pay approximately £1.5m on transfer fees but £2.8m on agent fees.

Something not quite right there Thomas :shock:

Mon Nov 30, 2015 9:49 pm

That's not surprising to me at all

Not sure why you are so shocked Annis?

Most of our squad on high wages so payments to agents still remain higher than they should

We also signed a few on low fees and usually you end up paying higher agent fees in that instance

Has nothing to do with the club either agents demand the fees they are payable regardless

They are the scum of football
