I saw something about this on another forum and thought i'd look into this a little further. To be honest its absolutely scandulous that football clubs are having to pay their players agents fees. And let's not forget that ultimately its the supporter themselves that has to contribute to this outrageous expense and help to keep these vultures in the luxury they've become accustomed to because of this disgusting ripoff!
If player's want to have an agent that's fine, but let the expense come out of their own pocket and not ours!
Have a look

They are a major problem in football. Could turn out to kill off a big part of the game.
They encourage mercenary footballers, and it is all about transfers and endorsements to them.

Never understood why clubs have to pay agents, if a player wants an agent then he should be paying him as he represents the player not the club.
