I honestly think agents should be banned from football or have their fees capped at the very least. Parasites.

I remember a few years back this agent turning up at NP. He had snake skin shoes, a loud multi-coloured suit and a stupid hair cut. He looked like a pimp and the players were his bitches. Honestly he wouldn't have been out of place working the docks.

I think there should be one single agency run by the FA that would represent all players.(obviously in the players best interest) After all costs are covered then any profit should be paid back into the FA.

The one thing that list doesn't show is the possible hidden details. How much of that money paid to agents found it's way back to managers and chairmen in brown paper bags? Here we go gov, bung an extra 100k on my fees and we'll do a nice little cash back deal. :roll:
Just my sordid scepitcal view by the way. I'm sure no manager or chairman does that sort of thing. :lol:

The PFA offer their services in negotiating contracts free of charge to any player who wants one. I'm not sure why they don't take that offer and why club's don't point blank refuse to deal with the cunts
