    How do you become a football agent?

    Bournemouth is a shocker.

    Coventry, good grief.

    Pleased that we're relatively low.

    Rovers paid more than the whole of Leagues 1 & 2 together...obviously chicken feed to them.

    Actually pleasantly surprised at the number of deals agents are involved in. Had it in my mind that they'd be a lot higher. Good that players can do without these guys.

    Blackburn paid an agent or agents' fees of £1.5 million to bring our old friend, Danny Murphy, and Dickson Etuhu to Ewood Park last summer from Fulham. Given that Murphy has now had his contract cancelled by mutual consent, it probably wasn't the most astute bit of business. Bloody hell, indeed.

    See that 'investment' that Blackburn received was well spent....

    You may wll ask. Both Birmingham and Newcastle have had tax cases on that very point where the exact basis of the agents involvement was distinctly "murky" to say the least.

    It seems it's common practice, or at least it was, for the agent to get paid by both sides.

    Brown paper envelope anyone?

    Unless you're a world class player with lots of endorsements and commercial obligations to negotiate on a regular basis, why would you need an agent ?

    I'm not sure of those figures..........the period in question is from last summer to this (June 12 to June 13) and shows in total we made 52 transactions (buy/sell/loan/extend contract).

    We know that in that period we only brought in around 6-8 players if you include loans and let about the same go, and didn't extend any contracts. Even if you add a few more in there we don't know about (youth etc) & don't reckon it makes half of the 52 they say............unless I'm missing something ??

    I know we all take the p*ss out of the orange-one at Palace, but, at least he stood by his principals and refused to pay agents fees.

    Or so he said.

    He also said he'd bought the ground.

    it is almost as if we have finished 5th best. great news, i am actually feeling great because i think the club is managing to cut costs well and if we went up a league and reduced the agents fees then that is great. can someon tell me how much money we will lose for 2013 14 though, message me if you do know or just write it here

    He refused to pay an agent a large amount to secure the services of a top midfielder from Millwall who went off to Everton instead... result Palace get relegated - although Fortune obviously had the final say!

    Many people earning in excess of 50-70K a year might employ agents to move them around / keep them in the best deal they can acheive... and many agents in football and elsewhere do not always serve the interests of the person or the employer 100%... welcome to the real world. People in football and show business also employ people to help move their income off shore ... possibly assisted by those same agents but that's another story :)

    Blackburn and Bournemouth's amounts really are amazing.

    Karl Oyston I think is the guy at Blackpool - used to drive Holloway mad as refused to pay any agent fees. Fair play imo.

    Agents/ managers can help earn a great deal more money for their clients. Setting up public appearances, opening supermarkets etc. - that's not to say players can't figure that out themselves, but a good agent with a strong contact list makes sense. 20 percent of nothing is, after all, nothing....I know agents in other walks of life and they make total sense.

    I think the Oystons may be looking to maximise their profits from the club.
