Agents Fees

[Chris FGR]

Any idea how much money clubs at this level spend on them?

Apparently we spent £174k last year on intermediary fees. Is that a lot, or fairly standard?

FGR leading the way with 174k

It's probably half of our total budget to put it in perspective!

 

[Chris FGR]

So we are winning at something then.

Aldershot, 56 quid? LMAO.

It wont show tomorrow.

Why aren't Eastleigh on the list? Surely they've forked out a fortune on agents fees?

Because the gap isn't big enough for the figures?

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Yeah, FGR as sustainable as ever there

Why have Harrogate got any agent fees?! The others make sense, they've all been in the conference or higher in recent years apart from Salford, and they have the class of '92 backing them. But Harrogate are a stereotypical midtable side in the North division, they have no need for player agents surely?

They are probably paying "fifteen elevens" which is the agent of Joe Leesley and Andi Thanoj who they brought from us.

I believe former Wrexham and Mansfield and Alfreton striker Jake Speight is the man behind fifthteen elens.

Pretty sure Harrogate are bankrolled quite heavily.

 

[Murphy]

That is fucking insane.

£174,000?!

I thought FGR had a great negotiator who was getting them value for money

Maybe he's a partner of agents - then it all makes sense

To put things in perspective.
FGR are spending more on agents than pretty much everyone in League 2 (Pompey only team to spend more) and a lot in League 1.

 

[GTFCfish]

But they definitely DO NOT have the highest wage bill in the National League they are about 6th highest, ChrisFGR said so remember?

 

[John Still]

Dale Vince portrays himself as a successful business man, this makes him an utter fucking tool.

Harrogates was for John Paul Pittman, you can see the players which these fees applied for in the second document here

Compared to our £56 it is a crazy amount!

Thanks for correcting me. Interesting stuff!

 

[Dean]

Sustainable Forest Green, eh?

 

[Chris FGR]

The only thing this showed is we are the only properly honest club at this level. All our dealings with agents are done above board, unlike the brown envelope under the table approach clearly utilised by the likes of Aldershot. 56 quid? Give me a break.

No the difference is players actually want to play for us, you have to throw money at agents to get players to sign for you.

How come we had good players before Ecotricity owned us then? Like Stuart Fleetwood, Andy Mangan, Kayode Odejayi, Simon Clist, Mark Beesley etc etc all wanted to come here without massive agents fees or wages.

 

[Sparrow]

Classic Aldershot spending money they don't have.

 

[Chris FGR]

Why are only 12 out of 72 clubs listed?

The link inside the link in Frealaf's post has the full list of all league teams on it too. Here:

That is fucking ridiculous from us.

Barrow "moneybags" AFC spending a 20th of FGR's agent fees - yet Chris still has the temerity to say their budget is small compared to ours.
Ourselves and Gateshead HAVE to pay that little bit more to get decent players up here, so the £9k is no surprise - our wage bill isn't that big from what I understand, though we do shell out a fair bit on signing on fees. Without exaggerating, I reckon our playing budget is about a third of FGR's.

Are these the only clubs that have published? Eastleigh must be shelling out astronomical numbers or disguising them as some other kind of transaction .

Aldershot's looks like they've paid an agent's train fare or put him up in a Premier Inn for a night.

Some clubs will have the players pay the agent so they )the players) know exactly what the agent is getting.
