Appreciate it's part and parcel of football, but the vast sums of money paid to agents still gets on my tits.

The anomaly there seems to be Hull in terms of performance vs cost.
At least 1st, 2nd and 3rd on that list are 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the table.

You can see the full breakdown here:

Plenty of spending on players leaving as well as those coming in (and new contracts):

Almost hard to believe really. I think we had more incomings/outgoings and net spend than them over the same period.

Surely that’s not an official document?

Names in lower case? Sam Waller being spelt with a 5

The underlying pdf is the official one. I just quickly copy/pasted the Burnley bit so I could put it in the thread and a few errors came in.

What Leeds spent on agents' fees is higher than the wage bill of most of the Championship clubs.

I presume these fees include what clubs pay to offload players surplus to requirements. Suspect if Man U eg can get rid of quite a few this summer then agents fees could be money very well spent.......at least better than what they paid to recruit some of them in the first place
