Mr. Ten Percent Is No Longer A Secret Agent

In the past, the amounts of cash that clubs forked over to their players’ Mr. ‘Ten percents’ was a complete secret, but now the Premier league has decided to follow the Football League and reveal what we all knew anyway…That football agents are rolling in dough and make an absolute killing.

In the last year, Premier League football clubs paid agents a whopping 70.6 million in fees. EPL Agents biggest friend was of course Manchester Arabia who secured the services of their players by handing over 12 million to the agents of Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez, Emanuel Adebayor and many others.

Cheslea paid agents 9.5 million, Liverpool spent 6.7 million and Manchester United’s fees totaled 1.5 million. Mr. Ten percents least friendliest club was Burnley. Their bill to agents for new players was just 468k. Tottenham were fourth biggest spenders with an agent’s outlay of just over 6 million pounds.

I must be in the wrong game, full list here.
