Wow. Mental. Cheers for that Beeb. This can only plunge us deeper into crisis.

I wouldn't be too sure of those figures, considering our transfers. Or, the riddance of the deadwood and the signing of our current squad/manager cost us large?

It would appear that we spent just over £25 million (net) on transfers, and £10 million on agents. Interesting....

As someone on here said recently; 'when's the derby again?'

There's no mention of who wrote that article, and they claim the source is the Premier League but don't provide a link to verify it. I don't see how we spent more than Chelsea on agent's fees when the stumbling block for signing Hazard was apparently his/his agent's demands. Hazard wasn't their only big money signing in the summer either, and we're supposed to believe the agents didn't see Abramovich coming?

Maybe somebody told a lie that we were all happy to believe

I'd love to believe that we stuck to our guns over Hazard's agents's fees and demands. Nut perhaps there i different reason he went to Chelsea. That's all.

The plan was that we'd cut down on agent fees seriously by administration in charge of transfers. That can't be Marwood because I have been told that he doesn't really do anything, so I wonder who IS in charge. Money that represents 40% of net transfer lay spent on these leeches called football agents.

Then again, Liverpool are close second on that list. Talk about value for money.

The conquistadors are in charge now. But I know you were just being comical.

You know either Marwood or Mancini fucked up this summer window a lot. I chose to believe it was Marwood.

This belongs in the Chinners Bollox section.

I don't for a second believe Mancini has anything to do with agent fees. Anything at all. Managers at this level don't negotiate deals or contract extensions. They will just tell the suits which players they'd like to see signed and contracts extended.

This.

I guess it could explain why all of our signings were done at the end of the window.
