NFFC Financial Talk

[Sabricadabra]

FFP to be scrapped?

Interesting. I wonder if we will eventually get different ffp regulations in the Football League too.

Did everyone see the release of what clubs paid out on agents fees this season? We are 6th having spent nearly 2.2 mil which is a million more then last season and what have we got to show for it!

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

At least we are paying the agents now unlike when fawaz was here. We were running out of agents to deal with. Now it's a pleasure for agents to do business with us.

Chelsea spent £35m ( just on agents )!!!

It’s a different world...

I bet its a pleasure for them to do business with us.
“ Here take this Portuguese kid, trust me he will be the next Luis Figo, he will take you to the PL. Just pay me £200k...”

WE shouldn't be paying them a single penny! The players should pay for the services, not the clubs!!  :@

Sure, but that isn’t the real world we live in. Agents are a fact of life.

I'm not disputing that Sabri, what I am saying is it shouldn't be down to the clubs to pay Agents fees, it should be down to the players. It is the players who sign up to their Agents for their services.

As I have stated in a previous post (a few weeks ago), I wouldn't expect my employer to pay for my union subs, so why should a players employer pay for their representatives? It is the real world we live in, but it doesn't make it right!

Figs has been mainly good for us, Ribeiro too, Silva was decent and then we got a good fee for him. Carvalho we'll wait and see.

I would rather have agents to deal with than not have them. Fawaz burnt bridges with many of them because he wouldn't pay them now EM has repaired that damage that Fawaz caused the club. No agents = No players.

 Sometimes the clubs employ agents to move players on I gather but its that kind of thing that murkys the water. It means he gets paid by both club and player and encourages agents then turn up out of the blue at clubs to announce they have secured a move for player X, I'll make it happen etc.

All very distasteful. I agree agents should only be paid by players.

Calm down Sniff I was taking the pxxx! You dont need to leap to the defence of the owners every time, our recruitment has been a mess since long before either Fawaz or EM were in charge. I will continue to call them out though until things have changed. Just because we signed a couple of decent loans in January hasnt convinced me I afraid, they need to win my trust back on this.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I am calm mate

I don't leap to the defence of the owners at every opportunity, I am even critical of them sometimes.

I am just adding my two penneth nothing more nothing less.
