Rams drop in agent spending

18 August 2010 11:00
The Football League's latest figures show that Derby spent £434,350 on agents fees in the 2009-10 season. The figure is significantly below the £1,042,000 that they spent in the 2008-09 campaign, however, all 24 clubs in the Championship paid a service for a licensed agent. The publication of Football League clubs' spending on agents' fees has revealed that money committed has increased in the last 12 months from £8.8million to £12.7million. Football League chairman Greg Clarke voiced his concern, saying: "Given the current economic climate, it is worrying to see such a significant amount leaking from the game. "This year`s figures demonstrate a considerable increase on those of last season and it is essential that clubs work to reduce this liability over the coming campaign."
