Swansea splashed out £335,241 on agents' fees in the 2009-10 season to more than quadruple their spend from the previous year. The Football League's latest figures show the Swans dramatically increased their spending on agents fees from £70,000 in the 2008-09 campaign 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 and was up by almost £3m in the Championship alone. 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."
