No fees for Rovers

18 August 2010 11:30
The Football League's latest figures show that Tranmere did not spend any money on agents fees during the 2009/10 season. Rovers were one of 14 clubs to make no payments to agents last term, having been part of a similar group of 19 clubs the season before. Spending on agents fees by Football League clubs rose to £12.7million over the past 12 months, compared to the 2008/09 figure of £8.8million. "Given the current economic climate, it is worrying to see such a significant amount leaking from the game," said Football League chairman Greg Clarke in response to the report. "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."
