Getting this thread back to football, the latest fees paid to agents by clubs have been announced covering Oct 2014 - Sept 2015. Liverpool top the list with payments of 14m and Cardiff top the Championship list, we are 14th in the list. Obviously the teams that have been in the prem and are on parachute payments have much higher fees, but a couple of teams on transfer embargos, Forest and Blackburn, are considerably higher than other non-ex-prem teams.

Vultures are going to increase their fee's annually I'm sure.

noblot are in real trouble. Haven't paid their players this month and are almost certain to go down, battled a point out against Brentford.

It doesn't seem so long ago their fans giving us shit on 606 about how the mighty Bolton would never be below the likes of Sheffield Wednesday. Well, they'll be below Sheffield United soon.

Even back then though there were some of them worried about the amount of debt owed to Eddie Davies that the club was building up, but they never really thought they would really need to worry about it.  Of course they truly hated us for simply appointing Megson and it was such a shame when by the time he got us moving upwards 606 had closed down and we had moved to a different site from them.  We could really take the piss out of them now!!!

It would make for some enjoyable banter, wouldn't it? Just goes to show how quickly things can go pear shaped when the cash runs out. Something we've experienced.

Too right Imre. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch!

Brown envelopes passed backwards make the world go around.

The best days of football are pretty much over ( in the sense we used to know it) it's steadily become big business in the last decade or two. I'd expect the current trend we have been seeing to continue. Soon the older generation will be gone and it'll be completely normal for people to think we've always had playoffs and the rest of the smoke and mirror bullshit.
