Administrator Stan 18,349 Posted September 9, 2022 Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62833665 Quote Football agents earned $494.4m (£430.8m) in the latest transfer window, says governing body Fifa. They released a snapshot report detailing analysis of international transfer activity over the summer. It reveals that football agents collectively banked almost 10% of the $5bn (£4.36bn) total value of male player transfers. This year also saw record-high numbers of male and female player transfers across the globe. The report showed that the ratio of agent service fees to transfer fees during the mid-year registration window has grown from 6.1% to 9.9% in the last 10 years. This year's total male transfer window value of $5bn (£4.36bn) surpasses the previous year's, increasing by 29.7%. Most of the transfer business from the summer was conducted in English football, with the Premier League spending a record £1.9bn. Further records were broken, with Manchester United's £81.3m signing of Antony becoming the Premier League's most expensive final day transfer ever. Whilst English football's deadline-day was the first of September, the transfer window for several European countries such as Turkey ends today. Women's football recorded 684 international transfers - an increase on last year's figure of 14.4%. Meanwhile, the men's game saw an increase of 16.2% with 9717 registered transfers.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The worst are actually recruitment agents. They are little rats and vermin people who prey on others knowing they can't find their own local work in the area, as the agencies have their mits on it all. Then if you leave a job with them they don't pay you, or they make you chase money up, some even try and be threatening, like you'd really be intimidated by one of those little weasels. They make alot of money off other people carrying out risky jobs, while they are the ones driving the nice company cars for doing literally nothing all day other than make the odd phone call or txt. They are by far and wide worse than any drug dealer and these agencies should be made illegal. It's even worse when they employ attractive women, simply because they have an arse and tits and these women are recruiting employees for an industry that they know absolutely nothing about. Just think how much money could be saved if they didn't exist and how many more people would have longer term work instead of having to go from job to job? These employees could even have a nice pay rise and money would still be saved. Football agents are just robbing the rich, recruitment agencies rob the poor!
