Payments by Leeds United to players’ agents doubled to almost
£1.3million last season, new figures published by the Football League
reveal.
Agents fees incurred by the Elland Road club rose dramatically during
the 2012-13 term, rising from £604,286 in the previous season.
United’s costs covered 76 transactions, 46 of them relating to
transfers. That figure also climbed significantly from 45 transactions
in 2011-12.
Last summer saw a major overhaul of the squad at Leeds with the signings
of former manager Neil Warnock running into double figures.
Twelve loan deals also contributed to a total expense of £1,283,234, the
fifth highest outlay in the Championship behind Blackburn Rovers,
Cardiff City, Crystal Palace, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In all, Football League clubs paid £21.5million to agents between July
1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
