Venkys : Rotten to the core

[K-Hod]

Unbelievable. Oh hold on.....

[yorkblue]

I haven't a clue who could have made so much money out of this.

[DE.]

Jerome's done alright for himself here.

[Drover]

Ridiculous. Really highlights the mismanagement behind the scenes. I mean compared to some of the other clubs its unbelievable considering we haven't exactly spent much in the windows. I mean we have virtually the same fees as Manchester Utd looking at that list.

[mr bishi]

Everton done well to pay out 3 mill despite signing no-one

Agent fee's are paid on purchases, loans, sales and contract re-negotiations. Basically, if it moves in a football club, they will have their grubby mits all over it.

[thenonda]

7% of turnover. I wonder how much kean got for sales and new player contracts?

[Andy]

Was that a new coat ol' Slaphead was wearing last night...?

[chris]

you can moan all you want I hate Kean but we got a player in Rochina that will be worth a lot of money

if we get relgated yes we might lose out, but we did n't plan it that way, he going to be a talent, so we paid the price.

[Brfcrule1]

Andy glad you noticed shame we can't go and take the coat of his back as he hasn't even earned it I mean rewarding someone with a payrise for underperforming really makes my blood boil.

[den]

We've signed good players as long as we've been a football club, but without making people like Jerome Anderson a multi millionairre overnight.

[Muddboy]

We are even more of a laughing stock tonight.

A massive increase in money spent on agent fees and where has it got us? Rock bottom of the Premier League.

Ill-advised, useless, incompetent, stupid Venkys.

[donnermeat]

It's a big rise in fees in comparison to previous years, however we did buy more players. Albeit with borrowed money haha.

I'm sure it would have been less though without that snivelling conniving slimeball that is Anderson.

[Wiggy]

Let's remember that these are official agents fees. Would anyone be surprised if there weren't some fees hidden in the murky depths of present day Blackburn Rovers ( and South America, Eastern Europe) ?

[Elvis McSmithy]

i honestly thought it would be much more, i wonder if this includes the fees paid to anderson/sem for their "ADVISE", doubt it.

Also i understand clubs have to disclose these figures to the F.A or whoever, but is it the norm to post it on the clubs website, seems odd to me.

[Ozz]

It seems every DAY now another terrible news item unfolds about Rovers. It's like we've employed

[BuckyRover]

I expected it to be much higher.

Not going to get too worked up over this.

[Amo]

When I grow up, I want to be a football agent.

[rovers11]

I expected it to be much higher.

Not going to get too worked up over this.

Me too! Some even suggested we paid £10m to Formica's agent to get him here. Just shows how some rumours get blown out of proportion.

[BiggusLaddus]

The summer before venky's took over we signed Benjani on a one year free contract and Mame Diouf on loan. Of course we spent more on agents fees in the following two windows.

If these figures are accurate then we've done a lot better than I expected. Don't forget that some 'itk-ers' on here have been suggesting that the fees in the Formica deal alone cost a lot more than this.

[sam_rovers]

Disgusting...

I think venkys are just morons, deluded like steve kean.. what justifies such high agent fees? the awesome players we've signed?! Riberio, Petrovic, Anderson ?!

I'm fed up. We are definitely looking more and more like portsmouth........

Precisely.
