We paid the second highest fees, only beaten by another big Club in L1..................who finished 8th.

The narrative that SISU don’t invest into the playing squad isn’t true then

Sunderland - £1.3m

They're gonna be up shit creek without a paddle paying out that amount at league one level.

I was in France during the Euros, and that song is still perhaps my fondest football song that is non-CCFC related. Also have great affinity for Mo Salah ‘Egyptian King’...

Mad that Sunderland paid 1/3 of the entire league total.

They probably also had 1/3 of the leagues income

How many players did we sign? Was it about 10?

Puts everything in perspective though.

Last year Leeds spent 4 Million in agent fees!!!!!

Stoke City (£5.69m), Swansea City (£5.68m) and Fulham (£4.4m) headed the list with Luton Town (£298,000) registering the lowest amount.

How do agents fees work then? Is this an amount on top of the publicised transfer fee we buy a player for?

Say theoretically we buy Hamer for 1.4 mill this transfer window. Is the agents fee, say another 100k on top of that?

Can also be negotiating players out too.
I'd imagine Sunderland's includes offloading some of their previous high earners. Still utter madness.

Essentially yes
It often costs more in agent's fees to bring players in from overseas as the system is more opaque
That's a big reason why UK based agents are moving young players to places like Germany
If the player goes to another country (even Scotland) then there is no compensation payable if the young player refuses a new contract
The player then gets a bigger signing on fee - on which the agent takes a percentage
