Before 2009 agent fees were not published by the FA.
In 2011/2012 West Ham were in the Championship were there was no requirement to declare agent fees at the time.
What would be interesting is having to break down these amounts by which agent over the last 5 years.
I think as a club that should be transparent to the supporters.
Would be interesting to see if it’s true about Sullivan ysiyhis mates or dispelling those rumours.
Also match it vs the women’s team sponsors?
If football cannot curb the obscenity of agents fees then the Goverment needs to step in. All leagues in parlous state due to covid and then we see how much these parasites are leaching out of the game. No wonder the Goverment are not keen to put any tax payer money into pro football!!
