League clubs reduce agent costs
The Football League
Chairman Lord Mawhinney has urged Football League clubs to continue to cut spending on agents' fees.

League figures show a 25% drop in fees for the second half of last season, than in the same period in 2005-06.

Sunderland and Birmingham, both promoted to the Premier League, shelled out most to agents, while Colchester paid no money to licensed agents.

"I'm encouraged clubs have spent less money on agents' fees over the last six months," said Mawhinney.

Overall, Football League clubs paid agents a total of �8,584,321 in the last year.

Birmingham spent �321,200 in the second half of of the 2006-07 season, with Sunderland paying out �287,094.
