I’d be more interested in who the payments are to.
If it’s a spread of people, no problem.
If it’s to one agent, one agency, I’d like to ask e few more questions.
One being if the main recipient pays other agents.

I'm in the same boat mate.

Unlikely. Very few of ours are with the manager's agent Struan Marshall. Don't expect - at least via the boss - to be funnelling profit to one agency (a la the tragic hat).

Barasic, Gresda and Katiic all came through the same agent?

 

[archimedes]

I think Gerrard has a net worth of around £60 million.

Put it this way, he's no Warburton.

I suppose what I’d be trying to establish is that we’re not using one agent or agency and ignoring or dismissing what another has to offer

That’s pretty much it, I guess.
Ultimately, so long as we’re doing the best for Rangers but I can’t believe this would include exclusivity to one agent.

I’m nae mathematician but that breakdown doesn’t come near to almost £6m.

 

[millar2318]

I don't see the benefit in seeing to what agents, or why anyone would want to know? Clubs aren't public bodies so they have no obligation to disclose

Remember though this will include agent fees for contract renewals etc so it will be a huge number of folk

If I were an agent though I'd hate working in Scotland. Commissions look pish out with us and them

Ross County

Funnily enough the top 6 spenders on that chart are the top six in the top division. Whodda thunk it.

 

[gersandproud]

Large as this total is - especially as it's essentially 'dead' money - I somehow thought it might be more

 

[SuperFuzz]

I’m nae mathematician but that breakdown doesn’t come near to almost £6m.

Yip, the numbers added together are less than half the figure shown as the total.

 

[KopGer]

Some recent dealings:

argentumspor – croats/albanians
SAMII SPORT-MARKETING AGENTUR – goldson
crown football ltd – kent
promo sport – candeais
sky andrew – jermain defoe
struan marshall – steven gerrard
the players’ agent – scott arfield

 

[Valley Bluenose]

The OP has missed out a couple of lines above the Total figure he quotes, which perhaps explains where the £5m+ figure comes from.

Doesn't make the article any clearer at all though as none of it still adds up.
