Bloody hell!

edit:

I remember the annoyance I felt when annelka was pissing about and his agents (if i recall correctly a brother?) seemed to be instrumental in the shenanigans at the time.

I genuinely didn't realise that so much money in total went to agents... 77million in that year alone! heck...

WTF ???? We spent £5.5m on agent fees, 10/11 - 09/12 ???? Were any of them relations to Wenger ???

WTF? A SteveO and a SteveI?

I need to lie down

Where's Rune Hauge when you need him??? He should be our go-to man for getting rid of managers past their best.

The top ones make a fortune.

But there are a load who make very average livings.
I know one, he is in his forties.
Has a family, but spends his weeks flying all over Europe.
Takes up to six flights per week, always jet lagged.

Gets to an airport, cab to the hotel, two hours kip, goes to a game, meal after game with other agents and players, then up first thing for more meetings and straight back to the airport.

He wonders how long he can keep going, says that he has missed a lot of his kids life growing up.
