  5. Premier League clubs paid a record £96m in fees to agents in the past year, with Chelsea leading the way as they spent more than £13m. Chelsea's outlay reflects their transfer market activity following the return of Jose Mourinho as manager. Manchester City, who had spent more on fees than anyone else for the previous two years, spent £11m. Champions Manchester United spent £4m despite struggling to add to their squad in the summer transfer window. In total, clubs paid £19m more than last year to agents following the increase in revenue from the new television deal. Crystal Palace were the only club to spend less than a million on fees, paying £869,532 to agents. Chelsea recruited Andre Schurrle, Willian and Samuel Eto'o during the close season to help their title challenge, while the arrival of Manuel Pellegrini as Manchester City manager prompted the recruitment of Jesus Navas, Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo. Tottenham paid a £9m in agents fees having spent heavily to expand their squad following Gareth Bale's record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid, bringing in players like Roberto Soldado, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela. By contrast, Manchester United made only one major signing following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, with Marouane Fellaini joining from Everton on deadline day. Southampton, one of the surprise packages of the season, spent £2m on fees. Total money spent on agents (Oct 2012-Sep 2013) Source: Premier League Chelsea £13,721,721 Manchester City £11,179,817 Tottenham Hotspur £9,787,676 Liverpool £9,400,973 Newcastle United £7,294,018 Arsenal £5,485,961 Sunderland £4,640,227 Manchester United £4,317,690 West Ham United £4,169,134 Fulham £3,790,115 Aston Villa £3,358,628 Everton £3,225,159 Stoke City £3,191,808 Norwich City £2,308,987 Cardiff City £2,225,582 West Bromwich Albion £2,211,054 Southampton £2,184,412 Hull City £1,825,718 Swansea City £1,484,878 Crystal Palace £869,531

  7. BOSSES of the two organisations are on collision course due to a fall-out over who was to foot the bill for the summer's big switchover. Scottish Professional Football League THE SPFL and SFA are on a collision course over the £1million tab for league reconstruction. MailSport understands fuming league bosses are claiming SFA chief executive Stewart Regan and president Campbell Ogilvie are reneging on an agreement to foot the full bill for the big switch-over in the summer. However it’s believed Regan is equally adamant that was never the deal they agreed and has the email trail to prove it, leaving the two bodies at loggerheads. The matter has been discussed both at SPFL board level and at a meeting of the 10 Championship clubs within the past 10 days. Former SFL chairmen in particular insist the SFA supremos gave them an unequivocal commitment to foot the bill for the nuts and bolts of the move to one league body at a meeting. At the time the SFA were desperate to see the two bodies unified and a pyramid system in place, putting another brick in the wall of their 2020 vision for the game going forward. But with the legal and accounting costs of dissolving the SFL and SPL, as well as creating the new set-up, the bill has skyrocketed close to seven figures. However, the SFA have issues with what it contains. It’s understood a six-figure pay-off for departing SFL chief executive David Longmuir is included as a “cost” of the reconstruction, one which will be hotly disputed, as well as the accountancy costs of the SFL’s due diligence into the top flight. The SFA’s understanding of their offer was to partially fund the legal costs but to make a wider contribution to the cost of the play-off system, pyramid set-up and parachute payments for SPL teams taking the drop. That deal would have exposed them to a figure in excess of the £1m mark but over a longer period of time. MailSport, however, believes several league chairmen want a hardline stance taken in any negotiations, despite the fact their coffers have swollen in the past week with a £2m a year deal with Chinese TV. It’s also understood the probe commissioned into secret bonus payments made to Longmuir during his SFL tenure is ready to be presented to clubs at the end of the week. The payments – totalling more than £400,000 – were discovered during the reconstruction process. Then-president Jim Ballantyne claimed to have the discretionary power to award the cash without SFL board approval. It’s believed some of the money could already have been paid back – however that may not be enough to satisfy the clubs awaiting the report.
