The Football League's latest figures show that Sheffield United spent £324,500 on agents fees in the 2009-10 season. The figure is more than double the £145,000 that they spent in the 2008-09 campaign as all 24 clubs in the Championship paid a service for a licensed agent. The publication of Football League clubs' spending on agents' fees has revealed that money committed has increased in the last 12 months from £8.8million to £12.7million. Football League chairman Greg Clarke voiced his concern, saying: "Given the current economic climate, it is worrying to see such a significant amount leaking from the game. "This year`s figures demonstrate a considerable increase on those of last season and it is essential that clubs work to reduce this liability over the coming campaign."
