Premier League clubs spent a staggering £96m on fees to agents in the last year.
Add to that wallet-busting wages to players and multi-million pound deals for managers and you start to realise that the so-called beautiful game is out of control.
The people who ultimately pay the price are the fans, who are asked to fork out crazy money to get through the turnstiles in order to witness what can often by a substandard game.
Do you think there is too much money in football?
And what should the authorities do about it?
