I do. The money going to agents (which is a small percentage of a player's earnings) wouldn't go to the club if the agents didn't exist. It would probably go to the player.

Furthermore, agents get paid by raising the profile of a player (say, by adverts). This draws more money into the club as a popular player will increase cash-flow and popularity into a club. So quite the opposite is true.

I suspect Neville's having some agent problems and venting. I wonder what his agent is on?

Be all and end all is that in this day and age, celebrities, not least Premiership footballers just can't get by without agents managing them. Not just brokering deals, but dealing with the press, etc.
