Charlton Athletic paid £904,698 in agent fees between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026 - with only Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn spending less out of clubs in the Championship, reports Richard Cawley.
Birmingham, promoted as League One champions last season,
paid £1,996,502 while Wrexham, who were runners up, splashed £3,660,584.
Ipswich Town, beaten 3-0 by the Addicks at Portman Road
earlier this season, topped the spending charts with a whopping £11,738,920.
Charlton paid £430,596 in the same period between 2024 and
2025.
Clubs and fans don't like paying out fees to agents. Intermediaries may be necessary to the functioning of many markets, but that doesn't make them popular (think estate agents).
Charlton have clearly been cautious, but it also reflects their constrained budget compared with Championship rivals. Yet this never enters into online debates about the performance of Nathan Jones as a manager.
