BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Leeds United | Leeds Utd 'spend £1.6m on agents'

Leeds managed to spend about £1.6m on agents' fees in just six months, according to the Yorkshire Post.
The Football League is due to publish figures on Thursday detailing the fees paid to agents in the past six months.
Football League chairman Sir Brian Mawhinney said the overall figure will be £5m, meaning Leeds' activities make up nearly one-third of the full amount.
"Those costs were incurred in sorting out the players that left," said Leeds chairman Gerald Krasner.
With Leeds seeking to regain financial stability after a period of rocketing debt, Krasner insisted the payments were a one-off expense to enable the club to offload several high-profile - and high-earning - players.
"We have saved many times over the amount spent on agents fees," said Krasner.
"Due to the one-off payments to agents, we have managed to reduce the annual wage bill from £43m to £18m.
"The amount spent on agents will be hugely reduced for the next six months."
The last time the Football League published figures back in July, the overall figure was £1.4m.
