| Laudrup's agent made millions from Swansea transfers 09:20 - Dec 4 with 5888 views | wiredgoon |
Big news in Denmark today is that Michael Laudrup's agent, the endearing Bayram Tutumlu, has made millions getting paid whenever Swansea bought players.
According to Politiken, which one of the European news papers taking part in the Football Leaks investigation, Tutumlu got paid as much as 32 million Danish kroners, something like 3.6 million £. Those payments would usually come from the selling clubs or other player agents. That however is apparently not in accordance with the official guide lines.
Also, it should be noted that Swansea suspected that Tutumlu had a hand in some wrong-doing and that they stated that as one of the reason when they fired Laudrup. Politiken found that in a letter from the club management to the League Manager's Association, dated February 13, 2014.
Both Tutumlu and Laudrups claim that they have done nothing wrong. It should also be noted that Politiken didn't find any documents indicating, that Laudrup were paid any of the money, that Tutumlu got.

"Agents gotta gets paid" shock.
I wouldn't doubt for a second that Tutumlu profits handsomely from his association with Laudup. If we weren't paying him we'd be paying somebody.
Jenkins, Dineen and co were probably a bit jealous. |  |

Football is extremely sad these days. Football is a massively distant second to money in nearly all aspects.
As unrealistic as it is, id love the FA to have a seperate branch of their business where every single payment out of a club must be ratified by them first. |  |

I dont agree on what seems to have happened but am i surprised? no not really!
Its the premier league and it seems to be the nature of the beast, if you agree with it or not.
At the end of the day, the players that Laudrup brought in made us a solid premier league team and if you want that in the premier league then it comes with a cost. |  |

If he only pocketed £3.6m with us then we did quite well given how many players we signed through him. |  | | |

I think the issue would be that the selling club were paying him.

Jesus fck, what does everyone expect ?
We have for years recruited players through agents, we were the highest payers of agents in the championship ffs ! We have never let that go. People have continually asked on here what our scouts do, we haven't got any apart from a few in the U.K. This is the consequence of lazy recruiting. Expect it, understand it and for fcks sake people listen !
We employ agents to recruit players, everyone got it now ? |  |

£3.6 million is worth every penny compared to the signings we signed in the last couple of seasons. Get him back on board for the January window. [Post edited 4 Dec 2016 10:08]

the whole game is corrupt (probably always has been) everyone is working the system in some way or other to gain financially so these revelations are no surprise to me. |  | | |

Laudrup got Michu and Chico for 2 million each.
Pablo (and Ki) for around 5 million each
Guzman on a loan.
Amat and Canas for less then a million each.
A team which beat Valencia in Spain.
And the most important thing, which another one writes in here - they knew how to play the Swansea way. [Post edited 4 Dec 2016 11:37]

But that was in the days of a great deal less TV cash, so had a bigger impact on the club's finances. | | | |

£3m quid for signing Michu,Chico,JDG,Pablo,Bony,Canas,Pozuelo and Amat?
Seems a bargin to me.
Get tutu back ASAP!!
2014-2015 the swans spent £4,25M in agents fees, look what we got for that compared with what tutu got us. |  | | |

Agree we could of sold Michu for 20 million at the end of his 1st season
Jenkins has wasted (and probably been paid ) far more for signing shite |  | | |

Agree a usual but if he came back now he would not have ML as the pulling power to close the deal. He would have fecking Bob instead. Most replies would be 'thanks but no thanks'.
It highlights a problem we now have in the new window. What players of quality would come here? Have we got the ability to identify them? Have we got any money to do any deals?
Same applies if Bob is shown the door. We are a complete basket case club now so what manager would take us on?
I think we are doomed Captain Mainwaring. :-( |  |

If Gonzo and fatty are that jealous, then why don't they take over team affairs. They clearly think they can.
That said, I did say it all seemed fishy when Bayramgate kicked off soon after Huw publicly declared that the useless Israeli was on the way out. |  |

So he helped bring us the likes of Michu, Pablo, JDG and has made less money than someone who snuck shares out of the club when he was leading the organisation set up to ensure the Swans would always be ok.
Ever think life's a bit unfair? |  |

Disagree sadly mate.
They'll be fine, they have been going to the Liberty and sitting in the directors box without a care in the world since the sale. I despise the blokes with a passion, but this isn't the same fans that hounded out Petty. | | | |

This is a complete non-story. The agent's fees were going to be paid regardless--if they didn't go to Tutumlu, then it was going to someone else. Frankly, I'm delighted that Tutu was the one who got the lion's share of the fees. He presided over our most successful period and was the one who brought in the players that made us play some of the most scintillating and aesthetically pleasing attacking football in Europe. If £3.6m was all that Tutumlu received for all that he provided us, then we should be fvcking grateful.
The thing is, we actually ended up paying MORE in agent's fees after Tutumlu left. By our own admission in fact. And not only we were paying more in fees, but we were buying players of a much, much lesser quality. The club published a statement in 2015 regarding how in the period after Laudrup and Tutumlu (October 2014 to September 2015), we spent £4.25m on agent's fees:
http://www.swanseacity.net/news/article/swans-spend-4.25m-on-agents-2828558.aspx
So not only were we saving money on agent's fees when Tutumlu was around and the one in charge of handling our transfers, but we were actually buying quality. Just look at what an absolute fvcking nightmare our transfer business has been since he's left. It's almost as if we can't conduct transfers without him. Frankly, I'd do anything to have him back. |  |

Actually we signed Marvin Emnes before Laudrup even left the club. It went downhill the moment Tutumlu was banned from the stadium. | | | |
