Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway has hit out at football's middle-men.
Ollie, writing in the Sunday Mirror, declared: "It's a meat market - with vultures that like to call themselves agents picking the game down to its bare bones.
"I have lost count of the number of players we have been offered since we hit a £100million jackpot with our play-off win over Watford. Many agents seem to believe that money belongs to them by right. Some approach you, claiming to have a mandate to work on behalf of players and the clubs that are selling them.
"In reality, most of the time, they have no agreement in place and are just chancing their arm.
"Premier League football is nothing like the shiny, sanitised product that they portray in television ads.
"The game has got more than its fair share of chancers, parasites and hangers-on just out to make a quick killing.
"And the higher up the food chain you go, the greedier they seem to become."
