Rovers paid £141,006 to agents and intermediaries in season 2019-20. Within League One, six clubs paid more, though Fleetwood, MK Dons and Posh were in the same ball park as Rovers. At well over £300k each , Coventry and Ipswich paid more than double. And Sunderland laid out £1.35 million!! At the other end of the scale, Accrington, Wycombe and Gills paid about £30k or less. Bolton paid nothing. For comparison, the fees paid in the Championship ranged from Charlton (£304k) and Barnsley (£312k) all the way up to Brentford, Cardiff, Fulham and Leeds, who all paid over £3 million, and Swansea and Stoke, who topped £5 million!! City1982 shelled out £1.9m., the tenth highest total. In League Two, Bradford, Scunthorpe and Salford City all paid more than £100k. The transactions for which Rovers paid agents fees were for Mark Little (Bolton Wanderers), Josh Hare (Eastleigh), Tom Davies (Coventry), Anssi Jaakola (Reading), Jordi van Stappershoef (FC Volendam), Alfie Kilgour (BRFC , updated registration), Josh Barrett (Reading), Cian Harries (Swansea) and James Daly (Crystal Palace). (Former clubs in parenthesis). Agents Fees 2019-2020

It depends how the £141k was spent. If it was used to offload players and save more than that amount and enable them to be replaced with better players then I don't see an issue.
If it is money paid to bring players in then it is money down the drain and out of the game.

I’d like to think some lessons have been learned and that we will be wiser for it
