Sir Mark, speaking to LBC, said: “Last year, 2023, controlling football in London charged us £18. 5 million, which the Premier League doesn’t pay.
“If you were looking to benefit the police by paying for the policing they bring to communities, that would be a more difficult example.
“Arsenal, Chelsea and the rest don’t pay our agents on the street.
“There is a very narrow legal framework that says that civil servants who go to the field are paid.
“All those agents that run things on the court come from our budget.
“There are very few officials on the ground.
“But who’s on horseback, dealing with the clutter before and after, around the stations and so on, that was £18. 5 million last year, unpaid. “

Brentford boss Thomas Frank recently insisted he is “99 per cent confident” that his star man will NOT be sold during the January window.
But Toney has now admitted: “You can never expect when the right time will be to move somewhere else, but I think it’s clear that I need to play for a big club.
“Everybody wants to play for a top club that is fighting for titles. Whether it’s this January that is the right time for a club to come in and pay the right money, who knows?
“But my main goal is to do what I do in the box and let the groundwork do itself. “
Arsenal target Ivan Toney has vowed to save Brentford’s season and book a place in England for Euro 2024 ahead of his epic comeback.

If I just fall short, then hopefully I can become the second best in the world.
Brentford star Ivan Toney has hinted that he could move in the January move window amid interest from Arsenal as he needs to play for a “top-tier club competing for trophies”.

Everyone to play for a great club, fighting for titles.
Will January be the time for a club to come and pay the amount, who knows?
But my main goal is to do what I do in the box and let the legwork do itself.
Arsenal legend believes that the Gunners’ winter trip to Dubai could help them get back on track in the Premier League.
He told NetBet Online Casino: “Arsenal’s break in Dubai this month has come at the right for them to freshen up.
“They’ll take a break and let Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli take a well-deserved break and then get ready to play like they did last season.
“They’ve been back in the Champions League after several years of absence and that may have been part of their recent drop in form.
“Two losses in a row is a tough blow and there is no margin for error, but the next 3 or 4 games are ‘must-haves’, so my recommendation to them is to stay within contact distance. “
Arsenal legend Ray Parlor has decided to invest in a new striker after seeing his name fail.
He told online casino NetBet: “Arsenal want a centre-forward. They want a number nine who is strong, mobile and a player who likes to score goals.

“That said, January is a difficult time and I would wait until the summer.
“Toney is a player who can do well at Arsenal and suits the way Arsenal play, so he will have to pay for his religion at Brentford and then review the characteristics this summer. Toney would be the most sensible on the list in the fin. de the season.
“I would venture to say that if Arsenal were given the right number nine in their team, then they could win the Premier League next season (as I don’t see them joining the team in January).
“They’re not far from the most sensible and I think a high-quality centre-forward is all they want to get to the more sensible ones. I would love for them to win the championship this year, but it might be a year too soon. “. Possibly they would fail again, but possibly it would not be because they did not give their best.
Erik ten Hag is “very interested” in Matthijs de Ligt’s transfer to Manchester United, according to reports.

Ally McCoist would like to see Dominic Solanke build on his wonderful form by sealing a move to Arsenal or Tottenham.
The insider told talkSPORT BET: “Dominic Solanke is expected to move the January moving window around the clock.
“He’s in an incredibly rich situation right now and that may not last. As a result, he may never get another chance to sign for a club like Tottenham or Arsenal.
“If he has the opportunity to sign for a big club, for me it’s a no-brainer. It has to move.
Ally McCoist believes Arsenal need a more prolific striker if they are to challenge for the title.
The Scot told talkSPORT BET: “I like Eddie Nketiah, but I don’t think he’s going to make you win the Premier League.
“He’ll score a lot of goals and make a lot of money, but if we talk about the fact that Arsenal need to win the league, I don’t think they’re going to do it with Nketiah as their number nine, like it’s difficult as it is. Sound.
“At the moment, Arsenal don’t have anyone to score 15, 20, 25 goals in a season.
“Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus will continue to score goals, although not as many as they would like to win the title, that’s the problem.
“Ivan Toney is precisely what Arsenal need! He’s a real centre-forward. He can intervene and string the play together if you want, but he also gets into the box and scores goals.
“Victor Osimhen is another player who can do that and he would be my number one pick. However, if it is a question as to whether Arsenal should break the bank to sign Ivan Toney, the answer is yes.”
Former Arsenal captain William Gallas believes it would be “big” to pay £100m for Brentford Ivan Toney.
Chatting to Gambling Zone, Gallas said: “How much would Arsenal or Chelsea pay for him? Some clubs are thick.
“They don’t realise that there’s too much money in football so they’ll pay £100m for Toney. That means the player has to be an international player.
“He barely played for England. How can you tell me he’s worth £100 million?
“If you buy a player for £100m, it has to be a player. Spending £100m on a 27-year-old is too much.
“Either you spend £100m on a player or a young player that a team can invest in for the long term. “
