Managers, however, can charge up to 25% - once again, this is a sign of someone who is disreputable. I'd give a manager 15% if I didn't have an agent as well, but as soon as an agent is added to the equation the manager's fee should drop to 10%.

Is it neccesary to have both? I understand that an agent tries to get you work, but what would a manager do for ya?
