spencer 1970 214 Posted February 10, 2022 ...in the last 10 seasons. Interesting reading (imo) Fair play that we're just about sea level. You've got to laugh at Everton, Villa and possibly even Arsenal considering recent years. No surprises with the Manc clubs. S'oton and especially Brentford look to have great models too but i can't help think we'd be dangerous with a bit more clout...but as we're renowned low wage payers, I’d be interested to see what this table looks like with said wages included. Net Spend of Current Premiership Clubs (last 10 seasons) (£m) Teams -1075 Manchester United (ENG) -984 Manchester City (ENG) -583 Arsenal FC (ENG) -429 Everton FC (ENG) -424 Aston Villa (ENG) -413 Chelsea FC (ENG) -374 West Ham United (ENG) -347 Liverpool FC (ENG) -339 Newcastle United (ENG) -336 Tottenham Hotspur (ENG) -292 Crystal Palace (ENG) -275 Leicester City (ENG) -248 Brighton & Hove (ENG) -247 Wolverhampton FC (ENG) -181 Leeds United (ENG) -105 Burnley FC (ENG) -94 Watford FC (ENG) -61 Southampton FC (ENG) -4 Norwich City (ENG) +43 Brentford FC (ENG) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 6,260 Posted February 10, 2022 Some questions. Is this just transfers or everything? Brentfords figure is just for this season? If it's a minus does that mean they've spent more than they've received? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you are in minus you have made a loss, and if you are in positive you have made a profit. Brentford have made £43m and we have lost £4m. I'd take these figures with a bunch of salt though, there's all sorts of rubbish out there on the internet sadly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logically, given the heading of 'Net spend', a minus should mean the opposite, that they've received more in transfer fees than they spent on transfers, but I think you're right that it means, for example, that Man Utd have spent much more than they have raked in.

spencer 1970 214 Posted February 10, 2022 Its from here fellas, pretty reliable I'd say. https://football-observatory.com/-Posts- https://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2021/wp367/en/ Just to say this is Net spend, not the overall spend. Chelsea have spent 1.6bn on transfers but they've received £1.2bn in sales, so 413m Net. Incidentally their Net spend was near to 0 this season as although Lukaku was £100m(?) they clawed back close to that selling a bundle of players. It doesnt include wages. Lille in French France are £349m up in the last 10 years. Get their scouting network in! 👀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
