[Football] Biggest Net spend in Europe in the last 10 years

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Now that's plucky.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Is there a similar table for wage spend over the same period?

I hate this trend of using badges and crests in lieu of names. The Germans love doing it to the point where their football results are unintelligible to anyone outside the German football fraternity.

Net spend ignores the money you've spent already that mitigates your expenditure in period. It's a bit misleading. And as @Uh_huh_him says, salary spend is a more reliable indicator of spending power.

 

[Brok]

Bit misleading, really.
Obviously half of Palace's expenditure was for the magnificent new stand.
I can't think what they've spent the rest on?

Yeah absolutely.
United's net spend of £120m per season is within the revenue levels of most premier league teams.

I think our big 6 have averaged between £210m per season to £250m per season on top of the transfer net spend.
Of course Man City are under investigation on some of the ways they recorded salary spend.

Well it wasn't St. John's Ambulance....

Which European league does the one 13th in the table play in ?

Which European league does the one 13th in the table pla

Good question. You could ask Australia and Israel. They know all about competing in European leagues.

The rest went on Zaha’s wages.

How badly run are Everton? 15th highest spenders, but constantly crap.

#13 Al Hilal is Saudi, no?

More nuanced and relevant than that, @El Presidente and his peers rank clubs on a combination of annual payroll costs and fees amortisation. Transfer fees are an important measure, they include the escalating fees being paid to agents by clubs.
