I think you have to look at it another way too, how much they've earned from achieveing the position they did. For example, United spent 400k a point, but won the title and will have recovered/profited a ton from that.

Is this Net Spend? Or just money spent on transfers regardless of player sales?

That is only based on last years transfer activity then, surely?

Spurs

They have spent 500m and have 2 mickey mouse cups to show for it.

Spurs also made a loss last year.

So Tottenham can't make CL this way either then

Good luck with the new stadium made of balsa wood

I guess teams like Chelsea, it's no big deal. If you can afford to spend that much per point and you get enough of them to get 3rd, then go for it. It's much more worrying for a team like Southampton (though would sacking Adkins have taken a chunk out of this) Surprised City's is as low as it is tbh

More revealing would be looking at the relationship between total expenditure (including wages) and points total, ideally over a period of time, since there is fluctuation in transfer expenditure from window to window.

Mr Chelsea

Mr C, if Spurs spent £100m a season, I'm sure we'd finish in the top4 every year.

2013-The year new & obscure ways are found to justify finishing 5th in the league. Call me old fashioned, but I always thought the aim of this beautiful game of ours was to win trophies?

I wonder what the overall figures would be, I'll even say from the beginning of the PL, are for per trophy?
