Yeah that last paragraph doesn't make any sense

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

Liverpool will be overtaking your tin pot club next season.

So in other words, you want to use your own parameters to make Liverpool look better?

This is based on last year and last year only. But please feel free to do your research and post your findings

"Bit rich coming from a Liverpool fan, no? You out spent us and finished 8th."

Did we? Net figures are pointless as the outgoing players didn't help you achieve your league position. I suggest you look at the gross figures.

Interesting but here's the thing, I'm a football fan not an accountant.

Liverpool will be overtaking your tin pot club next season.

Like they've been saying they would for the last 4 seasons?

Chelsea spend:

Please say if i missed anyone out:

Marin - 7m
Oscar - 19m
Hazard- 32m
Ba - 7m
Azpilicueta- 7.5m
Moses - 7m

Total - 79.5m

everyone seems to think Oscar cost £25m

I suggest you look at the gross figures.

I'm not an accountant. But why are you now taking player sales out of the equation. Net spend is relevant in this article.

Again, please feel free to create your own article looking at gross

"So in other words, you want to use your own parameters to make Liverpool look better?"

No not at all. Tell us then, what is the aim of football? What do teams aspire, and essentially spend money to achieve?

Spurs aim for the exactly the same as Liverpool aim for. And as we've both won the exact same trophy in the last 5 years, I deam your argument flawed.

Redman, interesting you ask that. Ive just stumbled upon these figures by pure coincidence. Number of trophies are in brackets.

Net Spend per Trophy from 1992-2012:
Arsenal (10): £4.5m spent per trophy
Man Utd (21): £9m spent per trophy
Liverpool (9): £26.1m spent per trophy
Chelsea (15): £39m spent per trophy
Tottenham (2): £88m spent per trophy

£44m for each Coca Cola Cup

Why go back 5 years? Why not 2 years or how about 7 years?

Is it symptomatic of the off season, or is this modern football in general, that we now argue more about which clubs are the best run businesses than which are the best on the fecking pitch? Discussing figures on output and income is so mundane

The resort of the feeble minded - delete posts

So did you have an argument or not?

Keep it greasey, call me a w-anchor, I'll delete the post. No childish insults on this thread

Net spend IS relevant considering its the players you buy that help you achieve your league position, not the players you sell.

£/pts
Spurs £854,166.66
Liverpool £786,885.24

I was suggesting you weigh anchor & leave port - what's insulting about that?

Why go back 5 years? Why not 2 years or how about 7 years?
