I did a bit of work before the auction last year on transfer expenditure and I didn't want it to go to waste so I have updated it and present it here.
We start with totals from across the entire league.
Transfer Income
2009/10 - £432,250,000
2010/11 - £365,700,000
2007/08 - £336,575,000
2008/09 - £323,683,050
2011/12 - £289,338,000
2006/07 - £208,685,000
Only three teams turned in a profit on transfers last season and that was small beer compared to the losses made by the rest. All in all a fairly calm year by previous standards
Transfer Expenditure
2007/08 - £543,708,000
2010/11 - £512,150,000
2011/12 - £494,900,000
2008/09 - £471,250,000
2006/07 - £466,600,000
2009/10 - £443,250,000
A fairly average season as far as expenditure is concerned. Ten teams kept transfer losses to below £20m but the remaining three were well above that figure.
Total Business
2009/10 - (£11,000,000)
2010/11 - (£146,450,000)
2008/09 - (£147,566,950)
2011/12 - (£205,562,000)
2007/08 - (£207,133,000)
2006/07 - (£257,915,000)
So collective transfer losses across the 16 WSFFL teams are back through the £200m barrier for the first time in four seasons. Total spend across these six seasons tops £2.9 billion and the collective loss for the same period is over £975 million. Three teams account for a third of this figure.
While I'm here let's throw in some individual team records. Names and seasons withheld.
