Transfer dealings 2013/14

Like before, a little transfer round-up for you.

Income

Total received by our clubs was just over £307m, slightly down on last year but an average return. That total was swelled by the £86m spent by Real Madrid on The CFJs' Gareth Bale. Only three other teams exceeded £20m in transfer income.

Expenditure

Two teams dominated this season as the total of £468m was the lowest spent for four seasons. Those two teams splashed out £160m between them while five managers spent only £12m or less.

Total business

Losses across the league this season were around £160m, £40m less than last year. One team accounted for £63m of that while three more lost in excess of £25m.

Three teams turned a profit with one turning in the second highest figure of the last eight seasons at £26m+.

Over that eight season period half of the teams are in excess of £85m in the red on their transfer dealings.

Our champions Trusted and the upwardly mobile Fred West joint top with 12 representatives each spread between eight nations. The CFJs supplying eight teams too.

When we did this last time the pool came out on top with 10 followed by the Dead Parrots with nine. None of the players Fred supplied in 2010 are still at his club.

I'm not sure what any of this means but does it have to mean anything?
