(As usual I should warn that these figures might be wrong. But they won't be wrong by much. Hardly at all in fact.)
I might be the only one that thinks this might be interesting but this year might be really interesting. Especially the income figures. Are we starting to see the challenge of the Covid and post-Covid football transfer world?
Expenditure
Coming in just short of FF£780m it's the second most we've spent between us in a season. Three teams spent less than £20m and a further six less than £35m. At the other end of the scale two teams spent over £100m and four more over £60m to really drive the figure upwards.
Income
The amount our teams received in transfer money was down to around £325m, less than half last year's total and the lowest since 2013/14.
Only one team brought in more than £35m and five teams were in the single-figure millions.
Overall
Between us we turned in a massive loss of over £450m. That's the most since I've been doing this, by just over £200m, from the previous record holder 2007/8 - the first season I have figures for.
Two teams lost over £90m each, the two biggest single-season team losses ever. Three teams made a profit but only to the tune of around £6m between them.
(Since 2007/8 we're running at more than FF£2bn in deficit transfers-wise.)
Will we be tightening our purse-strings from here or was this season a one-off. Time will tell.
