January 20/21 through to the present 23/24 season. Sourced off transfermarkt and converted to £s for sum total
€1=£0.86 later
Club - Income - Expenditure - Net
Manc - €370.47m - €541m - €170.53m
Manu - €114.09m - €609.98m - €495.89m
Arse - €123.1m -€596.24m - €473.14m
Chel - €486.8m - €1197.29m - €710.49m
LFC - €170.95m - €400.65m - €229.7m
Spur €192.49m- £549.9m - €357.41m
Total since 2013/14
Manc - £686.56m -£1697.71m -£1,011.15m
Manu £434.47m - £1602.65m - £1169.19m
Arse - £358.37m -£1210.21m - £851.84m
Chel - £1158.35m - £2149.32m - £990.97m
LFC - £668.07m - £1116.68m - £428.61m
Spur - £612.85m - £1088.12m - £475.27m
In terms of net spend - 2 groups
The 4 bigger net spenders: Manu, City, Cfc & Arse,
and 2 lesser spending clubs in spurs & lfc with half to a third of their net spend.
Similar with gross - 2 groups.
Big spenders CFC.... & Mancs
3 lesser spending arsenal, lfc & spurs.
For roughly the same amount of purchases over the decade as lfc & spurs, its cost Arsenal an extra 400 mill in cash.
That's bad for them
Chelsea lead gross spending by half a billion for the decade from both mancs. Roughly double arsenal, spurs & liverpool.
With less net spend than both Manc clubs. Chelsea a player trading club.
This timeline split above, kind of shows Pep at city over the last 3 years and a low net spend... lowest of the top 6.
It also shows a last 7 years of Roman v 3 say of Toddy.
Over the last 3 years it cost Toddies Chelsea about £600m mill to purchase £1bill of players.
In the preceeding 7 seasons essentially under Roman, it cost Chelsea £380m to sign £1.1bill of players.
Under my analysis Roman > Toddy by the books.
Comparing LFC for the decade v CFC under Roman for 7 years on net spend... your go to shining light of an owner.
LFC - £668.07m - £1116.68m - £428.61m
Chel - £739.7m - £1119.65m - £379.95m
Per season
LFC - £66.8m - £111.6m - £42.8m
Chel - £105.6m- £160m - £54.3 m
In terms of ratio there's some symmetry with our operations over a decade with theirs under roman.
Of course inflation has risen due to its sources....
I'll return later to the PL top 6.
An examination of the market value of players bought and sold.
This will assess the spends further - comparing the valuation of the player at the time via transfermarkt and the fee paid or received.
For example, one time, back in 16/17....
Chelsea
Expenditure - 132.8m
Market Value of players purchased 186.3m
Good bang for bucks. Getting 1.4 times the fees
Income - 108.9m
Market Value of players sold 226.25m
50% off market value on sales.
So for the Net spend of 23.9m cash, Chelsea managed to decrease their squads overall Market Value by 40 mill.

LFC - Same year
Expenditure - 79.9m
Market Value of players purchased 141.25m
Good bang for bucks. Getting 1.42 times the fees in value - same as chelsea essentially
Income - 85.38m
Market Value of players sold 119.75m
30% off on sales.
Markedly better than Chelsea.
So for the Net profit of 5.48m, Liverpool managed to increase their squads Market Value by 21.5 mill.
Via transfers LFC were paid 5.48m to increase the value of its squad.
We added Mane, Gini & Matip in Klopps 1st summer building organically. Turning a profit after years of Net spending under BR.
