Just came across this, knew he was good, but didn’t know he was this good, he won the treble on the back of a -£40000 net spend

Wow, look at the scale back then! I’m sure big money signings existed, and Liverpool lacked the spending power they had in the 80s.
I would go back to this in a heartbeat! Mo Salah etc doesn’t need 400,000 a week. It’s ridiculous.
Lots of variables to factor in and the number one thought being the population/fan base increase in scale impacting Tv Audiences and Revenue. Remember back then, not many households could afford Sky Sports, etc.

Where is this from? What Source? These figures are completely wrong. I have had a look and i get it at a net spend of £26.95m Still not loads considering what they won. I would question the other figures of the other teams if the United one is so wildly wrong!
The major signings for United were (over £500,000):
1992 – Dublin £1m
1992- Cantona £1.2m
1993- Keane £3.75m
1994- May – £1.4m
1995- Cole £7m
1996- Van Der Gouw £500,000
1996- Johnsen £1.2m
1996- Solskjaer £1.5m
1996- Poborsky £3.5m
1996- Cruyff £1.5m
1997- Sheringham £3.5m
1997- Nevland £1.5m
1997- Berg £5m
1998- Greening £750,000
1998- Stam £10.75m
1998- Yorke £12.6mTotal £56.65m (plus around £600,000 in other signings) so £57.25m
Major Outgoings Over £500,000:
1992- Robins £800,000
1992- Webb £800,000
1994- Dublin £1.95m
1995- Gillespie £1m
1995- Hughes £1.5m
1995- Ince £7m
1995- Kanchelskis £5.8m
1996- Sharpe £4.5m
1997- Poborsky £2m
1998- Pallister £2mTOTAL: £27.35m (plus around £2.95m other signings £30.3m
This gives is a net spend of £26.95m
Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet…

Tugay-
I believe the figures go up to the players bought in before the 98-99 season. So from seasons 92-93 to 97-98.

Ok, even using those transfers it is still £10.2m so it is still wrong.

You know you’re having a really bad season when you start a thread from when milder and scully were popular 🤣

The Newcastle one is £7m out and is £34.5m
The Arsenal one is £7m out and is £24m
The Liverpool one is £4m out and is £25.7m
The Chelsea one is bang on at £27.7
The Spurs one is £11m out and is £29.8m
The City one is £1m out at £13m
Aston Villa were £22m
Everton were £18.3
West Ham were £3.5m
Leeds were £22.7Just to add another one in there, Blackburn who were seen as big spenders actually were in profit by £100,000!
In conclusion, Man United didn’t spend as much as other clubs in those years. They then went on to spend a lot more.
Very quiet at work today so spent an hour looking this up haha.

Not sure why my response to Tugay was not posted.
Looking at the below website, the fees mentioned in my original post are pretty accurate. United’s was -£40000
Blackburn net spend within that time was £30m.

Apologies Blackburn spent £3m net. Massive fire sale after Jack Walker left.
But leading up to their title win, they spent £19m net. United spent -£900,000.

A bad season? Extremely generous there. A bad decade is more accurate.
Theres nothing good to say about this United side, so I have to go back a number of decades.

Fergie hit the jackpot in 1992 with the core team for the next decade and more all graduating from the academy at once. It was a youth intake that has never been seen since and meant he was in the position to fine tune the squad rather than overhaul like others.

Tugay-
Far from wrong bud.
92-93- £215.000 net
93-94- £285.000 net
94-95- minus £3.9m net
95-96- £2.9m
96-97- £500,000 net
97-98 – minus £2.5mSo the figures is roughly-£40000
https://www.transferleague.co.uk/manchester-united/english-football-teams/manchester-united-transfersBlackburn spent £30m net
https://www.transferleague.co.uk/blackburn-rovers/english-football-teams/blackburn-rovers-transfersNewcastle is pretty accurate too https://www.transferleague.co.uk/newcastle-united/english-football-teams/newcastle-united-transfers
Liverpool is £29m net between those times

I used Soccer base and added them up season by season. I’m pretty confident this is more accurate.
https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1724&teamTabs=transfers
You can also look up every team and every season going back as far as you like.
Anyway, I apologise for being a boring bastard haha.

One example that is completely wrong on the website that you are looking at is that is says Jon Macken sighed for Preston for £1.75 Million. That is complete rubbish and a made up figure.

I think the main difference is that my site has Stam coming technically in the 1997/98 season and signing for £10.75m but the other has him coming in the 98/99 season. I think its a technicality as Stam was signed in 1998 on July 1st haha.
