And I thought we were doing it on the cheap this summer and not signing anyone of any note

People may moan about him, but we didn't lose a single match at the Amex when Bill Archer was chairman #JustSayin'

Puts this Premier League malarkey in perspective doesn't it?!
Take your graph, and add the record signings mentioned in this other thread and we'll have a cracking post for all the data-junkies to drool over.

Probably because we were hemorrhaging money in the Championship.. we've now got a guaranteed £170mil no matter where we finish this season...

Nice chart - ta!
Edit: just spotted the faux pas! I'll leave it, rather than editing it out, for the merriment of all.
