Including what we would have spent anyway, so not additional expenditure or net investment, just total spending. If you take the rag's turnover figure and deduct the profit (before tax) then you can add up their expenditure too and probably get it to something quite close. I can't be bothered.
A lot more, but I won't bore you.
I'd like to know, I just can't be bothered looking it up and adding it up :D
It becomes a good read and defaults this 930 million myth, that's just totallity. Now, if we boil it down to spending of the main clubs, on the clubs, that's the story but no-one cares.
It was actually in response to a Toon fan who came out with the statement that 'We'd bought the league'. Nice bloke who wasn't taking the piss but was more in retaliation to not getting that CL place.
Anyway, thanks all for the replies, the reminders of Sunday (if only to pre-empt my browsing) were much better.
