How much have prominent managers spent in the transfer market?

The leading managers in world football have never been afraid to splash the cash when top class players are available. But which manager has spent the most on signings during their career?

[JR Ewing]

Don't want to sound all Jeremy Corbyn, but they are genuinely obscene amounts of money.

 

[Captain Gough]

Klopp doesn’t feature. Surly a good thing from his point of view.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

I doubt how much input some of those managers had in the transfers eg Allegri and Ronaldo

 

[Captain Gough]

In addition, bit of a steal for Man City landing Aguero for 35m

 

[Irn-Bru]

Where does Ferguson come on that list?

 

[tartan_penguin]

Crazy money. When the wheel stops it will be messy.

 

[ChristchurchBear]

It was a few years ago

if anything they have done well not to punt to real

 

[Smkz23]

The Emery figure is massively inflated by Neymar which he had nothing to do with.

 

[SammyCoco]

Even Wenger made the list! Crazy amounts of money and won’t be sustainable in future

 

[macjohn212]

Is pogba the most over priced player Ever.....

 

[ChristchurchBear]

Crazy money. When the wheel stops it will be messy.

I doubt it will stop now, there’s far to much laundering and corruption in the sport for it to stop.

take sep blater and the Qatar World Cup for example.

 

[WW55 on the PRW]

I'd love to see one of that lot managing a Port Vale or a Barnet

 

[TonySoprano]

No way Wenger should be on that list he’s too tight lol

 

[bucephalus]

The agents' fees associated with those deals must be sickening as well.

 

[napierblue]

The Emery figure is massively inflated by Neymar which he had nothing to do with.

Yeah that’s an interesting point, this can make managers look like they’re mad spenders or have to buy big to win when some transfers have nothing to do with them in regards to price

Wonder where Mccoist is on the list?

 

[Wufty Bear]

£1.3bn ... jeez
goes to show how much money is floating around football

 

[Bazoo]

I would love to see an audit of these figures

 

[Hexham Blue]

Crazy money. When the wheel stops it will be messy.

messy or Messi?

 

[Withambear]

the amounts being spent are ridiculous,

 

[broxibearrfc]

Don't want to sound all Jeremy Corbyn, but they are genuinely obscene amounts of money.

Premier League footballers pay over 1 billion pounds in income tax annually.

Like everything else in life, we face both positives and negatives with the inflation of wages and prices in football.

 

[Wufty Bear]

Sergio Aguero £35 million ,,, a snip at today's prices lol

 

[cocobob]

Paul Pogba £89.3m. That has to be the biggest waste of money ever.

 

[Cathcart Bear]

I'd love to see one of that lot managing a Port Vale or a Barnet

Why would they though? They're the best at what they do, so they manage the biggest teams.

Would you expect Tim Cook to go back to managing a middle of the road tech company to prove himself?

 

[biodoc]

Wenger was the shock on that list for me, all that money spent and still never bought a defence.

 

[WW55 on the PRW]

To see their ability to manage a team without big money

 

[Fin5769]

What an obscene amount of money that's been spent. Not all on good quality players either.

 

[Gruger]

Mourinho was my first guess before i opened the thread.

 

[Hallers]

Yeah that’s an interesting point, this can make managers look like they’re mad spenders or have to buy big to win when some transfers have nothing to do with them in regards to price

Modern football I suppose

 

[BlueRambo]

Is pogba the most over priced player Ever.....

What about Harry Maguire ?

 

[KGer1872]

Sergio Aguero £35 million ,,, a snip at today's prices lol

Same price as Andy Carrol for a bit of perspective.

I think I know who got the better deal there.

 

[100clairebear]

Shows how good Klopp is that he doesn't need much money.

 

[Killer Bob]

Anyone who's been at Real likely to end up on the list. it would be good to see an average spend per player as well since Wenger some have been at it a lot longer than others

 

[adamcs]

That does not look good for Wenger at all. So much money and nothing to show for it.

 

[Myc74]

Can't help notice 9 out of those 10 have managed in the EPL circus

 

[Onslow52]

Scandalous the amount of money that's been spent. But then again if its your team buying a £30-40 millon plus player you think its great. The consequences are higher gate price, higher tv/sky price for the supporters.

 

[Born a Barras Hick]

What about Harry Maguire ?

Neither a patch on Balotelli

 

[esson_rfc]

Surprised peps biggest signing money wise is still zlatan

 

[11Laudrup11]

No surprise to see Mourinho top the list

 

[WW55 on the PRW]

Shows how good Klopp is that he doesn't need much money.

And long may it continue with regard Klopp

 

[esson_rfc]

Best signing on that list is Ronaldo for 80mill. Absolute bargain

 

[napierblue]

Modern football I suppose

Yeah and I suppose they do get the benefit of those players so it’s fair enough it goes against their names

 

[Hallers]

Managers these days get told who is signing, well PSG, Juve etc

 

[DRAGO]

Paul Pogba £89.3m. That has to be the biggest waste of money ever.

He has been pish for man utd but will move on and be a player elsewhere. He showed in the world cup how could he can be.

£89 million is a hell of a lot of money but there are bang average players now getting quoted as £50-60 million.

 

[Pedro1978]

Need to take into account how long a period the money has been spent over as well as the total amount spent.

 

[GarMckin]

Where does Ferguson come on that list?

Ferguson spent £546m. The ones at the top of that list have been working in the last 6 years since Ferguson retired though, when fees have become ridiculous, so i don't know if it's a fair comparison.

 

[WA Blue]

Scary amounts of cash being scattered around

 

[Cromarty_Blue]

Value of players sold is also highly relevant to these numbers.

 

[Sir Sidney Ruff Diamond]

Ferguson spent £546m. The ones at the top of that list have been working in the last 6 years since Ferguson retired though, when fees have become ridiculous, so i don't know if it's a fair comparison.

He managed for a lot longer though.
