How much every Premier League club paid per point earned

[davieG]

Not that it tells the whole story. They should do this with total current squad costs.

Premier League champions Liverpool paid the least amount of all clubs in England’s top division per point with the Reds spending less than £100,000 for each of their 99 points.

In comparison, Manchester United cost-per-point was almost £3m, putting them as second most expensive.

Only Aston Villa, who gambled £143m in transfer fees to avoid being relegated following their promotion, spent more per point.

It just about worked for Dean Smith’s side, who survived with 35 points but each one cost over £4m.

Manchester United splashed out last summer on Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire before again spending big on Bruno Fernandes.

 

Their total spend, according to BonusCodeBets, was £192.6m taking the cost per point to £2,918,182.

A BonusCodeBets spokesperson said: "Manchester United's deep pockets just about got them over the line to finish in the Champions League in a season where big-spending didn't always result in a big points return.”

Liverpool were quiet last summer and spent just £9.36m, meaning their 99 points came at a cost of just £94,545 per point.

Jurgen Klopp guided the Reds to their maiden Premier League title with Manchester City coming second.

This is actual spend, not net spend for last season. I wonder how different this would look on a net spend basis.

Do the figures include wages?!

[Charl91]

Doesn't seem to include wages, so it's meaningless really.

 

No way Liverpool are only spending that much if it includes Wages.

Really weird way of making Liverpool look frugal by counting only expenditure from the 19/20 windows and not the cost of the whole squad overall, when they spent world record fees on the keeper and centre back. Their squad cost almost £600m to assemble.

Thing is the media love the romance of Liverpool winning it again coupled with the characterisation of Jurgen Klopp as some kind of in-your-face visionary. 

 

Don't forget, he doesn't play fast paced football like teams like Wolves. He plays 'Rock and Roll football'.

 

He doesn't close teams down on the ball he uses 'The High Press' as though this is something deserving of proper noun status. 

 

It's a narrative and media love narratives. They're going to get tonnes of mileage out of this. The alternative is to report that a very good manager was given a lot of money and more time than usual to assemble a great team capable of winning. But that makes it too simple.

A net spend table wouldnt fir the liverpool done it on a budget mantra.  So we get these actual spend tables instead.
