I wasn’t sure what the spending of Premier League clubs would show for sure, however, I’m not surprised at all by what I discovered.

So these three seasons’ worth of figures begin with the summer 2022 transfer window.

Which from a Newcastle United perspective, means all transfer windows post-takeover, apart from that emergency January 2022 one to try and avoid the relegation inheritance that was faced mid-season.

For those who claim that Newcastle United have been spending outrageous fortunes giving them a massive advantage over the other clubs, the reality is of course something very different.

Plus, Mike Ashley had run Newcastle United into the ground for a decade and a half, refusing to put any realistic funding even into the Academy.

Almost all of these Premier League clubs had massive advantages over NUFC, built up over so many years.

So when the Newcastle United takeover happened, we had a team/squad/club that was facing a third relegation in the 13 Premier League seasons we kicked off under Ashley.

The likes of Man U, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City all had teams and especially squads, that were on a whole different level to Newcastle’s, both in terms of quality and how much they had cost to be put together, as well as the wage bills paid at each of them.

Newcastle United were faced with having to buy a new team and squad basically, the fact that Eddie Howe worked miracles to get so much out of so many inherited players, was/is nothing short of astonishing.

Newcastle United have spent less than the likes of Forest and West Ham on new signings these last three seasons.

NUFC almost identical to two other clubs promoted at similar times, in Aston Villa and Brighton.

The Liverpool and Man City figures that are not that much lower/higher than Newcastle United can’t be taken as valid comparisons. As I say, they have spent so much more money over the years before this time period and so many other advantages over NUFC with taking young players from other clubs and putting massive money into their own Academies.
