Click on the above link to discover the transfer net spend of every League One team this season. And most interesting it is too, ranging from Shrewsbury's extraordinary £3.69 million, Oxford £1.44 million with Pompey sitting with a lowly group including Doncaster, Gillingham and Morecombe with a 0 Net Spend.
Is there a lesson for us there with the likes of Oxford, Rotherham, Wycombe amongst the big spenders.

You'd have thought Sunderland of all teams might have known that we had just given them some money for Denver Hume. Makes you wonder how many of the other teams figures are total fiction too. Looks like made up clickbait to me.

If it was, it worked on us.
When I saw this article I struggled to make any sense of the figures and I have some experience looking at balance sheets.
Yeh it doesn't take into account any salaries, which is basically 99% of a L1 teams budget
How much did we spend on Hume then?
It shows we were very tight with our cash.
It all went on the ground with next to nothing on players.
Also, we couldn't generate any cash from player sales.
Both Marquis & Harrison should have yielded something but obviously Not!

Hume was 200k according to reports at the time ... shouldn't think that will be far out. We also paid a fee for Morrell.
Harrison was sold for an undisclosed fee, but that means there was a fee. Marquis was only signed on a contract till the end of the season so there was never going to be a fee for him.
These figures are wrong, and pretty meaningless even if they were right because these days the fees you pay and the fees you receive have very little to do with the value of the player, just the length of contract. Wages are the key, much more so than fees, and a better indication of ambition. Identifying the best players coming to the end of their contract is the new skill in the market place.

It doesn’t show anything, it’s made up.

Yes, have to agree with you and DeepBlue.....hocus pocus clickbait
It's almost as if the Sunderland echo knows it has a local, massively underachieving football club with a passionate, over emotional, very reactionary, easily triggered fan base.
Good job the Portsmouth evening news never resorts to such things......
Thought the article is a load of old tosh
Mega surprised at Burton´s turnover ....35 players left ,does any club have that bigger a payroll ?
Ever since Harry, Pompey have mostly spent on wages rather than transfer fees, I guess it is similar for most clubs at this level. Apart from the odd splurge now and then when Sunderland get another new owner.
