Heffing Psycho!

I think this is just the beginning mate, the names that will pop up as the window goes along might be even more crazy.
I was looking around at the amount teams relegated spend and it’s normally not much at all with the exception of Fulham who spent £100m once. It can amount to 40-50m with most teams but they are spread over several players between 6-9m. Sheffield United spent a bit over 2 seasons but they spent it so badly, McBurnie £20m, Brewster £22m, WTF!
I can honestly see us spending the most of any promoted team. Maybe Evangelos was telling the truth when he said we would need to reinvest all of the TV money.
Villa spent a lot their first season up, £140m or so iirc. I looked into it a few weeks ago and in general over the last few seasons the teams who have stayed up after coming up are the ones who have spent big. Brentford the obvious outliers, although they did get a huge player in Eriksen on a free.
