As with all estimations of transfer dealings, the information is only scratching at the surface of the true financing of these movements.

More often than not, terms of repayment and conditional add-ons can be taken in to account but this information is confidential contractual calculations and will most likely never come to light in the public domain.

Certain parts of his reputation are unfair, as he has had more successes than failures, and when you sit down and look at his transfer record over his 26 years as a boss you find that he has spent £208.23 million and recouped £230.37 million.

A quick comparison with Rafael Benitez has the Liverpool manager spending £210 million since 2004 and only accruing £125 million in the same period.

While in almost 24 years at Old Trafford, Alex Ferguson has spent £392.44 million on 89 players and made some £244 million by selling 216 players in that same time.

Arsene Wenger's record is quite impressive given the rewards he has managed to bring the club during his 13 years in charge.

Le Prof has brought 86 players to Arsenal at a cost of £220 million, and he has sold 162 for £194 million. A brilliant record, you'll agree, to almost break even after 13 long years.

I wonder where most of that £22 million went :)

Some of it is just wrong. Joey Beauchamp didn't come through the ranks at West Ham. They bought him from Oxford.

As Tom Bower's Broken Dreams makes clear, Harry's always been out for Harry, and he can't/won't control the wage bill.
