Do you think we've spent more in the last few seasons on transfers than we've spent in our entire history?

Yes, yes I do.

Probably, but we're still in significant profit having made more money that at any time in our history

Sean's wallet probably hand crafted leather me thinks.

Sean's a money clip kinda' guy.

But he still can't afford a Twix......

Sean doesnt carry money

The Queen carries notes with a picture of Sean Dyche on

Probably costs more than his watch

I remember when we had United at home for Di Maria's debut it was announced then that United had spent more on Di Maria, £56 million I think, than Burnley had spent in their entire history.

So I believe since Dyche took over in 2012 the transfers he has made have totalled over £56 million so he as a manager has spent more that we had in our history but also the sales we have made as a net total I think he could be pretty much even if not in profit.

Drew that game didn't we? Played well and made di Maria largely look ordinary.

Didn't Michael Duff despatch di Maria into the hoardings?

I think we may find that our salary cap has shot up over the last two seasons and is taking a bigger slice of the Sky and other money

Would that be the Michael Duff who we bought for £30,000 !!

Jimmy McIlroy & Alex Elder cost £12,000 between them, Frank Casper & Peter Noble £70,000 for the pair.. and those four were our major signings from 1950 - 1973...the vast majority of players being developed at Gawthorpe...
It's interesting how often Everton appear in our major sales, from Tommy Lawton ( £6,500 ) in 1937, through Martin Dobson and Trevor Steven ( £300,000 ) each to Michael Kean ( £25,000,000 plus add-ons )...

The Sky money is significantly higher than it has ever been. The wages haven't increased in.proportion to that.

Di Maria spent his whole time in England looking largely ordinary.

I guess that's the point. Money doesn't guarantee anything.

Plus Colin Waldron (£30,000), Jim Thomson (£40,000) and Paul Fletcher (£60,000) I think.

I presume we bought Alan Stevenson too but I can't recall the fee.
