Interviewed Mick McCarthey yesterday.
He was explaining how hard it is to be a manager on a low budget hence his disappointment with Ipswich fans being him.
Anyway he said you only have to look at the premiership and the table positions are basically as per amount spent.
He says the championship is the same aside from 2 clubs millwall and Cardiff who both have low spends compared to others but have managed to get up in the top positions.
What is our spend this season? Anyone know?

I think its roughly 5m mate.
Figures are all over the shop but if you go with Madine at 2m I think the 5m is accurate.

Wolves have spent that on a ballboy.

Mick McCarthy is spot on. Derby must've spent a fortune over the last few years too.

8m! I'm sure that's probably all we've paid for our whole 1st team!

I think there are a few teams who must be sweating on promotion this time with money spent ,teams that have constantly spent big over a number of years must breach that FFP at some point?

Not the most accurate because many transfer fees are left undisclised these days. but according to transfermrkt just short of 19m. Doesn't include loan fees either.
