Many will echo the thoughts of Gillingham chairman Paul Scally that the amount spent in the January transfer window was disgusting.
It seems only yesterday that some Premier League clubs were furloughing staff, others saying they needed to join a Super League to stay profitable, most claiming they couldn’t help struggling EFL clubs because they were skint.
And then they collectively splash £295 million in one month, which is the second-highest January transfer window spend ever. But with stadiums full again and the TV deals growing even more lucrative it was always going to be the case. Especially when Newcastle’s new Saudi wealth accounts for almost a third of that spending.
