‘ What every Championship club spent this season ‘

The 72


As the Championship grows in popularity and quality, the amount of money being spent by second tier sides is increasing too.


And this season has perhaps seen the biggest amount of money spent by teams in the Championship. But how much has each team spent?

Here we have a look at the 2022/23 Championship spending table…


Cardiff City £665k. Burnley £38.2 million.

Dalman gets more than that as wage of Cardiff City and nearly a £1mill in interest of us, plus Ken Choo gets nearly that in wages, yet their main work is in London.




Details below, not including clubs who spent in January to strengthen their squads.





Burnley – £38.20million

Unsurprisingly, Burnley’s total expenditure in the transfer market this season eclipses that of any other side in the English Football League. The Clarets didn’t want to spend long in the Championship and it doesn’t look like they will.



Watford – £18.56million

Watford aren’t shy in spending a bit of money. They made some decent looking signings last month and have a couple of valuable assets in Ismaila Sarr and Joao Pedro, with things looking relatively bright at Vicarage Road right now.





Norwich City – £14.40million





Hull City – £11.50million

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali delivered on his promise of spending money last summer. Not all of it was spent well, it seems, but players like Oscar Estupinan have hit the ground running and Hull look a much better team than they were last time round.





Middlesbrough – £10.23million





Sunderland – £6.06million

Sunderland’s smart recruitment has impressed a lot of neutrals. They’re poaching younger players form Premier League clubs and giving them first-team exposure – the Black Cats are definitely on the up.





Sheffield United – £4.50million

Money well spent on Anel Ahmedhodzic.






Millwall – £2.50million

And money well spent on Zian Flemming.



Swansea City – £2.30million



Luton Town – £2.12million


Club record fee for Carlton Morris – one of the signings of the season so far.





Blackburn Rovers – £1.75million




Birmingham City – £1.75million



Permanent signings of Emmanuel Longelo and Tahith Chong are impressive, and show the direction that Blues want to head in going forward.

Huddersfield Town – £1.52million





West Brom – £1.35million

Focus on free agent signings last summer – Jed Wallace and John Swift were two impressive captures, Tom Rogic has also been a strong addition for the Baggies.





Cardiff City – £655k



Blackpool – £350k



Preston North End, Stoke City, Bristol City, Coventry City, QPR, Reading, Wigan Athletic, Rotherham United – £0, in January many of these clubs strengthened.

Nearly three years of hardly spending or strengthening or even getting a decent striker in has meant three years of struggling at some stages of the season

We are where we are due to lack of investment and a board not interested in our club, eventually we will go down

We have spent that money on poor players too

The Callum Robinson fee is officially 'undisclosed' but was widely reported as £1.5m when he signed

What's the wage bill?

Was just about to ask that. So have we been misled?

It was widely reported that Callan Robinson cost us £1.5million,Etete £500k,and Tanner so our spend was over £2million? That’s obviously without taking into account signing on and agents fees for 17 free transfers putting us well up the Championship highest spenders! The big spenders eg Burnley also received big money for players they sold whereas we didn’t receive any fees so surely net spent should be reported!

Just checked,Burnley received an income of £74.4 million from selling players so they made a profit of £38million on sales despite their record £38 million spend!
