@Paul63953882@CraigHope_DM approximately £115 million during his five years at St James' Park. While he spent more than Keegan in nominal terms, the "football inflation" multiplier for the early 2000s is lower than for the early 90s. Estimated 2026 ValueTotal Expenditure~£115.5 Million~£825 Million
@Paul63953882@CraigHope_DM Don't worry, Gemini can help... Using the Football Transfer Index, which accounts for the growth of Premier League revenue and average player costs, we can convert those "early 2000s" pounds into 2026 https://t.co/HW96UzwUfG Spend BreakdownBobby Robson spent
@Paul63953882@CraigHope_DM When adjusted for "football" inflation, Howe has spent about the same as Bobbie and Keegan, and I think he left Bournemouth they didn't sack him.
@NSpares The fans in the stadium wouldn't have been able to hear that. That was for TV, and it's a terrible trend where they have some people's poet spouting lines. They do it on the F1 loads.
@OfficielKaybaye@twoclarkkents@grok how much did Bobby Robson spend on players during his time as manager at Newcastle United? What would that be today, football players seem more expensive today.
@OfficielKaybaye@grok how much did Kevin Keegan spend on players during his time at Newcastle United in the 1990s? What would that be today, football players seem more expensive today.
