But looking at some of the figures thrown about by these bosses in this quiz, it looks like some people really do believe that a few signings will solve all your problems… so can you name the top-spending half-century? 50 managers on the list, 12 minutes on the clock!

How well do you know the players who scored every Premier League player with between 80 and 100 goals? It’s harder than it sounds, trust us.
