It would seem to be for Manchester City, who have won two league titles in the last three years, while spending the most money per point.
Other big spenders, such as Chelsea and Liverpool also feature, while this doesn’t take in to account the most recent summer and Manchester United’s mega splurge during it.
Here’s the list of the clubs who have been in the Premier League for the full six seasons studied.
11) Everton, -£78,634.32 spent per point
Everton’s ability to sign players like Seamus Coleman for £60,000 is part of the reason that they are able to actually make £70,000 for every point they have earned since 2008.
10) Tottenham, -£5,508.82 spent per point
The mega transfer fees received for players such as Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have allowed Spurs to also turn a profit for every point.
9) Fulham, £85,243.76 spent per point
Despite spending a net of over £20 million pound during the six years of the study, Fulham have now been relegated.
8) Arsenal, £96,629.01 spent per point
Similarly to their North London rivals, the Gunners finances have been helped by the sales of big name players. Robin Van Persie and Samir Nasri are two examples.
7) Sunderland, £201,917.78 spent per point
Not accumulating many points in constant relegation battles, as well as spending big on players like Steven Fletcher won’t have helped the Black Cats’ net spend.
6) Liverpool, £222,827.35 spent per point
Fernando Torres’ mammoth transfer fee could have helped the Reds, but they immediately splurged it on a number of players including Andy Carroll.
5) Manchester United, £281,118.18 spent per point
Marouane Fellaini’s big money transfer will have put a dent in the Old Trafford coffers.
4) Aston Villa, £297,589.63 spent per point
Spending big on Darren Bent and then Christian Benteke followed by relegation scraps hasn’t helped Villa.
3) Stoke, £328,360.59 spent per point
Tony Pulis may be lauded for making Stoke a regular Premier League side, but he spent a lot doing it.
2) Chelsea, £598, 079.79 spent per point
Spending £50 million on flop Fernando Torres and then rectifying it by buying even more pretty much sums up the Blues’ transfer strategy.
1) Manchester City, £1,095,897.01 spent per point
They may have won two titles in three years, but it has cost the Citizens a lot of money since their takeover by Abu Dhabi United Group.
