25 million this season. After many seasons of substantially less. FFP rules also relaxed this season that I'm sure our chairman and accountants took into consideration. We're essentially debt free now. There's some numbers from our accounts somewhere on a Derby forum, but we're not going to miss payments or forget to pay our playing staff any time soon...
The transfer fee for Bradley Johnson (and possibly Butterfield) was covered, in part, by a substantial insurance payout after injuries on the first day of the season to Hughes and Bryson. We were kind of put in a difficult situation when two of our best midfielders were taken out for the majority of the season. Unfortunately, Clement didn't have much faith in our impressive youth team and thought he should splash the cash. Johnson started well, was awful for the last few months and then had a good game or two before getting injured himself.

Come again? You've spent £25m+ this season, who else in the division has spent anywhere near that amount?
And you lost £10m last season, just within FFP rules. A budget running a £10m loss is hardly sustainable at this level, no matter how rich your owner. Not exactly sure how you're going to work around FFP either after your transfer binge, hire the same accountant as Leicester?
