Mourinho/Abramovich spent over 90m in one close season, bought the key members of the Chelsea squad, and straight away won the league.

Johnson 6m
Bridge 7m
Duff 17m
Cole 6m
Veron 15m
Mutu 15m
Crespo 17m
Smertin 4m
Makelele 16m
Half of those where on the fringes or left when Mourinho joined. The only Ranieri signing to have had an elongated presence was Joe Cole.


Blackburn Rovers title winning squad cost £20m.

That's mad looking back at it.
