Bankrolled by billionaire owners, Premier League clubs have been throwing money at new players in the hope it translates to results on the pitch.
Using data from Transfermarkt, we've looked at the net spend per trophy won for the 'big six' Premier League clubs since the summer of 2012.
Note: we've not included the Community Shield as a major trophy. Wipe those tears from your eyes, Pep and Jose.
The figures show that Chelsea are getting a good return on their investments, financed by almost £1billion worth of sales but Manchester United have wasted a lot of money.
While Manchester City have the biggest net spend of any Premier League side over the last decade, they do have at least have 11 major trophies to show for it.
Trophyless Tottenham are rooted to the bottom while Liverpool have surprisingly only won three major honours over the last decade, though that can soon change. Arsenal's four FA Cup triumphs have them placed somewhere in the middle.
