Top 100 Traders is an excellent addition.

Sums below the categories in Player Transfer History is also great.

I could sit for hours reading through Top 100 Traders and grinning to myself whilst thinking 'Did he really spend that much and have so little to show for it'

Ooooops .... I wrote 'did he ' ....... must change that to 'did he/she' ...... don't want Bazza to get upset

The top 10 sellers have little in the way of their trophy cases. The top 10 buys are littered with league championships, conference championships, and division championships.

Pretty clear to me.....

Not pretty clear to me .... for one obvious reason, The Top 10 Sellers & the Top 10 Buyers have Five Managers who are in both categories, therefore your Theory immediately contradicts itself.

For sellers I was actually using the net amount. In which case there is only 1 that is the same.

In which case, your Theory now becomes slightly surreal (and not very well thought-out).
If you look at the Top 10 Earners (i.e. Net Sellers, as you refer to it), you'll see that quite a large proportion of these are New/New-ish Managers.
For example ....there is one team who joined the game on 2012-11-28 ... how can a Team that joined in November 2012 have won any Trophies ?

Impossible.

Ok, how about this...the top 10 buyers still boast plenty of trophies. It is difficult to win and not stockpile some talent via spending. You are just cheap.

Maybe I'm cheap or maybe you're just trying to make cheap points (and failing miserably) ?

I think you are falsely trying to claim a correlation between spending money and winning trophies ....... the actual correlation, and one that even you will be forced to admit is ...... most of the Top 10 buyers are Teams that have been around since the start/almost since the start.

It seems pretty obvious that the longer a team has been established, the more chances that team has had to win Trophies ...... there is a stronger correlation to Age of Team vs Trophies rather than Amount Spent vs Trophies.

As someone once famously said ...... seems pretty clear to me

May I throw in what I was wondering about?

If you take a look at the buyers....In would expect more success from these teams as they have based on the hardware in the trophy room.
