This week marks nine years since Liverpool were taken over by American consortium Fenway Sports Group.
The owners started their reign by declaring they would do "whatever is necessary" to guide the Reds back to past glories.
They went through some ups and downs early on, but the appointment of Jurgen Klopp in October 2015 proved a turning point, culminating in last season's Champions League final success.
Players have come and gone underway FSG, ultimately leaving Klopp with a star-studded side already eight points clear after a perfect start to the Premier League season.
But just how much have the group invested in the Reds squad in the form of transfers over the course of their nine years in charge?
The likes of Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling have left the club, replaced by new heroes Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane amongst others.
There have also been failures such as Andy Carroll and Christian Benteke who have come and gone.
There has certainly been no shortage of transfer activity at Anfield over the last nine years - but just how much FSG have invested to get Liverpool to their current standing back amongst world football's elite?
In terms of net spend, the Liverpool Echo calculate FSG have invested £205.43million, with an average spend of £22.83m per year.
They splashed the cash in Brendan Rodgers' last transfer window in 2014/15, spending over £100m, but have also given Klopp substantial backing.
Their two transfer windows as he rebuilt between 2017 and 2019 saw spending in excess of £300m, although the big-money sale of Coutinho and others saw them recoup nearly £200m in 2017/18.

my comment is not about who spent the most in what time....cause Liverpool from then coming up to the 2000s did already have a great squad winning alot of accolades and trophies....while man city was a mid league table team get relegated a couple times.....but my axe to grind is this how can man city spends and spend big to overall our squad and get in some great players....the fact of the matter is liverpoolians shouldn't be complaining because y'all spends too....and until y'all can debunk the fact that y'all spent alot too y'all should go sit your asses down...and stop be throwing shades at man city
shut it

bro you are a fool. I don't understand why you will just invite insults to your stupid dump head. city spent €903million in just 3years and you are comparing them to Liverpool spending after 10years which is €208millions. is like you cannot differentiate between €208millions and €903millions
