Quite a simplistic look, but if we take transfer money in/out since the 21/22 season
Hull In: £66.25m
Out: £55.38m
Net: +£10.88m
Rovers In: £57.99m
Out: £12.40m
Net: +45.59m
Percentage spend of monies received
Hull: 83%
Rovers: 21%
So, I wouldn't say the two clubs situations are in any way similar. I don't think any Rovers fan in their right mind would expect the owners to re-invest 83% of incoming transfer fees, but there's a huge disparity between the two.
Furthermore, according to figures provided by Kieran Maguire for the 23/24 season, Hull were losing £507k per week vs Rovers £375k per week. A difference of approx £6.75m per year.
Oh, and, those figures don't take into account the cost of loans. Hull have loaned players such as;
-Louie Barry
- Fabio Carvalho
- Ryan Giles
- Zaroury (Burnley)
- Liam Delap
- Joe Gelhardt
We've loaned;
- Dion Sanderson
- Cauley Woodrow
- Amario
- Ben Chrisene
- Koumetio
- Ayari
