[Father Dougal]

Of the list of player Father Dougal gave, here's what we paid and then had for them (according to several sources, not Transfermarkt):

Kevin McNaughton - £0 / £0
Roger Johnson - £250k / £5m
Steven Thompson - £250k / £small
Jay Bothroyd - £300k / £0
Chris Burke - £0 / £0
Michael Chopra - £500k / £5m, bought back for £4m, sold again for £1.5m
David Marshall - £750k / £0
Ross McCormack - £120k / £350k
Stephen McPhail - £0 / £0
Peter Whittingham - £350k / £0

I make that around £6.5m spent and around £12m recouped.

Missing from the "made a profit from them" list are:

Glenn Loovens - £2.25m
Steven McLean - £0.75m

This adds up to a profit (excluding small fees for others) of around £8.5m.

We also received big fees for Cameron Jerome, Chris Gunter and Aaron Ramsey and, while Jones would have played a part in their development, they don't come under the category of signings that Jones made on which we made a profit. They certainly wouldn't bump the figure up to £28m.

There are probably some figures there that are debatable, depending on your source.

I thought how have you made that 6.5 mil then realised you included buying chopra back for 4 mil. I think we can be sure money wouldn't have changed hands to buy him back so in terms of building the side he bought all those for 2.5 million plus developed young players hugely.

There really is rose tinted specs with Jones.

The shoestring budget myth will forever live on.🤣
