Chelsea's five pricey bosses, Liverpool's gamble on Arne Slot... and Man United's mid-season swoop for Ruben Amorim - where does Thomas Frank rank in the Premier League's most expensive football managers?

Sometimes you have to blow the budget to get what you want.

We often see Premier League clubs fork out frankly laughable sums of money to acquire the world's best talent on the pitch. The amount of cash chucked about is growing by the year, and Liverpool's £116m bid to sign Florian Wirtz is the latest mammoth transfer fee to be thrown down in an era of excessive wealth in the game.

The same now goes for managers, too. Gone are the days when clubs would turn to assistant coaches to step up when the hot seat becomes available.
