2009/10 to 2017/18

Yeovil Town never reached the Premier League in the nine seasons from 2009/10 to 2017/18, spending one in the Championship and eight lower down. Their best finish was 24th in the Championship, in 2013/14. They didn’t win a major trophy. Over those nine summers they paid £0 in transfer fees and took in £0, a net spend of £0.

Yeovil Town's one season in the Championship, 2013/14, is a story the town will be telling for a long time. Promoted through the League One play-offs to reach the second tier for the first time in the club's history, they finished bottom with 37 points and went straight back down.

Their transfer business ran almost entirely on free transfers. Luke Ayling joined from Arsenal in 2010 without a fee and later moved on to Bristol City and Leeds. Kieran Agard and Ed Upson also passed through Huish Park in this period.

For eight of the nine seasons in this game, Yeovil sit outside the top two divisions. That makes them one of the longest shots on 115.football, and one of the most satisfying if it comes off. With £900m, a club this size can be transformed. Spend it well and the Glovers could go a lot further than one season in the Championship.
