Premier League spending in a single season has gone over £1bn for the first time this term after a lively finish to the January transfer window. Top flight clubs have spent £172.65m over the last month to go into 10 figures for the first time in the competitions 24-year history.Newcastle parted with the most cash, paying out £29m as they brought Andros Townsend, Jonjo Shelvey and Henri Saivet to St James Park. The Magpies outlay means they spent more than the 20 clubs in La Liga combined. Mersons transfer window grades Did your club get the players they needed? Stoke, meanwhile, paid the highest single fee as they recruited Porto midfielder Giannelli Imbula for £18.3m just minutes before the window closed on Monday night.Norwich made the most new signings with eight players coming in while Bournemouth, Sunderland, Watford and Newcastle all brought in five.Indeed, only Manchester United, Tottenham and bottom side Aston Villa failed to bring in any reinforcements in the biggest January window for five years. Giannelli Imbula cost Stoke a club record £18.3m from Porto Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: Premier League clubs have chosen to spend significantly in this years January transfer window.A total spend of (almost) £175m this window has contributed to Premier League clubs passing the £1billion threshold for spending in a season for the first time.Notably, this Januarys spending has been driven in large part by clubs in the bottom half of the table. Newcastle were Januarys biggest spenders as they brought in three players including Andros Townsend The new broadcast deal for Premier League clubs from next season and the threat of missing out through relegation is contributing to clubs investing in an attempt to stay in the league.Of the money spent in January, £110m went to overseas clubs compared with £65m 12 months ago.Around £40m was spent on Deadline Day itself and Newcastle spent more money in January than all of La Liga combined.Notably, the clubs in the Premier Leagues bottom six accounted for £90m - while the Championships leading sides were responsible for 70 per cent of the £35m spent at that level. Jordan Rhodes joined Middlesbrough from Blackburn as Championship clubs spent £35m Alexander Thorpe, senior manager in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, added: The prospect of increased revenue from the new broadcast deals starting next season has encouraged clubs at the lower end of the Premier League to invest this window.So too have we seen significant spending by those clubs aspiring to Premier League status with spending by Championship clubs totalling over £30m this January.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- A group of former Penn State Nittany Lions players released a statement Tuesday condemning Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levys comments that breaking Joe Paternos leg in 2006 was his proudest moment in college.We find the recent statement by DeAndre Levy about Coach Paterno appalling, along with the silence that has accompanied it, a statement from former Penn State players said in the Detroit Free Press. To joyfully and proudly take credit for hurting a defenseless human being is sad, in and of itself.But, to couple this gleeful statement with a willful ignorance of the facts and circumstances surrounding our coach speaks to a complete lack of character and moral integrity on the part of Mr. Levy. Mr. Levys comments reflect poorly on him, his university, the Detroit Lions and the NFL, and are certainly deserving of vocal condemnation.The letter, according to the Free Press, was signed by Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris and 20 other former Nittany Lions players.In an interview with Mens Journal last week, Levy called Paterno a dirtbag for his alleged role in the cover-up of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal.?Levy was involved in a play that broke Paternos leg during a 2006 gaame when Wisconsin played the Nittany Lions.ddddddddddddThat dirtbag, man, Levy told Mens Journal. Weve gotta stop prioritizing sports over humanity. Just because somebody can throw a football or coach football, theyre excluded from their wicked acts.Levy has been outspoken against domestic violence and sexual abuse, recently raising more than $30,000 to test neglected rape kits and hire investigators to try and find suspects based on the found evidence in Detroit.Levy has taken on a role of being a male voice fighting sexual assault -- something that has mattered to him as he has taken on more of a social activist role.Lions coach Jim Caldwell, who coached at Penn State under Paterno, has long considered the old Penn State coach a mentor and last week said his players can think what they want.Really, I think Ive gone on record many times about how I feel about Joe, Caldwell said. And in regard to our players making their statement about how they feel, Id be hypocritical to tell you anything other than the fact that they can express their opinion.We dont all necessarily agree with it.
