does anyone know where to get the total transfer outlay of clubs since the Premier League started?

Here is a spreadsheet I compiled last year on another forum to prove a point to The Liverpool supporters there who were saying United purchased their success. After I posted it supporters of other teams asked me to include their teams hence Tottenham and Newcastle being there.
I have quickly taken it up to date. £0 fee is either a free or undisclosed. I used soccerbase the BBC and a Liverpool website for the figures.
I accept its inexact as true transfer figures are difficlt to come by but I assume the margin for error applies equally to all the teams.
<Edit> I can't attach the file. I will put it somewhere else and link to it in a few minutes. </Edit>

This would interest ‘The Ace1983’, wonder where he is..
Anyway, does anyone have any comments on this? Must say I was surprised with these totals, hopefully someone will tell me its wrong.
Liverpool the second biggest spender since the PL begun???
