Rafa Benitez made 64 signings as Liverpool boss - and he had to sell almost as many.
The Spaniard's time in charge at Anfield was a successful one with four trophies added to the club's cabinet, including the most memorable Champions League triumph in history.
Benitez also won the UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and a Community Shield but missed out on the Premier League title current manager Jurgen Klopp is about to deliver.
The Reds were often outdone by their domestic rivals when it came to recruitment - a theme which is now very much a thing of the past - but it cost Benitez that all-important league title.
During his six years in charge there were constant changes to the playing staff in pursuit of glory, and many of the signings didn't pay off.
That's reflected in the number of sales Benitez made while Liverpool manager with 41 players moved on. Here's what's happened to every single one of them:
Danny Murphy (Charlton): Murphy's success wasn't confined to Anfield with the midfielder going on to represent a number of clubs with distinction.
His most notable achievement after leaving Liverpool was helping Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final. He now spends his weekends sat alongside Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on Match of the Day.
Michael Owen (Real Madrid): Michael Owen's move to Real Madrid proved to be a mistake and he never really rebuilt his reputation once he returned to England.
Like Murphy, Owen is now a regular on our TV screens working on BT Sport's Champions League coverage.
El Hadji Diouf (Bolton): Diouf isn't particularly popular at Anfield, primarily because of his conduct with the Reds. He also managed to irk several of his team-mates and continues to feud with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard to this very day.
Alou Diarra (Lens): Diarra, a France international in his prime, returned to England with West Ham and Charlton. He is now earning his coaching stripes with Lens, whom he joined from Liverpool in 2005.
He never made a Premier League appearance for Liverpool, but he managed to correct that in his two seasons with West Ham.
Antonio Nunez (Celta Vigo): Nunez joined Liverpool from Real Madrid but never quite lived up to his billing. He only recently retired from football after seeing out his playing days with Recreativo de Huelva in Spain's lower leagues.
Milan Baros (Aston Villa): Baros is still going at the grand old age of 38. He's returned to Banik Ostrava, where he began his career, for his fourth stint.
Zak Whitbread (Millwall): Whitbread got to enjoy one of the finest nights in Liverpool's history as a non-playing member of the squad which came from three goals down to beat AC Milan in Istanbul.
He only pulled on Liverpool's colours seven times at senior level and spent much of his career in the lower leagues. His last stint, in League One with Shrewsbury Town, ended almost four years ago.
Bruno Cheyrou (Rennes): Billed as the 'next Zidane' Cheyrou didn't hit anything like the heights expected of him at Anfield.
Frenchman Cheyrou was signed by compatriot Gerard Houllier in 2002 but Benitez shifted him on four years later. He's now working as the sporting director of PSG women.
David Raven (Carlisle): Local lad Raven only featured three times for the first team before being sold to Carlisle.
“There was a point when Steve Finnan was injured and Josemi was the replacement,” he told Planet Football. “I was third choice and Josemi wasn't up to much, and I remember the reserves coach Alex Miller was telling me to push myself, saying there was an 'unbelievable chance' for me to get in the team.
“I pushed myself as hard as I could and it didn't quite happen. It was at that point I thought it was time to move on."
He's still playing competitively for Warrington Town in the Northern Premier League.
Fernando Morientes (Valencia): Spain international Morientes wasn't anything like as prolific for the Reds as he was with Real Madrid. In his only full season at the club Morientes scored 10 times in 46 matches.
Since retiring from football Morientes has moved into coaching and spent a couple of years teaching Real Madrid's youngsters.
Antonio Barragan (Deportivo La Coruna): Barragan only made one appearance for Liverpool, as a late substitute in a Champions League win over CSKA Sofia in 2005.
Barragan tried his luck in the Premier League a few years ago with Middlesbrough but suffered relegation and was immediately sold. He's enjoyed a decent career back in Spain and still turns out for La Liga club Real Betis.
Djimi Traore (Charlton): Champions League winner Traore finished his career with MLS club Seattle Sounders in 2014. He's since started coaching at Seattle and is now assistant manager to Brian Schmetzer.
Neil Mellor (Preston): Mellor, who's famous for his stunning stoppage time winner against Arsenal in 2004, starred in the Championship for Preston and Sheffield Wednesday after leaving Anfield.
He's now regularly heard on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday commentating on EFL games around the country.
Jan Kromkamp (PSV): Kromkamp's time at Anfield was rather forgettable but he always speaks fondly of the club. "The popularity of the club, worldwide, is truly unprecedented,” he told reporters in Holland recently.
The former right-back is about to set foot on the coaching ladder with his first senior role as manager of Dutch minnows CSV Apeldoorn. He will officially take charge next season.
Darren Potter (Wolves): Potter is another who enjoyed success in the EFL, mainly with MK Dons where he spent six years of his career.
The midfielder is now back in Liverpool and bidding to help Tranmere avoid relegation from League One.
Steven Warnock (Blackburn): Warnock is newly retired and has been doing the TV rounds over the last couple of years. He started out giving his opinions on EFL matters on QUEST but has recently graduated to Premier League duties.
Florent Sinama-Pongolle (Recreativo de Huelva): Another Houllier signing who failed to impress under Benitez. Sinama-Pongolle was sold after just nine goals in 65 matches for Liverpool. His career has taken him to Spain, Portugal, Russia, Dundee and Thailand since.
Danny O'Donnell (Crewe): O'Donnell's Liverpool career was short-lived but he's remained in the game and now works for Tranmere as their international technical director.
Luis Garcia (Atletico Madrid): The Spaniard's contribution to Liverpool's 2005 Champions League win will never be forgotten.
He closed out his career by globe-trotting to play in India and Australia. Garcia is another who Reds fans get to see a lot of on their TV screens.
Djibril Cisse (Marseille): Cisse's extrovert hairstyles suggested he wouldn't conform to the norm in his post-playing days. The Frenchman is now an international DJ.
Cisse wasn't a guaranteed pick under Benitez in his first season but came into his own in his second. A brace to clinch victory over CSKA Moscow and the European Super Cup were among many highs of Cisse's 19-goal haul in 2005/06.
Craig Bellamy (West Ham): Bellamy spent one season at Liverpool and played his part in an iconic night at the Camp Nou, though it was his actions before the Reds beat Barcelona which cost him his Anfield career.
The Welshman attacked teammate John Arne Riise with a golf club after a night of team bonding and never managed to live it down.
He's since owned up to his mistake and now coaches youngsters at boyhood club Cardiff City.
Mark Gonzalez (Real Betis): Chile winger Gonzalez spent a couple of seasons with Liverpool, but he left midway through to join Real Sociedad on loan.
Gonzalez was still turning out for Magallanes in his homeland until recently.
Gabriel Paletta (Boca Juniors): Signing Paletta was a mistake Benitez owned up to after 12 months with the Argentina-born defender sent packing. Paletta is now playing his football in Italy's Serie C with Monza.
Chris Kirkland (Wigan): Kirkland has bravely opened up on his mental health demons after hanging up his gloves. The ex-goalkeeper has found work on television since leaving Bury in 2016.
Momo Sissoko (Juventus): Sissoko called time on his career in January. "If I am here this evening, it is to tell you that it is the end for me," Sissoko said. “I stop my career. It is a really difficult decision to take and to say."
John Arne Riise (Roma): Riise, who's famous for his thunderous left peg, is another of Benitez's Champions League heroes who has recently retired.
Since retiring Riise has been keeping himself busy. He's a Liverpool ambassador, a pundit, an adviser and plans to become a manager.
“The main target for me now is to become a coach,” he says. “I'm trying to jump into that now and take my chance.”
Anthony Le Tallec (Le Mans): Le Tallec joined Liverpool as a 17-year-old and spent seven years at the club, despite making just 32 appearances in that time.
He played for a whole host of clubs in his native France before joining current team Astra Giurgiu, which is one of Romania's leading outfits.
Peter Crouch (Portsmouth): The Kop rose to many a spectacular strike from Crouch and his job is now to wax lyrical about this current crop of Liverpool stars.
The former striker is one of BT Sport's pundits and also has his own podcast called That Peter Crouch Podcast.
Danny Guthrie (Newcastle): Guthrie, now 32, is plying his trade in League Two with Walsall. The midfielder has been blighted by injuries but has managed to play 28 times for the Saddlers this season.
And Guthrie's still got it according to his manager. Darrell Clarke said: “He's a proper intelligent footballer that sees the areas on the pitch to play the ball and hurt teams.”
Scott Carson (West Brom): Carson has actually been part of the Manchester City squad bidding to stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League this season.
The former England 'keeper is third choice at The Etihad behind Ederson and Claudio Bravo after deciding to leave Derby County last summer.
Steve Finnan (Espanyol): Finnan went completely off the radar until only a few years ago when the Echo tracked him down.
The dependable defender is now running a property business with his brother in London.
He said: “I loved training and playing, and I was privileged to play for a great club like Liverpool and win some big trophies, but I never wanted to stay in football once I had retired.”
Robbie Keane (Tottenham): Keane also tried his hand at punditry before moving back into coaching. He was unveiled as Middlesbrough's assistant manager at the start of the season, working alongside his former Leeds team-mate Jonathan Woodgate.
Jack Hobbs (Leicester): Hobbs spent a number of years excelling in the Championship with the likes of Leicester and Nottingham Forest, though he has been plagued by injuries in recent times.
The centre-back is now at Bolton Wanderers and could be playing in League Two next season with the Trotters certain to be relegated.
Paul Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Nippy winger Anderson is another EFL journeyman who has made his way from the Championship to League Two Northampton.
Sebastian Leto (Panathinaikos): Since leaving Liverpool Leto has played in Greece, Italy, Argentina, and the United Arab Emirates.
A few years ago Leto suffered a freak head injury after dropping a piece of gym equipment when training. He made a full recovery and was able to resume his playing career.
Alvaro Arbeloa (Real Madrid): Spanish full-back Arbeloa retired three years ago with his final season coming at West Ham.
He made more than 300 senior appearances for Real Madrid, Deportivo, Liverpool and West Ham, while he also received 56 caps for Spain.
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid): Alonso moved to Madrid a matter of days after Arbeloa but his exit was much tougher to take. Liverpool weren't able to replace the midfielder adequately and the team's success dwindled as a result.
Alonso is now retired and started coaching Real Sociedad's B team at the start of the season.
Andrea Dossena (Napoli): Dossena scored both of his Liverpool goals in the space of five days Kopites will never forget.
The first sealed a 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League and the second finished off Liverpool's famous 4-1 victory at Old Trafford.
Liverpool aren't the only English club Dossena played for as he was part of the costly project which plunged Leyton Orient into financial ruin.
Andriy Voronin (Dinamo Moscow): The only memorable thing about Voronin's stint at Liverpool was his rant about life in England.
He now plays a unique role within Ukraine's national team set-up which sees him assist manager Andriy Shevchenko with squad selection.
Nikolay Mihaylov (Twente): Trouser-wearing goalkeeper Mihaylov is still going. He plays for Levski Sofia and remains a regular pick for Bulgaria's national team.
Mikel San Jose (Athletic Bilbao): San Jose developed into a fine player after leaving Liverpool and even racked up seven appearances for Spain.
He's spent the rest of his career with Bilbao and continues to turn out for the Basque club.
Dozens of players either left Liverpool or were released at the end of their contracts during Benitez's reign: Markus Babbel, Stephane Henchoz, Vladimir Smicer, Mauricio Pellegrino, Igor Biscan, Jon Otsemobor, Mark Smyth, Paul Harrison, Richie Partridge, Patrice Luzi, Gregory Vignal, John Welsh (exchange), Josemi Rey (exchange), Robbie Foy, Didi Hamann, Carl Medjani, Salif Diao, Bolo Zenden, Jerzy Dudek, Robbie Fowler, James Smith, Lee Peltier, Harry Kewell, Sami Hyypia, Astrit Ajdarevic, Jermaine Pennant, Miki Roque, Fábio Aurélio, David Martin.
