tmesis RG30 Mark Bowen said we had a top 3 wage bill budget on BBC Radio Berkshire earlier this season.
That probably counts the academy as well though, as I doubt we have many players on big money.
With a (first team) squad as small as ours, we'd need to be paying well over the odds to have a high first team wage bill.
Big money for the Championship, absolutely not.
Big money for L1?
Most of Holmes, Yiadom, Wing, Smith, Knibbs, Button absolutely, maybe Azeez, maybe Mukairu. NGW would have been. McIntyre would have been.
Ejaria would have been on fairly good Championship money and we'd have had to cover a lot of it to terminate the contract. Carroll probably got a bit of a pay off.
Our first team squad also isn't small. It's about 22 now, and it was about 27 at the start of the season.
