Tranmere’s total wage bill for 11-12 was £2.2m; an educated guess would suggest the majority of that is on the playing budget rather than the 61 mainly part-time staff (stewards, ticket office staff, community coaches etc). Brentford’s football wages for 11-12 was £4.9m. It’s hard to see how either of them have slashed their wage bill dramatically from one season to the next, looking at the players in/out over the course of the year.
These are easily verifiable figures just by doing a simple Google search. How on earth does one arrive at £800k and £2.5m-£3m respectively? I do not see any evidence for that whatsoever.
