Looking online their wage bill was over ?5m in league one and

Has presumably gone up quite a bit since promotion. Given the crowds they get it must be heavily subsidised by the owner. ?5m is actually surprisingly high for a club like them in league 1. Comparable with ours in the champ a few years ago. Presumably though quite a bit less than ours now but then they probably run a smaller squad of "senior" players.
