There's varying monies spent by clubs as said by Edge above.
Without doubt though, last years top teams all have considerable budgets:
Ourselves, Runcorn and Atherton have sizeable followings to fund a squad, and Bootle have the money of their tenants City of Liverpool.
Andy - I think that some caution needs to be made when making off the cuff remarks about teams having 'considerable' budgets.
What do you term as being 'considerable'?
As a member, you should have access to our very detailed accounts - which I can tell you provide a significantly greater level of detail than many clubs several leagues higher than we operate at.
As a fans run club, that is only right and proper. Our aim is to be as open and transparent as we can.
But the detailed accounts we provide ought to enable you to gain a good idea as to the renumeration (and it is that - not wages) that we give to our players and management team.
I can assure you that they do it for the love of the game, not the money.
As does everyone at our level.
And you may be interested to know that they guy who did most for our club for sod all re-numeration - and I mean that - was a certain Ian Street.
