    I think we're now much more disciplined when it comes to maintaining a wage structure, compared to 4-6 years ago. May mean we struggle to beat other teams to marquee signings, but also means we shouldn't be looking at administration any time soon - a timely reminder that money alone doesn't guarantee success, but misuse of it can pretty much guarantee disaster.

    Some very average and underperforming players earning quite high wages. No wonder they're in trouble.

    Don't forget Neil Lennon's wages

    I thought that was fairly standard for the championship. Rumour has it that we were paying our previous championship squad something similar, hence £18m loss...

    Notice no sign of Zach Clough's wages though....

    Can't believe Dobie is only on £4k a week

    I wonder if this has caused some friction in the Bolton dressing room - as if they needed any more problems to contend with.

    Dean Holdsworth's consortium has its work cut out for it, but you get the impression they'll do what's right for the club - good luck to them (just not this season!). Could be a long, hard slog and perhaps a few years before they're able to get back to the Championship if they go down.

    They will be paying Ben Amos over £2.5m if he sees out the rest of his contract
