Bolton now signed Marcus Maddison. They’ve pulled out some impressive signings today... Would love to know their salary total!

I guess they're factoring in that if Covid recedes and they get promoted they'll have crowds of 14k or so.
A gamble 'though.

Or those that took the club on have deep pockets compared to most of L2?

True. The main man's worth £45m.
I'd still guess he's splashing out with a view to getting a return later.

Promotion is the return he wants, It's a big club in L2, But we all know football doesn't often work that way.

Bolton are in L2! It's crazy they can keep signing players if they are over the L2 cap. I understand about honouring existing contracts if they are relegated but not still being able to overspend relative to L2

Crawley, Port Vale and Barrow are breaking the new squad size rules. Hard to believe several of the big boys aren’t breaking the salary cap. Be interesting to see how many clubs get docked points at the end of this season.

None will, let’s be honest!

I thought that the PFA's legal challenge to the new Salary Cap meant that the new rules weren't being enforced?
