Claims That Wrexham Are Paying £6,000 A Week To A Keeper

There's a claim that National League Wrexham are paying one of their goalkeepers £6,000. 

If correct, then that equates to around £250,000 for the season. Or around half of Hereford manager Josh Gowling's budget for all his players for the season.

The claim came from York manager John Askey.

“There’s a lot of big clubs in this league, Wrexham being the biggest," said Askey as reported by The Press.

"They’ve just put a goalkeeper on £6,000 per week, so that tells you about the sort of money that they are spending.

“Then you’ve got Notts County, Southend, Scunthorpe and Oldham. They’re all big, old lower league clubs, so it’s going to be tough."
