After securing a mid-table finish in 2019/20, Walsall retained the majority of last season's squad during the summer, but still spent money on agents fees as then-manager Darrell Clarke added players to key positions.
The Saddlers spent a total of £31,214 for the period between 1st February 2020 and 1st February 2021, out of a league total of £1,069,115, down from the £47,122 spent during the previous twelve months.
Whilst the Covid-19 crisis saw club revenues dip, some still managed to splash the cash with teams such as Salford City spent £137,884 up from the £111,619 paid out during the previous period.
Forest Green Rovers were able to find £79,372, Leyton Orient spent £72,117, whilst Bradford City splashed out £71,369 over the twelve month spell.
