and live on Freeview channel 276
It will come as no surprise to see the Owls as the biggest spenders in League One given the fact that there may be payments from their time in the Championship involved as well as the sheer number of new faces brought in, though Ipswich Town are not too far behind them despite them being a third tier side over the whole course of the timeframe.
Wednesday spent £796,224 in the aforementioned period, and while Ipswich spent £779,739 – the next highest amount after the Owls – they are both substantially higher than third and fourth placed Wigan Athletic (£355,774) and Sunderland (£310,244).
