Right the way throughout the English pyramid, clubs are paying players far more than they're actually worth. Although they don't earn anywhere near enough income to justify their wage bills, most clubs carry on paying wages they can't afford regardless.
I don't believe anything remotely similar happens in other countries' lower divisions, or at least not on the scale it happens here, but throughout the English pyramid we accept it as the norm. The more you think about it, the crazier it is.
