When quizzed on the redundancies, the club's owner Steve Dale accused staff of "trying to extort money from the club".
He said: "If you read my past statements I indeed made clear that staff will be let go as we are overstaffed.
"That’s just commercial sense. What you should be asking is, these staff who are purporting to love the club, why didn’t they just go and find other jobs? But no, they are trying to extort money from the club."
