Surely you don't believe double??
Possible, assuming there were other clubs in as well. Say the player was on £1000 per week at his L1 club, we offer to match it, then 2 L1 clubs come in and offer £1400 and £1700 pw respectively, then Mansfield come in and blow everyone away with £2000 pw contract, doubling what we offered.
If a few clubs are bidding for a player then it's easily possible that Mansfield would have to pay double his previous wage to land him ahead of clubs from a higher leagues.
