Burnley chief Brendan Flood insists they're determined to stick with their modest wage cap.

A wage cap of £15,000 a week is already in place, and Flood only envisages that rising by another £10,000 even if the Clarets were to retain their Premier League status.

"I think £20million is probably the maximum we'll ever go to. If we're in over the next two or three years I think that's where we would stop," Flood told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"You have to have a bit of wage pressure to have a competitive side. You've got to have enough high quality players to get there. But we do want to keep a hold on wages, within reason, and just keep the message in the club and not necessarily do what every other Premier League club does, and sometimes does it badly.

"When you stand back and look at it there are lot of squad players in the top six clubs who aren't getting a game and you think 'if we had him, he'd be good for us', and those sort of lads probably aren't getting paid £20,000 a week; they're probably getting between £5,000 and £10,000 a week.

"We're talking per week, that's half a million pound a year, so in everyday terms it's a huge amount of money, but the levels we want to pay will be around there."
