Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan says a salary cap has been discussed among Premier League clubs.
In an interview for a BBC documentary presented by Apprentice star and former Tottenham owner Lord Sugar, Whelan claims he and some of the Premier League's other 'smaller' clubs have opened discussions about reaching an informal agreement among themselves which would mean each club being limited to paying only two of their players more than £20,000 a week.
Whelan says: "Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, Wolves all got together. The first thing you talk about is wages. We thought between us we should impose a salary cap. We said that we clubs within the smaller section of the Premier League, we shouldn't pay any more than two players above £20,000 a week. It sounded to me very sensible.
"Throughout all four leagues we have got to impose a salary scheme where each league or each club pay so much in wages."
