Championship clubs are at war with eachother over wage deferrals.

The Sun reports clubs want cash-strapped rivals given transfer bans for deferring player wages.

A handful of outfits who have paid on time think it is wrong others benefit from reduced payrolls.

And it could drag big-name loan stars — such as Swansea's Rhian Brewster of Liverpool — into the row.

One unhappy supremo said: “It is just kicking the can down the road. These clubs should be in for a transfer embargo.

“Why should those who balance the books and pay their players in full be punished? We won't sit back and watch these teams make signings."

It could come to a head when clubs try to hold on to loan players and out-of-contract stars — with some feeling it is unfair to let clubs who defer wages use those funds on strengthening their squad.
