The Football League are considering extending the wage capping regulations across all three divisions next season.
Currently only League Two sides are forced to comply with the wage capping regulations, limiting to 60% of turnover the amount that can be spent on players over the age of 20. Teams in the Championship and League One are monitored but not penalised in the way the likes of Morecambe have been, with a transfer embargo, for exceeding the regulations.
Shrewsbury have this afternoon halted contract talks on new deals pending a definite announcement, with boss Paul Simpson telling their official site: "It's nothing against the players it's merely a case of having a better idea of where we are going to be at the end of the season.
"There are talks going on at the moment between all the Football League Chairman to try and put some sort of system in place for budgeting at all of the Football League clubs. At this moment in time it's very early in discussions and we don't know whether these rules are going to come into place and if they do what they will mean to us.
"This means that we don't really know what our budget will be for next year and until we get an idea of this we can't go committing ourselves to more contracts."
