Anyone shed any more light on what is being discussed?

Shrewsbury Town delay talks on contracts: Town have shelved negotiations with their out-of-contract players as the Football League ponders introducing new wage regulations for next season.

The decision means Town risk losing players over the age of 24 whose deals expire in the summer – including skipper Ben Davies – for nothing under the Bosman Ruling.

“We are going to leave it until the end of the season and talk to the players then,” said manager Paul Simpson, who confirmed negotiations could be brought forward if the new wage regulations are agreed before the end of the campaign.

He revealed there had been early discussions but the club had decided to wait until the new rules determining what they could spend on wages had been finalised.

Our wage cap for next season will be well down, but on the bright side, them there poncy footballers should be happy getting paid anythink for dooing summat they love, in todays climate, i will go to the foot of our stairs.....an all that!!

seriously, , this is a funny old year in all walks of life, stability seems to be a key thing at the moment, the shrimps long term future seems to be being looked after well...

So batten down the hatches, tin hats at the ready.. and lets hope for a good summer.

Next season is going to be tough for a lot of teams - while I don't expect attendances to drop too much, sponsorship revenue is going to be hard to come by as companies won't have much spare cash. "Corporate" entertainment at matches is also likely to be down. Any team with outstanding loans that need re-negotiated won't find it easy.
