Wigan Chairman calls for Salary Cap

<p class="big">Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has called on The Premiership to introduce a salary cap. </p>

Whelan believes unless a salary cap is introduced England's top-flight will be ruined and that moneybags Chelsea will kill off all competition. </p>

The JJB owner helped oversee a salary cap brought into Rugby League and he feels the same is needed in football. </p>

&quot;There's only one way to guarantee healthy competition in the Premiership, and that's why I'm calling for a salary cap to be enforced in the top flight,&quot; said Whelan. </p>

&quot;I'm not knocking Chelsea, but if they continue dominating and win the title for another three or four years, then the entire Premier League runs the risk of being ruined. </p>

&quot;Too many clubs would be left simply making up the numbers by a one-club monopoly. Rugby league has seen the benefits of enforcing a salary cap and soccer should take note. </p>

&quot;It makes sense to see a £25million or £30million limit on [Premiership] wages [per club] in order to guarantee healthy competition.&quot; </p>

The Wigan supremo revealed that his idea has the support of many other chairmen in The Premiership. </p>

&quot;I know for a fact that the chairmen of Blackburn Rovers, West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland and Charlton Athletic - along with many more - support my views, so let's see it happen sooner rather than later,&quot; added Whelan. </p>
