Weston in favour of salary cap
The Saddlers are still waiting on seven players' decisions over new contracts and Weston believes a salary cap would create a more level playing field.
"It was only a matter of time before the recession caught up with football," he told the Express and Star. "Some clubs defy economics with the amount of money they outlay, in comparison to what they bring in, and there has been talk of a salary cap.
"I've heard things on the radio and in certain circles. It's something I could see happening, because football clubs could drive themselves into oblivion. It's one of the things which could put everything on an even keel.
It would be interesting to see what club level they would cap the salary.
I would imagine at a reasonable level in the lower leagues.
"Players don't hold the cards anymore, if it's the route the clubs want to go down there is very little the players' union can do.
"It wouldn't be up to the players if you are outside the top two divisions - you have to take what you can get unless you are at a club with strong financial backing."
