It's the difference between:
a) There is a Wage Cap
and
b) As individual contract negotiations occur there is an internal set of guidelines that defines an informal threshhold level which would obviate any possible opportunity to pay someone above a level that might prove detrimental to the long-term interests of NCFC.

well then yes, its 'b'! the club limit what wage can be earned (basic salary) though i guess bonuses are more flexible
