Accrington Late With Wages

Accrington have failed to pay their players on time, according to their local press.

The Football League's bottom club is two weeks late paying players and staff, with MD Rob Heys telling the Lancashire Telegraph the outstanding sums would be paid before Saturday's game with Barnet:

“We have had a cashflow problem this month with not enough money coming in for what is going out. Wages have been delayed and it has affected everyone – staff, manager and players.

“Everyone has been fantastic about it but it has been two weeks now and it is unacceptable, we know that."

Heys defended the high profile signings of strikers Francis Jeffers and James Beattie, saying the pair were only 'playing for expenses' and that the club was up to date with payments to the taxman:

“We’ve got a lot of directors on the board, certain people are able to find money at different times and they have been able to find the money now.“Half of it will be paid today and the rest will be paid by Saturday. We are confident that with money due to come in we will be okay for next month and after that."
