Players of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, Warri Wolves, have told supersport.com that they are owed wages from last year.
Supersport.com have been informed by some of the club's top players that they have not been paid salaries for the past two months (December and January). The new players, it was learned, are also affected in this development.
Also, the players claim that Warri Wolves owe them three match bonuses as well as 30 to 40 per cent of last season's signing-on fees.
"We went to the Super 4 competition in Abuja without being paid for the months of December and January. Normally this is not what we expect from a big club like Warri Wolves. Many of us couldn't give our families anything during the Christmas and New Year celebration and now in 2015 we are still experiencing the same thing," one of the influential players revealed in a telephone chat.
Another old player of the club disclosed: "Apart from the two months salaries they owe us, they have not paid us three match bonuses and we have also not beenn paid around 30 t0 40 per cent of our signing-on fees last season. Honestly this is affecting us and I wonder how they want us to concentrate when we have families to fend for."
Warri Wolves are preparing to face Burkina Faso Cup champions, RC Bobo-Dioulasso (RCB) in the first leg, preliminary round of the 2015 Caf Confederation Cup in Bobo-Dioulasso on the weekend of February 13, 14 and 15.
But the players are now saying the poor treatment meted out to them since late last year could affect their psyche going into that match billed for Stade Municipal in Burkina Faso's second largest city of Bobo-Dioulasso.
"We took part in the Super 4 because we don't want people to say that we are ungrateful players. But even if we honour this match in Burkina Faso, do they expect us to perform miracles under the present situation? I think this is unfair to us because we have kept to our own bargain of the deals we signed. Some of our teammates have left out of anger but we have stayed on hoping things will change. The earlier things change, the better," a third player lamented.
An official of Wolves said he is not in a position to react to the claims from the unnamed players, but promised that the club will make a formal reaction on the real state of affairs this week.
The Warri club are expected to play hosts to RCB in the second leg of the prelimiary round on the weekend of February 27, 28 and March 1.
