Dolphins Plan To Settle Outstanding Liabilities Owed Players With Transfer Funds
Published: April 17, 2014
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the players of Dolphins of Port Harcourt have put on hold their planned strike over unpaid win and sign - on bonuses.
The management of the Glo Premier League side has promised to offset some of the outstanding liabilities before the end of next week.
It has been claimed by the higher - ups at the 2011 Nigeria champions that the funds from the sale of one of their players to a European club last summer will be used to pay the players.
“We have still not been paid but they promised to do something about it. I think they intend to pay a certain percentage from money received from one of the players that was sold,” one of the senior players in the Dolphins squad told allnigeriasoccer.com.
It should be noted that Dolphins owe the players accrued sign - on bonus plus an additional seven - month win bonus which they have failed to remit since the end of last season.
And this season, which began two months ago they have two outstanding win bonus yet to be settled.
Last summer, Dolphins disposed Chidi Osuchukwu to Sporting Braga for a fee of around $500,000 but it is unclear if their bank account was credited with the exact sum as controversial Germany based agent Emeka Ezeala and his partner in crime John Obuh planned to pocket $350,000 of the sum.
Also, ex Nigeria Under 20 skipper Abdul Ajagun was bought by Panathinaikos for 200,000 euros.
