While the majority of the professional players back this move, the AFE continues negotiating with the football federation (RFEF) and the professional football league (LFP) in a bid to find a solution.
If no solution is found, the AFE will order a strike during the weekend of April 16-18. It will be the fifth time that footballers called for strike in Spain, with the last strike call in 1997 ended in an agreement at the last moment.
Our local Spanish team, not in La Liga, is always compromised by accusations of not paying the players. Last year the Supporters paid the players wages for a month, as a loan, but the Directors paid themselves first and there was no money for the players. And then said the money was a gift and did not have to be paid back!
Since then the directors have resigned leaving debts (some of which, allegedly, are not the clubs, but the Directors) and the club is about to go under.
Shades of Chester City here.
