Gateshead players hope to get paid quickly

Gateshead players issued a statement hoping to receive unpaid September wages following the club's agreed sale to American investment firm Flacks Group.

Gateshead FC players have issued a public statement expressing hope that September's unpaid wages will be paid soon, following an agreement in principle for the club's sale to Flacks Group, an American investment company specialising in distressed assets. The proposed deal includes immediate payment of all outstanding wages, but as of Friday evening the squad had received nothing. The club is currently bottom of the National League after six consecutive defeats and recently sacked manager Lee Cattermole.
