Four clubs have been named as having to ask the PFA to cover players' wages this month.
A Mail On Sunday report says that the PFA handed over around £300,000 in total to Stockport, Bournemouth, Chester, and Darlington to help to cover this month's wages. The paper says that six other clubs, including Southend, have asked for the PFA's help in the last year.
Bournemouth themselves face a further winding up order after the local press found out yesterday that a failed attempt to bring Twenty20 cricket to their Dean Court home had left them with an unpaid £10,000 debt that was now facing court in mid-May.
Gillingham chairman Paul Scally told the paper: "Being docked points is not enough. If a club go into administration, they should be automatically relegated a division." Scally's club, who paid £440,000 in interest on their sizable debt last season, was also listed as receiving PFA help in the past year.
