Philadelphia Fury players yet to be paid
Philadelphia Fury players have not received their paychecks yet, per sources with direct knowledge of the situation. The players were expecting to be paid on Aug. 31, and it is not clear when they will receive them.
The Philadelphia Fury are a founding member of the new Division III-sanctioned National Independent Soccer Association (NISA). Soc Takes reached out to NISA commissioner John Prutch for comment.
Per Jonathan Tannenwald’s reporting, the Philadelphia Fury’s total payroll is expected to be in the “high six figures.”
The Fury are expected to kick off their NISA season against Stumptown Athletic on Sept. 7. Soc Takes also reached out to Fury CEO Matt Driver for comment.
Update: Soc Takes’ multiple attempts to reach the club proved unsuccessful. However, Driver responded to Tannenwald, and the latter paraphrased Driver’s comments on the matter in a tweet:
“Just got off the phone with Matt Driver. All the Fury players have been paid. Driver said there were a few tax/bank/etc. paperwork issues with some players but they’ve been settled at this point.”
