Shrimpers' squad have not yet received January wages
Southend United have failed to pay their players' wages for January,
Sky Sports News understands.
With the club facing a winding-up order and strapped for cash, the players have reportedly felt the brunt of the club's financial problems.
The Shrimpers owe approximately £200,000 to the Inland Revenue, something chairman Ron Martin disputes.
The Essex club could face administration and a 10-point deduction should their financial health not improve.
Southend slipped to 18th in the League One table following their 3-1 defeat to MK Dons at the weekend.
They are currently just one point above the relegation zone and any points deduction could have a devastating impact on the club's future.
The Shrimpers players are due to have their next month's wages paid on Friday.
