Well this surely is not good news, but at least the players are now getting paid.Neuchatel Xamax have been deducted four points by the Swiss Football League for violating licensing regulations.
The SFL confirmed on their official website that their disciplinary commission had deducted the club one point for failing to pay their employees' social security contributions in August and three for failing to pay salaries, social security and accident insurance contributions in September.
The SFL said they had already fined the club 20,000 Swiss francs (approximately£13,600) in November for license violations, while two more cases were still open.The deduction drops the team from fifth to seventh, but the club have the right to appeal the findings.

Tragic. I remember watching them last season and they played so well. Do they still have that Brazillian? Can't remember his name.

A quick scan indicates no Brazilians play for them at this time.Kuled wrote:Tragic. I remember watching them last season and they played so well. Do they still have that Brazillian? Can't remember his name.

Kalu Uche and David Navarro play for them 
But their Chechnyan owner is a disgrace, he's faking bank documents, not paying players, firing coaches, staff etc and he's most likely a criminal.

I would not be surprised if this was their situation because they have a lot of problems in Chechnya. In fact the Russian team that Samuel Eto'o plays in Chechnya but they only fly in for games as every one on the team lives in Moscow and that is where they do their training.
