The Kagoshima Rebnise have been behind schedule on salary payments to players and team staff for the entire season, The Japan Times has learned.
Interviews with former Rebnise players paint a broad picture of the team's financial crisis.
Last week, American forward Cyrus Tate, who left the team on Dec. 20 after not getting paid for his work for a month, told this newspaper that "players on the team haven't been paid for over four months but they continue to travel for games and play games."
