Robbie Fowler's Indian payday under threat as Premier League Soccer hits problems
Wednesday, 22 February 2012 08:17
Six local business groups that bid successfully for a team to play in the PLS had spend around $7 million to buy the world stars at an auction last month. Crespo was picked up for $840,000 and Cannavaro for $830,000, while former Arsenal star Pires fetched $800,000, Nigerian Jay Jay Okocha got $550,000 and Fowler was sold for $530,000. It is unclear whether the players have yet been paid.
