Glory, where wages have been paid late for a second successive month.<\/p>\n<p>Owned by property developer Ross Pelligra, the Glory was late with player payments this month and last month, as well as March and in July last year, according to Professional Footballers Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis unacceptable situation has now become a pattern at the club,\u201d PFA chief executive Busch said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo worker should be waiting on pay day to find out whether they will be paid or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players continue to uphold their end of the bargain and expect the APL (Australian Professional Leagues) to ensure the clubs hold up theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While wages have now been paid for the month, it\u2019s understood that superannuation payments are still owed to the players.<\/p>\n<p>A Glory spokesman claimed there had been \u201csome timing issues\u201d with payments, and said the club was \u201cin a strong financial position\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Glory announced earlier this month that chief executive Anthony Radich was parting ways with the club.<\/p>\n<p>The Perth squad returns to competitive action on Tuesday night in an Australia Cup round-of-32 clash against NPL club Queensland Lions in Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>Read related topics:<a class=\"topic_tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/topics\/perth\" data-tgev-container=\"story-topic-links\"
