Football club sacks entire team over £5 pay demand
A Romanian football club has advertised for an entire team of new players after the current team demanded a £5 a month pay rise.
Managers at second division Dacia Mioveni, which came third in the league last season,decided it would be cheaper to place ads for new players rather than meet the "outrageous" pay demand.
The club is owned and run by the town council in Mioveni, a small town in Southern Romania.
Councillors, who are also managers of the team, said they did not have the money to meet the inflated pay demands of the players.
After heated negotiations, the club's management took out the ads and sacked all the team after players refused to sign new contracts, local media reported.
Town Mayor Vasile Costescu said: "If they won't accept the salary on offer then they can get on with their lives while we look for replacements. It's as simple as that."
