What's this?
Espanyol in financial trouble? They need to bring three millin to table before the start of next week or they get a 6 points fine. Which means they are finding themselves in the relegation zone!
They have failed to make payments due to Bordeaux and Monaco relating to the sales of Riera and Nené respectively, both players were bought from the French clubs with a sell-on clause attached and Español have since sold the players (although Nené has gone back to Monaco so I don't know how they owe them more cash). The current risk of a fine and docked points relates to the Riera transfer and FF claim that if Español don't pay up by the beginning of next week then Fifa will apply a punishment.
