As revealed by this website on Wednesday, Eagles players downed tools and have vowed not to go to training until they receive their salaries.
According to a source close to the KwaZulu-Natal side, their owner Sbu Mpisane appeared before the League's DC last night represented by Advocate Norman Arendse.
However, the hearing ended up being postponed until 30 March because the Disciplinary Committee demanded further particulars to the charge sheet.
Apparently the club's CEO Morgan Mammila informed the League yesterday that there was a players' strike at Eagles.
The source says what is striking about the whole issue is that a club from Durban that can't pay players salaries was able to send Cape Town-based attorney and senior counsel Arendse to the hearing.
"So they've got money for that but they can't pay players. I wonder what the players will say when they see where their money is going," the source tells snl24.com/kickoff.
On Wednesday an insider at the club told this website that the players will not train or honour fixtures up until club owner Mpisane pays their salaries.
According to NSL rules: 'Where a Member Club is found guilty in terms of Rule 15.2 its opponent in that match will receive a walkover [3-0 win], unless the Disciplinary Committee considers that a different sanction may be more appropriate.'
PSL spokesman Luxolo September was asked if that meant Eagles' opponents for all their remaining fixtures would get maximum points if the players failed to pitch up.
"Ja but we don't even know that the players will not pitch up you know," he says.
"It's the first time I hear you know. We can't get involved based on speculation or what you are saying to me you know, obviously. You know what I mean?
"I don't know what will happen but I can't get involved based on what you've heard and so on and so forth. I'm personally not aware of it.
"If a team fails to honour a fixture it's there in our rules what happens. But I don't want us to get involved in that as if we are speculating what is going to happen.
"As far as we are concerned, the team will play this weekend."
