Chester City are citing "shabby" treatment after being handed a transfer embargo by the Football League.
A Professional Footballers' Association statement claimed "the majority of the players at the club have not received any payment for two months, or more".
But the main issue surrounds ex-City captain Paul Butler and Tony Dinning, who are in dispute with the club.
And City managing director Bob Gray said a meeting had already been convened to resolve that matter.
The PFA said in their statement on Friday that they have "provided financial assistance to the club for some time to assist in the payment of players' wages".
But Gray said: "All the current players who are contracted for next season have been paid up to date.
"We have taken legal advice and we shall vigorously defend our stance in the Butler/Dinning dispute""It has been widely publicised that we are in dispute with Paul Butler and Tony Dinning.
"We have made arrangements to meet officials of the Football League to sort out this shambles.
"And I think it is shabby that the PFA have seen fit to release a statement on their website, when they are in full possession of the details of our proposed meeting.
"We have taken legal advice and we shall vigorously defend our stance in the Butler/Dinning dispute."
Chester's veteran defender Butler was a contender for the manager's job when Bobby Williamson was sacked in March. But the post went instead to youth-team chief Simon Davies.
And neither Butler nor Dinning have been involved at the Deva Stadium since their fall-out with the club in mid-April.
The embargo means that the arrival of 22-year-old former Yeovil midfielder Anthony Barry, announced on Thursday, billed as Davies' first signing, may now be in doubt.
