In Chinese football, salary arrears have appeared again

Zhao Hejing, the former Beijing Guoan full back, also joined the “pay army”.

Last night, after the birthday news six months ago, Zhao Hejing updated his microblog again, but the beginning was a sentence: “two years of salary arrears, the club’s promises again and again, and breaking promises again and again.”

Almost before and after that, several Guizhou players such as Wang Xuanhong, Jiang Liang, Wang shouting and Lin Jiahao released the same text and pictures on their microblog.

Obviously, this is a collective action between some players.

According to the “request on coordinating salary arrears” in the attached picture, the total length of salary arrears of Guizhou team has exceeded 14 months. As for bonus and performance salary, the arrears have also lasted for three seasons. There have been problems since 2019 season, and the salary arrears are close to 100 million yuan.

At the beginning of this year, the players negotiated with the club. After receiving the commitment of the club to pay back wages in stages, the players signed the salary confirmation form and the club was able to complete the admission.

This is also a common situation in the past two years: if you do not sign, the club will not be able to complete the admission, which will be out of the jurisdiction of the football association and the league, and it will be more difficult to ask for salary; After signing, at least there will be a door for salary and investment in the future, and it can also provide a little feasibility for the transfer of the club.

According to the original schedule, the fourth stage of China League A will start in mid November, so today is also the time for each team to enter their respective division.

However, the current situation of Guizhou team is that “even the basic training venue can not be guaranteed, and the players can only keep running in the gym and cement to maintain their physical condition”, “no one cares about the current situation of the team”, and the players can not contact the person in charge of the team.

Perhaps because of this, the players announced their salary demands on their social media and unanimously decided not to enter the competition area according to the news of media reporters.

However, what makes people feel very sad is that this matter has not attracted the focus of the relevant media.

The reason is also very simple: salary arrears are no longer news. For most Chinese professional clubs, there is only the difference between being exposed and not being exposed.

According to the news of relevant reporters, even in the top Chinese Super League, there are no more than five teams without salary arrears. Note that what is said here is “no salary arrears”, which does not mean that all wages, performance and bonuses can be paid on time.

This is true for the most exposed Chinese Super League. In the relatively few Chinese League A and Chinese League B, even if the investment itself is small, there is basically no relatively good possibility.

Just before the salary arrears of Guizhou team broke out, Tianjin Jinmen tiger, a Chinese Super League club, also had new problems.

Previously, they were able to ensure that wages and bonuses were paid on time. Their wages in September were not paid in full, and everyone received only 10000 yuan.

Will this situation continue? When can the underpaid pay be made up? These problems are still unknown, and the players can only prepare for the next game with anxiety.

Looking at the current Chinese football, a club without salary arrears can be called a good club, which can also be reflected in its achievements. At present, the top three Chinese football teams in Zhejiang and Shanghai are expected to be the most optimistic when they have been put into the top three of the Chinese Football League. Even if they have been put into the top three of the Chinese Football League, they are expected to be put into the top three of the Chinese Football League.

This is exactly what Wen Xiaoting, who is still certified as the “chairman of Guizhou Hengfeng Football Club” by microblog, reflected on in an interview with the media in the middle of last year.

When talking about the difference between the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A, Wen Xiaoting said that the investment of the team in the Chinese Super League that year was blind. There were both objective reasons for the popularity of the market and subjective reasons for their lack of understanding. “We really suffered a lot of losses”.

In her opinion, the downgrade has actually become a good thing. After all, it makes the parent company realize early that heavy investment is unsustainable, but I’m afraid the change in understanding is not fast enough under various blows.

According to the current situation, there are many teams that have not been exposed as unpaid, and almost everyone is struggling to support them.

When China’s football foam was most exaggerated, China’s FA association was unable to deal with a bad debt, and it was not a return to the club.

However, from the perspective of curbing Jinyuan football, the biggest problem of useless aid adjustment fee is that it wastes the most valuable time window and fails to form the effect of curbing Jinyuan football. When the expenditure cap and other policies are released, the parent company behind the club is actually unable to make high investment, so it has become the current “way of salary arrears”.

Therefore, in the process of China’s football foam burst, China’s football managers also have their own responsibility.

If you have done wrong before, you can’t do it again in the future.

According to the experience of Guizhou players, the so-called salary and bonus confirmation form can be suspended. This piece of paper can not supervise the club at all, because when the situation is poor, the players and the club are fully motivated to reach an offensive and defensive alliance.

The transparent inspection of the club’s finance by the joint industrial and commercial department and the legal support of the joint political and legal system for players’ salary are what the Chinese Football Association and even higher-level managers should do.

Only in this way can wage arrears, a stubborn disease of Chinese football, be completely cured.
