Reporter Chen Yong reported that on the afternoon of February 8, Hebei Football Club officially issued a brief notice: "The winter training work of the first team of Hebei Football Club, which was scheduled to start today, was postponed for some reason. Just 26 words, but let the Hebei fans who have always paid attention to the dynamics of the team feel half cold, and with the same mixed feelings, there are Dalian fans who do not know how to deal with the new season. There is not much time left for the Hebei team.
On January 21, Hebei Football Club issued a centralized notice, and they even used the "Countdown to the Light of Hope" as the beginning, which said that in order to actively prepare for the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League, the first team of Hebei Football Club is tentatively scheduled to concentrate on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year (February 8) to start the winter training work of the new season.
Hebei Football Club also said: "Although the current work of the club is still difficult and challenging, we believe that under the care of leaders at all levels, with the support of Hebei fans, and with the efforts of the club colleagues, hebei team will be able to cut through thorns and thorns, continue to add glory to Hebei football, and prepare for the cultivation of Chinese football talents." ”
More than half a month later, everything was overturned again. On the afternoon of February 8, Hebei Football Club issued a notice: "The winter training work of the first team of Hebei Football Club, which was scheduled to start today, has been postponed for some reason. "The countdown to the light of hope finally became the countdown to the light of disappointment, and the situation of Hebei football once again became the focus. In fact, at this moment, the fans have become numb, and many fans have left such words:
"Destroy, hurry, tired!"
"The relevant departments in Langfang are really enough!"
"Hurry up and announce the dissolution, don't delay the players, let the family go out early to find a job!"
"Let it go, since you don't let the club go to Tangshan, and don't fulfill the promises you left behind, at least don't delay the good years of Coach Jin and these players." Each of them has taken their last breath for this team and they deserve a better future. ”
The cheers for the club were drowned out by such desperate cries. At this moment, I am afraid that not only the fans, Hebei Football Club is also completely tired. However, Dalian fans are a little confused, they hope that Hebei Football Club will give a happy word and a letter of approval, so that Dalian can decide whether to buy foreign aid to play in the Chinese Super League, or prepare to play in the Chinese First Division.
The survival problem of Hebei Football Club has now lasted for more than a year, and in early 2021, Hebei Football Club broke out into an economic crisis, because of the economic difficulties of the parent company Huaxia Happiness Group, which led to the establishment of a debt committee, and the parent company could no longer transfuse blood to the club.
At this time, Hebei Football Club launched self-help, successively sold a number of team big-name local players, and sold all foreign aid outside Memisevic to return operating funds, the club's expenditure fell from the previous billion yuan per year to the current 300 million, it is reported that the current estimate of 200 million can operate the club normally, it can be said that there is an extremely clean foundation for stock reform, and the parent company Huaxia Happiness Group promised to bear all the previous debts.
On this basis, the relevant parties in Hebei Province and Langfang City promised to carry out share reform, and the "Hebei Football Club Reform Plan" was also approved in the first half of 2021.
But what makes people helpless is that the share reform plan was approved, but the promotion was extremely slow, in this process, Hebei Province also intervened for a time, but the results were minimal, and the relevant departments of Langfang City were completely inactive.
Hebei Football Club once hoped that this matter could be completely resolved after the end of the league, but at present, 5 weeks have passed since the end of the league, and even if the Spring Festival holiday is removed, there are still 4 weeks, and the situation seems to show no signs of changing. At present, the training base of Hebei Football Club in Langfang Niutuo is still in a state of stagnation, while winter training and league access cannot be carried out, and as for youth training, many young players have begun to make a living for themselves.
Perhaps it can be said that the coming month will be the last time for the share reform of Hebei Football Club. Otherwise, once the current young players also have a large-scale loss, it is no longer meaningful to carry out stock reform: people have run out, how can a shell club survive after the stock reform?
If the share reform cannot be completed in the short term, in fact, the best outcome is: the relevant parties announced that they would not be saved, and then Hebei Football Club, the club that created a miracle of winning the championship group for two consecutive seasons, was dissolved.
