The FA has taken a massive pay cut, with 16 clubs opposing it, for reasons here.

To put it bluntly, this is a chain of benefit sharing, China's football industry has long been not a simple sports project, behind the accumulation of heavy burdens is that a common market and vested interests have been formed. In this field, there are investors, enterprises, sponsors, localities, economic parties, management teams and various interest associations on the periphery. Originally, the salary reduction could be directly understood as reducing operating costs, which would have been a good thing. However, once it is too low, the overall capital plate and project valuation will drop sharply, and the interests of various interest groups in the circle will be damaged. The player will ask: Only my salary will be reduced, will you also be reduced? The essence is that the football club is a symbol or capital project pool behind the enterprise, its role is not the result of its own operation, Chinese football does not make money Everyone knows, why invest? Because there are other marginal values and subordinate values, if the salary cut causes this value to decrease, everyone will naturally stop doing it.
