Almost at the beginning of every year, there will be news that Wanda Group wants to withdraw, but it is always "punched in the face" by reality.

Hu Yuting said: Dalian is a well-known "football city" with a profound historical background, a steady stream of football talents, a solid mass foundation, a strong social atmosphere, and a unique development of football. It is necessary to increase policy support, make good use of youth training bases, strengthen operation and management, improve the level of youth training, and cultivate more outstanding football talents. It is necessary to establish a cooperation mechanism with relevant colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools and enterprises inside and outside the city, hold regular football training competitions for college, middle and primary school students, fully drive the football culture and football economy, and contribute to the revitalization of football and the development of the football industry.
At present, Dalian Ren Club is actively promoting the club share reform, wanda group after taking over the club, in addition to the construction of Dalian people base, but also in Dalian to take a lot of land, some have been built for sale, some are still under construction.
From the above news and signals, it seems that Dalian people have been reloaded and ready to go, but who will operate and dominate in the future will have a clearer answer after the stock reform.
