On February 16, Beijing time, six Wuhan team players, including Arthur Junmin, Huang Zichang and Zhao Hongluo, collectively demanded that the club pay unpaid wages on social platforms. It is understood that Arthur Junmin has not received a salary since joining the Wuhan team last year, basically in the state of "free part-time work", and the situation of several other players is similar. At this point, the serious problem of wage arrears in Wuhan Club has been officially exposed to the world.
In fact, the Chinese Football Association is not unaware of the serious problem of wage arrears in the Wuhan team. According to pan Weili, a well-known football journalist, the Football Association had actually asked the Wuhan team to pay the players as early as last year, but the Wuhan side turned a deaf ear to this, until now it has triggered the anger of the players.
Pan Weili said: "It is understood that the Football Association completed the arbitration last July, and ruled that Zhuoer settled the salary arrears for the players, but now more than half a year has passed, and it has still not been implemented." I can actually understand that the Football Association cannot decide whether the national team's performance is good or bad, but your Football Association's handling of the white paper and red seal can not get any implementation, what authority does such an organization have? Who else takes you seriously? ”
As we all know, due to the particularity of professional player contracts, once a dispute arises between the two parties, it is impossible to go through the arbitration procedure of ordinary workers. Therefore, if players want to seek salaries, they can only seek help from the Chinese Football Association, which orders the club to pay the players' arrears of wages.
However, in history, the arbitration documents of the Football Association have often become a blank piece of paper, such as the previous salary negotiation between Wang Weicheng and the Chongqing team, which was because Chongqing refused to perform the orders of the Football Association; and now, almost exactly the same plot has been repeated in the wuhan team and 6 players such as Arthur Junmin.
For Chen Shuyuan, the "big boss" of the Football Association, the Wuhan team's move is tantamount to throwing him a heavy slap. Since taking the helm of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Shuyuan and his leadership team have repeatedly stressed the need to pay close attention to the financial situation of professional teams and severely punish those clubs with serious financial problems and wage arrears. However, even so, the Wuhan team still does not seem to take the FA seriously, as Pan Weili said, the authority of the FA is really running out.
