At 22:00 on the evening of February 16, Beijing time, reporter Shi Wei contacted the top management of the Wuhan team, and the response was that what Arthur Junmin said on the social platform was not the whole truth.
At 13:00 this afternoon, Arthur Junmin suddenly spoke out on social platforms, accusing the Wuhan team of owing him wages and bonuses, promising to solve it by the end of the year but no actual progress has been made so far. Subsequently, Huang Zichang, Tian Yinong, Yang Boyu, Ye Chongqiu and Zhao Hongliu also asked for salaries from the Wuhan team on social platforms, of which Tian Yinong said that he had been owed wages at the beginning of last year.
The news received by football newspapers is that the Wuhan team paid back two salaries in the middle of last season, but it has never been able to solve the problem of unpaid wages.
A senior member of the Wuhan team told reporter Shi Wei: "Arthur Junmin's contract salary has been paid, and some of the winning bonuses have not been issued." In the general environment, clubs have financial pressures, and other clubs have similar situations. ”
Tian Xudong, chairman of Wuhan Football Club, responded that the content released by Arthur Junmin was not the real situation and was being resolved in a meeting.
At this time last year, Zhou Tong, Liu Yi and Jiang Zilei three players simultaneously denounced salaries, and as a result, many Wuhan players stood on the side of the club, stood up to deny the team's salary arrears, and criticized the three former teammates who were begging for salaries for not being worthy of the bonus. Now that the Wuhan team is once again mired in the wage arrears scandal, the Wuhan team still insists that it is untrue to break the promise and not pay wages.
At 22:00 in the evening, the official social platform of the Wuhan team also officially spoke out, mainly mentioning two points.
The first point is to rename the "Wuhan Team" to the "Wuhan Yangtze River Team". The second point is to hope that the players can take the initiative to cut their salaries, and then everyone will come back and sit down and talk about last season's salary issues.
