As the crisis of Chinese football continues to deepen, the Chinese Super League has also suffered a long "cold winter" that has not been encountered in a decade. Today, many clubs are on the verge of collapse by not making ends meet and their wage arrears are frequently exposed. Recently, chen Yong, a well-known football journalist, revealed that many clubs have proposed to the Football Association to request further salary cuts, which also means that the financial crisis of the Chinese Super League may be more serious than imagined.
According to Chen Yong, many clubs actually want players to reduce salaries, but they can't talk to players, so they hope that the Football Association will further formulate salary reduction orders, intending to completely suppress players' salaries in the form of a "new deal". And the Football Association is also willing to cut salaries to promote players to stay in the ocean. Therefore, this year, the Fa association plans to reduce the maximum salary of local players to 3 million before tax, which should be supported by a considerable number of clubs.
What's more, according to Chen Yong, some clubs even suggested to the Football Association that in order to ensure that the salary cut takes effect "immediately", the Football Association should make it mandatory to stipulate that from the date of the salary reduction order, all players' contracts must be re-signed. However, not to mention that this has touched the legal bottom line and is also a clear violation of the relevant FIFA rules.
But even so, there are still clubs that use various "dirty" means in order to make players accept salary reduction contracts, such as suspension of salary, decentralization of reserve teams, etc., which can be described as extreme.
If the FOOTBALL Association really follows such advice, then what awaits Chinese football in the future will probably be a protracted controversy and the risk of being banned by FIFA worldwide.
It has previously been pointed out that when the Football Association previously issued a salary cut order, some clubs have expressed opposition because they are worried that the sudden salary cut will affect the internal atmosphere of the team and cause damage to the commercial value of the league. However, now, with the continuous expansion of the professional league crisis, how to cut expenses and "survive" has become the top priority of many clubs, in such a situation, the previous concerns about salary cuts are obviously not important.
Therefore, this year, the Football Association plans to further reduce the salary of players, which should not encounter too much resistance, and can even be said to be "the desire of the people". After all, the club really ran out of money this time.
