As the tide of Jinyuan football fades, the current embarrassing situation and severe challenges faced by the Chinese Super League have become the most real "mirror" of Chinese men's football. On February 16, Arthur Junmin publicly asked Wuhan Zall Football Club for a salary on social media platforms. Last season, Arthur Junmin joined Wuhan after the shandong Taishan settlement, and last season Arthur Junmin played a total of 13 Chinese Super League matches, including 12 starts, which can also be regarded as a contribution to the team's relegation.
However, according to the news revealed by Arthur Junmin on the 16th, the club has been in arrears in wages and bonuses, and promised to solve the problem years ago and has not been cashed. Soon, Arthur Junmin's public salary solicitation on the social media platform has also attracted attention from the outside world, in fact, salary arrears are very common in the Chinese Super League, and at present, in all the Chinese Super League teams, the clubs that do not owe wages are a minority. On February 19, Sports Weekly also reported on the current situation of wage arrears in Chinese football, and the information revealed in the report also confirmed the current situation of large-scale wage arrears in the Chinese Super League.
For example, some clubs owe wages for up to half a year; some clubs are more 'humane', although they also owe wages, they will still pay game bonuses, although the bonus is not as much as the salary, but they can send money at least to stabilize the situation. In a club, the player's salary payment began to be linked to performance, and the salary that could be obtained every month was divided according to performance, and finally reached about 50,000 or 60,000, even the former international footballer was no exception. And from the beginning of the year to the end of the year of the club is not nothing, more typical in addition to the above mentioned Wuhan team, Hebei team, Chongqing team is the same, Hebei team even has no money on the book.
The situation of unpaid wages in each club is mainly related to the operation of the parent company of the team, the parent company is prone to problems, and the clubs that are highly dependent on the blood transfusion of the parent company will face difficulties in maintaining operations. For example, hebei team, the company behind is Huaxia Happiness, after the great changes in the domestic real estate industry, Huaxia Happiness has not been able to resist, so it can be seen that in 2020-2021, Hebei team will almost be able to "sell" and players with market prospects on the trading table, so "selling blood to survive" is tragic. In addition, the Chongqing team has actually been rumored to have a problem of wage arrears since 18 years, due to the difficulty of capital turnover, the late payment of contemporary groups and the arrears of club wages are also commonplace, and the Chongqing team has been on holiday directly due to the delay in getting the promised salary.
As with the complex reasons behind the longevity of Chinese men's football, the reasons behind the widespread unpaid wages of Chinese Super League clubs are also complex. We all know that in the early years, the annual salary of a football player was often millions, but as the tide of capital receded, many investors are actually silently digesting these long contracts, even if the Football Association has issued a salary limit order now, but it will take time to wait for these long-term contracts to expire, before that, the situation of capital turnover difficulties and wage arrears of Chinese Super League clubs will continue for a period of time.
On the other hand, football as the world's most popular ball sport, to say that the market is still there, but the domestic situation is different, the capital investment football club even though there was no small enthusiasm before, but in the end it was defeated by reality, the worst plan was to "lose money and make a drink", but now not only lose money, even shouting can not shout, so it is not difficult to understand that China's football league will enter a vicious circle.
