Recently, some media exposed that the Football Association was ordered by the relevant departments to refund "unreasonable and illegal fees", of which the refund of "reinforcement adjustment fees" is the top priority of this work. If the Football Association successfully refunds the huge amount of money from the Chinese Super League team, then the eight-time champion Guangzhou team will usher in a new turning point, and the team will no longer have to save money and sell people to survive. Just when the majority of fans are happy for the Guangzhou team, I have a new worry: will Evergrande, which is seriously short of money, "rob" this money halfway?
It is reported that since the beginning of the 2017 season, the Football Association has collected a total of 203.2 million euros of so-called "reinforcement adjustment fees" from Various Chinese Super League teams, namely Fellaini 7.2 million euros, Modeste 29 million euros, Paulinho 42 million euros, Bakambu 40 million euros, Hamsik 20 million euros, Carrasco 30 million euros, Vieira 11 million euros, Talisca 19.2 million euros, and Kintro 5.9 million euros. Among them, Guangzhou (Evergrande) team has the largest, reaching 61.2 million euros, equivalent to 430 million yuan.
430 million yuan, in the past, it was only a fraction of the annual expenditure of the Guangzhou team (in the 2019 season, the Guangzhou team invested 2.9 billion yuan, made a profit of 960 million yuan, and lost 1.94 billion), but now, it can be enough for them to use for two or three years. Once the Guangzhou team has this money, it can well appease the main players such as Jiang Guangtai and Wei Shihao, and in less than two seasons, the Guangzhou team can definitely make a comeback. But why should I worry that Evergrande will "rob" this money halfway through? Because there is precedent for this.
In the middle of last season, the parent company of the Guangzhou team, Evergrande, "thunderstorm", some well-known things happened, and the lack of money on the books was serious. But this matter actually had no impact on the Guangzhou team, because Evergrande would play the working capital to the team's books a year in advance every time, and the "Football News" also revealed this matter at that time, which I remember very clearly.
However, what people did not expect was that Evergrande finally withdrew all the funds operated by the Guangzhou team in the second half of the year, which directly led to months of unpaid wages and the final departure of naturalized players.
Although Evergrande has now passed through the most difficult period, no one can guarantee that they have no idea about the huge amount of money returned by the Football Association, because this is their "principal", and there is no way for people to really take away the Guangzhou team.
Thousands of calls began to come out, originally the Football Association refunded the adjustment fee is a good thing, but if Evergrande "robbed" this money in the middle, then for the Guangzhou team is really a happy game. Now we can only hope that Evergrande will turn a blind eye and "forget" this matter, so that the Guangzhou team can get this extremely important "team building fund". Fans, what is your point of view? Discussion is welcome.
