Where will the 1.8 billion adjustment fee and the 300 million yuan bid guarantee fee go, and how will they be returned? There are many anti-corruption problems in the Football Association

Since the start of the 2017 summer transfer window, the Chinese Super League has spent a total of 1.8 billion yuan under the "recruitment adjustment fee" policy established by the Football Association. This was also the first major move of Chen Xuyuan, then chairman of the Chinese Football Association, after taking office, of course, the various policies he promoted, including the reform of gender-neutral names, naming rights reform, the competition system, etc., were also extremely controversial. It wasn't until he was investigated for violations and a new team came to power that similar issues were formally addressed.

Obviously, this huge amount of 1.8 billion yuan has become the focus of the public's attention. Prior to this, video and text reports did inform the public about their corruption problems, and the numbers were also meant to be disclosed to the media, but they were still a world away from that number. In 2022, the State Administration for Market Regulation conducted an investigation into this matter, but the result was "legal", and there were no problems and chaos for the time being. I wonder how it will be explained now?

There is no suspicion of guilt. Leaving aside the "merger conjecture" on the corruption issue of Chen Xuyuan and others and the huge amount of adjustment fees, it is inevitable and normal to return the amount after determining that this policy is not very reasonable. However, according to the news of the football newspaper, it is estimated that it will be difficult and difficult to achieve this. Although, some of the money is known before going to the project, and it is possible to arrange a refund for the club's transfer, but it is almost impossible to find out all of it. This creates new "injustices".

However, since the introduction of this policy, the Football Association has experienced about 10 transfer windows in total, and according to the fact that there are 2-3 people per transfer window per team (in fact, it is less) within the scope of the adjustment fee, it is only about 400. If the records are detailed and the accounts are fine, they should be easily recovered. The problem is that the rules are inconsistent, and the accounts are inevitably incomplete, which leads to confusion about where the money is going.

According to the sum of the corruption figures of Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and others, there is a big distance from 1.8 billion, so where exactly did they go, it may become a "mystery" that is difficult to dig out.

In addition, hundreds of millions of dollars under the construction of venues such as the Asian Cup hosting and competition are also problems that cannot be recovered at all. According to the reporter, the "bid support fee" to be handed over by each host city is 15 million to 30 million, and the total number exceeds 300 million. How to return this money is also a huge problem.

In addition, the return method, to whom to return, return ratio and other issues are relatively more difficult to operate, and it is not the new team to take over, so it is more difficult to do it well and do it right. If it is not done well or wrongly, it will be impossible to get to the root of the problem, and it will only lead to the recurrence of similar problems.
