Looking back on the first 4 rounds of the league, the performance of the 16 clubs in the Super League declined more than last season's runner-up Taishan, especially in the 4th round, in the face of weaker, points at the bottom of the manatee, Taishan did not show its due strength, if it was not for Delgado to complete the stunner at the last moment, Taishan is likely to get a draw, for the team, it is lucky to be able to defeat Qingdao Manatee. After the game, many fans also felt doubts, on paper, Taishan has the ability to compete for the championship, but the first four rounds of games have achieved 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw, especially the four opponents, the strength is not an absolute powerhouse, compared with last season, Taishan's performance has declined significantly.
On the second day after the match with Manatee, the outside world began to spread that Taishan encountered some problems in operation, especially in terms of funds, and there were rumors of wage arrears, but there were also informed media people who explained that Taishan is not currently encountering salary or bonus problems, but more at the management level, especially between shareholders, just when the above discussion did not fall, there was news that the main investor of Taishan, Jinan Cultural Tourism, withdrew, this moment caused heated discussions in the outside world, after all, the withdrawal of shareholders may mean greater adjustment of the club。
Judging from the display, Jinan Cultural Tourism withdrew from the list of shareholders on April 7, a change that made the outside world feel worried, although some media people said that Cultural Tourism would not withdraw, and the reporter's source came from the club, which was more credible. However, the information checked above is not groundless, even if Jinan Cultural Tourism does not leave, it also arouses the worries of fans. Fans are no strangers to Jinan Cultural Tourism, which acquired 40% of the club's equity at the beginning of 2021, while the original major shareholder Luneng's equity was reduced to 30%, and Jinan Cultural Tourism was upgraded to the team's largest shareholder, and at the same time managed and responsible for the operation of Luneng Football School.
It should be said that in the early days of Jinan Cultural Tourism, the outside world also reported a lot of hope, and that season Taishan also won the FA Cup, and then the performance of Jinan Cultural Tourism was affirmed, and now there is a problem again, the probability is still around the allocation and use of funds, if Jinan Cultural Tourism withdraws, then who will take over the remaining shares will become a problem.
After all, Luneng could not continue to serve as the major shareholder, so he had to transfer the equity, and if Jinan Cultural Tourism withdrew, then who would serve as the first shareholder may also directly determine the future of the club. The above-mentioned negative news will also have a certain impact on the club, especially the coaching staff and the preparation of the players, and it is best for the club to have a direct explanation for this and settle the controversy as soon as possible.
