Although there has been a lot of news confirmed before, but when the Dalian People's Club officially announced the dissolution, it still makes people feel a little surprised. Of course, in addition to surprise, more is the endless regret for Dalian soccer. This dominant club, inherited nearly 30 years of the first generation of Chinese soccer, so far the bloodline has been completely interrupted. The future of Dalian soccer how to develop, will face a darker future.
This time, the Dalian people announced the dissolution, obviously different from the Dalian Shide withdrawal from the Chinese Super League. Although Dalian Shide was nominally disbanded at the time, the team was bought by Dalian Albion, which was a continuation of the previous "King of Dalian" lineage. Later, Albion was acquired by Dalian until Wanda Group took control of the team again. This historical legacy has never been broken. But this time, Dalian dissolved, but no one to take over, equivalent to this year, the team's "flag", completely become history.
According to the official statement of the Dalian Ren club, the dissolution was due to the huge debt problem that could not be solved. This is indeed a fact. So far, Dalian Ren still owes many foreign aiders and foreign coaches up to tens of millions of euros; at the same time, the local players haven't received their salaries for a long time, and the team's difficulties are no less than that of Shenzhen, a team that is about to be dissolved.
In the life and death of Dalian, the local authorities have repeatedly approached the Wanda Group, hoping that Wang Jianlin can "generously" for the team to tide over the difficult times to pay the bill. However, perhaps because of the cash flow difficulties, or perhaps because of these years by the soccer pit. This time, even Wang Jianlin refused to lend a helping hand. As a result, Dalian's hope of survival was completely cut off.
As a matter of fact, back in 2022, when Dalian People's Club was transferred from Wanda Group, it was reported that Wanda promised to take care of all the club's historical debts, but so far, this is just an "empty promise". Regardless of whether or not Wanda made such a promise, now that the team has gone up in smoke, the only thing that remains is the lamentations of the fans and the endless complaints and quarrels of all parties.
