On March 19, the Football Association announced the list of the first batch of clubs that have completed the clearing of debts within the soccer industry. Notably, Guangzhou, Guangzhou City, Hebei, Shenzhen, Chengdu Rongcheng and the dissolved Wuhan Changjiang of the 2022 Chinese Super League season were not included.
It has been reported that the Football Association will publish a second list of those who have paid off their debts in the near future. Media personality Miao Yuan followed up on this report, stating that there are now two statements: the first is that the second batch of lists will definitely be announced tomorrow, and the second is that the delay will definitely continue tomorrow, but there will definitely not be a third batch of lists."
It's as if I've gone back to the moment when Chongqing handed over their roster at the whistle for the last season. There was no new Crown Pneumonia epidemic back then, but the problem of unpaid salaries was already prevalent in the Chinese Super League, Chinese League 1 and Chinese League 2. When we signed, we could only get 10% of our salary, while teams from other bases were getting 30% of their salary, which made us feel envious. The total collapse of Chinese professional soccer seems to be long doomed."
