As for the access to the new season, soccer reports have more than once said that the Football Association will adhere to the principle of "preferring the lack of abuse", to be taken seriously. But the current situation, if the FA really want to solve the history of wage arrears as a necessary condition for access, then the Super League alone will have nearly half of the clubs can not pass the access, the A will be even more. In today's extremely special environment, the Football Association may not be able to withstand the massive withdrawal of the Super League, so we have already guessed that the Football Association will certainly be in the access issue again "relax"! In the current situation, the degree of access relaxation may be beyond imagination.
Zhao Zhen, a famous media personality and agent, gave Shaanxi fans a piece of mind when he connected with Liaozhu player Chen Xing, Shaanxi fans, and famous blogger Ronny Nick - "I've heard that as long as there's no litigation over international disputes, the final standard is fine in principle! Why emphasize this point? Because China has been targeted by FIFA and AFC. If you are awarded a lawsuit by CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport International) without a repayment agreement, you are not allowed to enter!"
Due to Shaanxi's problems, domestic players' salary arrears have not been resolved, some players have not signed, and there is no foreign lawsuit involved; so Zhao Zhen's words explain it very clearly - there is no problem with Shaanxi's access.
The same situation actually applies to many Chinese Super League clubs. For example, Dalian's domestic players owed wages for 22 years and three months, some of which had not been paid 22 years ago; Dalian failed to pay back multiple arbitrations awarded by the FA in accordance with the stipulated time. But since the foreign-related lawsuits were resolved, it doesn't matter how much is owed domestically. Dalian's focus is on resolving disputes with foreigners. There are currently rumors in the circle that Dalian has reached a repayment agreement with Janisson, and Dalian seems to have no problem getting through access.
Guangzhou City has also previously exposed serious problems with international lawsuits involving up to nine people, but seven have been fully resolved; as for Tosic and Guilherme's lawsuits, soccer reports two days ago stated that media personality Wang Wei had revealed that Guangzhou City and Guilherme had reached an agreement on a settlement and that Guilherme would return to the team in the near future. As for the historical legacy of Tosic, Wang Wei also confirmed that on March 5, the club and Tosic reached an agreement to solve the problem of arrears of wages. Considering that the Guangzhou team, Evergrande created a loophole that no one could fill, which has actually been abandoned by the relevant parties in the city.
As for other clubs, such as Kunshan, who have not assembled, it seems that the FA will at least not prevent them from taking part in the new Chinese Super League season, as they have already submitted their admission documents and there is no international lawsuit. The same actually applies to teams like Cangzhou and Meizhou. When domestic players are underpaid and this access is not under the FA's scrutiny, only Shenzhen has serious doubts about the 18 teams in the Chinese Super League; they can hold up Dai Weijun's money for a while, but fixing the big hole in the foreigners won't be easy!
Because unpaid wages in the Chinese Super League (CSL) and Chinese Football Association (CFA) have not been uncommon in the past two years, not only were they previously listed as one of the top seven high-risk leagues by the FIFA, with FIFPro (short for the Fédération Internationale des Professionnels) warning players not to play in the CSL; this time around, FIFA and the AFC are both targeting the CSL and the CFA. Obviously, the CFA can't back down indefinitely like it did in the previous two years.
When the settlement of international litigation became the "bottom line" for entry, this is why many clubs have prioritized negotiating with foreign players and paying some of the costs of foreign players and coaches over time. Only the resolution of domestic player salary arrears is no longer a requirement for entry; it also means that many clubs can continue to default on domestic player salaries, with some players likely to face arrears for three consecutive years.
