China Super League (soccer league)
With ten days to go before the start of the season, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Football Salon officially announced the suspension of its operations. "Suspension of operations" this statement, a complete copy of the previous league champion Jiangsu Suning, compared to "salon announced the closure of" this kind of irritating words, "suspension of operations" statement may be More gentle, but in fact, regardless of the closing or discontinued, Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic Football Salon has now drawn a period, into the rolling dust of history.
Chongqing's team is now powerless
Prior to the official announcement, those involved have actually been informed of the final decision of the salon, and the players and followers have now begun to say goodbye to the team they used to love through social media.
As a result of suffering from long-term unpaid wages, Chongqing team began a strike on May 16, May 18 in the downtown area of Chongqing salon door was pulled on the black and white pay banners, triggering widespread concern. Until now, Chongqing players are owed more than 1 year, the longest reached 16-18 months, due to long-term arrears of wages, on the daily life of the players has now caused a relatively large impact, part of the players were forced to sell their homes and cars to make ends meet, the salon staff in order to make ends meet, and even went to be a takeaway boy, to subsidize the family.
In this process, in order to help the salon, the team all coaches, players, although after an open letter stating that they are willing to abandon the salary before April 30, 2021, but even so, in the face of bankruptcy of the present group is still unable to support.
May 21, this side of the relevant personage handwritten condition statement, was Chongqing on the leader Wei Xin reproduced, in this condition statement, the relevant personage of this world group said: "Chongqing team this season budget 170 million or so, the two rivers group of funding is the key to the team into the competition area. If the two rivers group's 50 million funding can be in place, the team can enter the district, if not in place, the world group will immediately suspend the salon operation."
This document also reveals that the present group operation since the Chongqing soccer, has now invested 3 billion, and now the group is facing the risk of bankruptcy huge debt, self-care.
Claims will become more difficult
Before the announcement of the closure, Chongqing Salon has now come to the end of the mountain. "Salon management to the first team meeting, to the players to make it clear that the account is really no money, and there is no money to come in, there is no way", an insider said.
Salon level has been expected to go through the promotion of share reform, save the team, but in essence there is no development, two rivers group promised three years 150 million funding money, but also delayed in place. "Because of the previous history of debt is too huge, share reform has actually formed a deadlock. Can not find a program acceptable to all parties."
After the salon announced the suspension of the operation, the players will become more difficult to collect wages. According to the data previously released by team leader Wei Xin on social media, "the salon has not paid $551,696,575.87 before April 30, 2021, and from May 2021 to March 2022, the salon has not paid $202,130,702.03," he said. "Next to that $700 million plus in arrears, most of it is owed to players and staff for unpaid wages, plus some fundamental operating expenses.
Although in the salon's official tell, clearly indicates that "will be through the later litigation recovery, debt recovery, property sales and group borrowing, continue to raise funds, as far as possible to gradually clear the arrears of wages." However, it is clear to everyone that after the suspension of the salon operation, due to the main body of the salon legal person has ceased to exist, the players want to get back to their salaries, almost impossible to complete the mission.
In a similar situation to Chongqing, the 2020 season's league champions Jiangsu Suning, after suspending operations, the players under their command are owed large sums of salary still unpaid, so much so that the previous international
Milan (Italy)
Seizing the Italian Cup title, Suning players collectively went through the social media, Ait Inter President Zhang Kangyang, demanding Suning to pay the owed salary.
"Now can only first submit to labor arbitration to see how much money can come back is how much money," a Chongqing player 24 frustrated told Sohu Sports.
In the Chongqing team official tell, also said: "Salon property, including furniture, electrical appliances, equipment, vehicles, etc., are carrying the mission of clearing the arrears of wages. Expect us to try our best to ensure the safety of salon industry; at the same time, we also welcome all colleagues to actively help find buyers, and quickly finish the salon property disposal and salary arrears clearance."
This sentence can only be used as a kind of mental comfort to the players, and in fact, Chongqing team account has long been no funds, even if the salon property successfully completed bankruptcy pawning, can be gathered back to the funds will be very limited.
