However, the central issue at hand continues to revolve around equity reform. Equity reform seems to be the only way out, as it is synonymous with nothing more than the takeover by the government and state-owned enterprises. Can private companies still take the plunge into soccer? To tell you the truth, no! Even how tough the current economic situation is, and even if companies are in good financial shape, why would they need to take the plunge into soccer? You know, soccer has become a "public interest soccer", corporate naming rights are limited, plus from time to time to give up the league to support the national team, the competition does not play, the players still have to support, this is not a joke? How can a responsible entrepreneur take over a team?
As a result, the future landscape of the league is clear and will shift from a real estate corporate league to a state-owned enterprise league.
The question now is which companies the government will arrange to take over. The process is far from as simple as many people think, assuming that at the behest of the local government, there will be companies scrambling to buy the team. State-owned enterprises are also under financial pressure, need to support many employees and are responsible for the future. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether taking over soccer is considered a political achievement, now counting, and in two years counting, it is still difficult to say. This is also one of the reasons why Chongqing equity reform has been delayed.
Some of the city's team, looking for a takeover business is relatively easy, after all, there are many large enterprises, to give the government a little face, get together to engage in a bit of public welfare soccer can still be done, such as Shenzhen. But some cities are very difficult, such as Wuhan, Chongqing, Langfang. The most difficult one is Guangzhou. First of all, Guangzhou has two teams, both need to be saved, so who to save first? How to save? Who is willing to save who? No, if I keep talking like this, I seem to be turning into a philosopher.
Guangzhou's situation, before a media member broke the news that Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals was close to Fortune, and then there was an added revelation that Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals actually wanted to take over the
Evergrande, but it didn't go too well, so they turned to Fulham. It was also said that Yuexiu Group was talking about Evergrande. Finally, someone else said that no one actually wants to take over Evergrande, because Evergrande takes over not to mention that it will cost more money, and the pressure of taking over is also great. You take over the mantle of the eight champions, but also have to rent the venue of the heavenly stadium, the pressure of the fans and public opinion pressure in the future to be how big ah, not as good as to take over the R&F, a small business, the results of the middle of the river will not have too much pressure. In short, this matter is now so complicated that people can not understand.
There is also a theory from Shanghai that the two teams in Guangzhou are going to merge because the government can't bail out that many teams, and it's hard to find a new owner for one team, and to manage two teams? Why don't we just get one team? This sounds reasonable, so I also think it's not impossible for the two Guangzhou teams to merge. But the question is, which team to take as the mantle, that's hard to say, that's a lot of hilarity.
I think if a merger does happen, it would have to be Evergrande shutting down and merging into Fulham, unlikely Fulham shutting down and merging into Evergrande. Evergrande's players have big contracts that they can go bankrupt without having to pay, while Fortune's players have small contracts, and companies like Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals and Yuexiu, would have no problem acquiring Fortune's shell.
The worst thing that could happen to soccer in Guangzhou would be a merger into one, and it would be impossible to not have a task force. I'm packing my bags, the big cities won't allow their city's task force to just disappear. Rumor has it that Suning didn't follow the advice from the top to leave the team to Jiangsu, which upset the top a bit. This shareholding reform is also top down, strong and rumored to have to not leave the issue until 2022. The very purpose of the shareholding reform is to prevent the team from disappearing so easily, right?
Therefore, we do not have to be too disappointed, just be patient.
