Recently, an explosive news has been spreading all over the internet that Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, the former major investor of the Guangzhou team, has announced that it will return to the Guangzhou soccer world and is expected to become another Guangzhou
China Super League (soccer league)
Team Canton City's receiver. The news has the Guangzhou faithful once again worried about the team's fate.
It is reported that the Guangzhou Municipal Government has set up a leading group specifically responsible for adjusting the equity of the two soccer clubs, which is headed by the city leaders themselves, and its members include the heads of the Sports Bureau and other relevant departments. Their first task is to find enterprises that can take over the two clubs. It is understood that these potential enterprises are mainly local state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou, and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group is just one of them. Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group was an investor in the Guangzhou team between 2006 and 2009, leading the team from the Central League to the
China Super League (soccer league)
, realizing the dream of Guangzhou fans for many years. However, due to the 2009 match-fixing incident, the team was forced to be relegated, and Evergrande Group then acquired the Guangzhou team for 100 million yuan, starting the Evergrande dynasty.
The main leaders of the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group have a passion for soccer, and after quitting Guangzhou Soccer, they have been working on a project called "Traditional Chinese Medicine Soccer", and have continued to alleviate poverty in the western region for many years. When the Guangzhou Municipal Government approached the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, the latter hoped to take over the Guangzhou team, which in the minds of its fans is the club that has truly inherited the spirit of Guangzhou soccer, rather than Guangzhou City. However, the sheer size of the Guangzhou team, especially the high salary level of the players, was difficult for even the powerful Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group to bear.
If Guangzhou wants to find a suitable receiver, either the players accept a significant pay cut, or the existing big-name players terminate their contracts and leave, and then rebuild with mainly young players. The salary level of Guangzhou City is relatively low, which makes it less difficult for Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group to take over the team. However, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group is worried that once it takes over Guangzhou City, a large portion of Guangzhou fans will express dissatisfaction. Therefore, there is still discussion on who the new investor of the two clubs will be.
In any case, as this year's
China Super League (soccer league)
One of the members of the tournament, Canton will do everything in its power to ensure that the two Canton teams successfully complete this year's
China Super League (soccer league)
League. The Guangzhou Municipal Government may advance funds to secure the team's preparation and matches before resolving the club's equity issue. As the tournament is held in Guangzhou, there are no travel costs for the Guangzhou team, and once in the Blue Zone of the tournament, all team expenses will be covered by the Chinese
National Football Association (NFA)
The team will have to bear the burden, therefore, the second phase of the Super League will not actually require much money from Guangzhou except for player salaries.
If a player refuses to play for Guangzhou because the club owes him wages, then Guangzhou will probably send young players to play, and then the game will just be a cope.
