The phenomenon of our soccer sector suffering from chronic unpaid wages has long been out of the news. It is common to see wage arrears from the lower levels of the Chinese League A, Chinese League B and Chinese Champions League to sometimes even involving Chinese Super League clubs. Recently, a certain club has been in the spotlight for its seven-month-long wage arrears, involving not only players but also coaches and administrative staff. During this long period of unpaid wages, the management kept playing power games, shirking responsibilities and finding excuses. The main protagonist in this case is the Sino B Kunming Zhenghe Shipbuilding Football Club.
Previously, the club had promised to resolve all wage arrears before the start of the Chinese B League. However, as the first phase of the league kicked off, the salary arrears dropped like a stone.
On August 26, the club's owner had promised with conviction that salaries would be paid on September 2nd. However, the truth was a shock. When the payday came, the group was in an uproar, the absence of investors became a target. In this regard, investors gave a variety of reasons: from delays in financial processing to Internet banking failures, and even proposed the issuance of 1000 yuan per person emergency gold unreasonable talk, the means are endless.
In the face of this attitude of the boss in dealing with the payroll problem, everyone shook their heads and sighed. However, the boss made a shocking remark, "Difficulties are only temporary, so please stay calm and don't be taken advantage of by others."
Similar situations are commonplace in many of our soccer clubs. Players fight for the salary they deserve, but often suffer from arrears. Whether it is Hebei and Chongqing in the Chinese Super League, or clubs in the Chinese League A and B, almost every league has similar problems.
Since both parties have signed a contract, everything should be carried out according to the contract. The players are responsible for training and playing, while the club needs to properly solve all kinds of problems of the players and pay the salary agreed in the contract on time. We hope that the problem of salary arrears of the Chinese B Kunming Zhenghe Shipbuilding Football Club can be solved as soon as possible.
