Chinese Super League attraction adjustment fee controversy and clubs survival dilemma
As the Chinese Super League comes to an end, the tug-of-war behind it has not subsided. The answer to the question of whether or not the controversial Chinese professional league's reinforcement fee system will survive is about to be revealed.
Since the 2017 season, in order to curb the surge in the price of internal and external aid, the Football Association has introduced the policy of attraction adjustment fee. According to statistics, there have been eight foreign aid transfers involving adjustment fees, totaling billions of yuan. Since the birth of the reinforcement adjustment fee has been controversial, not only because of the inability to issue invoices in violation of a number of management regulations, and originally used for youth training funds have been idle due to accounting problems. What's more, some clubs pay it in full, while others fail to fulfill it, and the question of fairness arises.
This season, the financial situation of many clubs is in a worrying state, and many of them may be out of the league at all levels if they do not respond positively. A club that had paid the reinforcement adjustment fee has recently applied for a refund of the fee, citing an existential crisis in addition to accusing other clubs of failing to pay the fee as required. For these clubs that have paid the adjustment fee but are facing financial difficulties, the refund of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars is undoubtedly a welcome relief.
In addition, Cangzhou Lions club announced yesterday that the termination of the contract with the head coach Guterbi, the team will be temporarily coached by U21 head coach Liu Yan. Despite the pre-season introduction of Ahmadov, Zheng Kaimu and many other strength players, but the first stage of the Super League Cangzhou Lions performance is not satisfactory, 2 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, the results of the Guangzhou tournament ranked second to last, the relegation situation is worrisome.
