Li Xuan disclosed in Soccer News that Kunshan players were anxious in the face of the club's decision and the team has yet to get together. With the shareholding reform, the Kunshan team encountered cold feet from the municipal government and the new shareholders, and the lack of funds made the team falter, which is now a three-legged team. At a time when the overall soccer environment is in the doldrums, investors know very well that they are investing in the Chinese Super League more for the love of soccer than for the expectation of profit. Therefore, the dissolution of the Kunshan team seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile, Shenzhen and Guangzhou City are not having a good time, with the possibility of withdrawing from the Chinese Super League this season still looming large. With the soccer association at its wits' end, especially after Chen Xuyuan's arrest, party secretary Du Zhaocai has distanced himself from the league's affairs for fear of being caught up in the maelstrom of public opinion. The Chinese Super League now seems to be on the verge of dying on its own, with fewer and fewer people wanting to be involved and the specter of disbandment looming over every team.
Against this background, the FA had no choice but to appoint Gao Hongbo as the head of the preparatory team for the CFF, seemingly shirking their responsibilities. They intend to throw all the problems to Gao Hongbo, and they stay out of it. However, I'm afraid that Gao Hongbo alone can't save this seriously ill league.
