In the past, Shenhua soccer was like a bright pearl of Shanghai city, carrying the emotional support of countless Shanghai citizens. Since Greenland Group took over, the team has won two AFC Cups in a row and emerged in the AFC Champions League. Behind these brilliant achievements, stable financial support from the parent company is indispensable.
However, today Greenland Group is experiencing operational difficulties. If we can clarify the direction of the stock reform, whether we choose to reform or maintain the status quo, at least we can let everyone have a clear idea in mind - if the reform, you need to act quickly; if not, Greenland Group is still fully responsible, at least we can formulate a practical program for solving the team's current problems, both in terms of time and manner, for the gradual solution of the problem Provides a possibility.
However, the Shenhua club lacks clear guidelines, do not know when to usher in substantial progress, can only wait silently, "get through" this difficult period.
Shenhua Club is facing a dilemma, not only the problem of operating a first-team, but also covers a multi-line echelon. In recent years, the ladder team has developed a lot of outstanding talent, the national U21 to Croatia, Shenhua delivered five players; national team recruitment, and sent five international players. These consecutive years of investment, I'm afraid it is difficult to produce today's results. In addition, Shenhua also has women's soccer, the same need for financial support. Youth training is the future, women's soccer is also Shenhua to cooperate with the requirements of the Football Association and configuration of the project. Although the Football Association no longer has a women's soccer team as a condition of entry audit, but Shenhua is still unwilling to give up women's soccer.
In the heyday of golden dollar soccer, Shenhua's investment in the Chinese Super League was in the middle of the pack, requiring about 700-800 million. Nowadays, even in the downturn, the expenses are up to hundreds of millions a year. With the economic difficulties brought about by the epidemic intensified, Shenhua management even began to use personal funds to advance the team's daily operations, but this is only a temporary stopgap measure, there is no capital injection of investors, relying only on the management to advance the expenditure to fundamentally solve the team's plight, obviously impractical.
Shenhua club is caught in the dilemma of share reform, they are in urgent need of clear guidance, whether to carry out the share reform, or the Greenland Group continue to support independently? This is the key to solving all the problems. From the club's perspective, the only thing they can hope for is the tens of millions of dollars in player transfer fees owed to Shenhua by other teams in the Chinese Super League. If we can get this money, Shenhua should be able to get through the small difficulties on July 31st. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
