On June 6, sports information man Sta Li broke the news that Guizhou team has not paid the players 8-10 months of salary bonuses, accumulated arrears of up to hundreds of millions of yuan, the team's future is worrying.
Staley pointed out in the article that at the beginning of the new season, Guizhou team had started with three consecutive victories, but then suffered three consecutive defeats, and the recent three rounds of matches were grainless, and the team's status was in the doldrums. This situation is closely related to the team's long-term salary arrears. In addition, the team's future direction is full of uncertainty, the risk of closing is increasing.
The main issues facing your team right now include:
1. Head Coach Manzano's liquidated damages have not yet been settled, involving huge sums of money.
2. The arrears of players' salaries and bonuses amounted to 8 to 10 months, with only 2.5 months' salaries having been paid, and the amount owed exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars, with the players not even having received a note in arrears.
3. Guizhou team suffered a FIFA transfer ban and is prohibited from attracting reinforcements and registering new players for the next three years.
The accumulation of these problems has caused the team's investors' interest in the team to wane and club owner Wen Xiaoting's passion for soccer to fade. In recent years, Guizhou's management has been in disarray, with foreign executives being paid exorbitant salaries without making any substantial contribution, and high-priced reinforcements being controversial.
It is reported that the team's attitude towards whether to continue to participate in the Central League wavered after paying the first stage of fees. On the one hand, Guiyang local government's support for the team is insufficient; on the other hand, Hengfeng's own financial situation is not optimistic, coupled with the team's problems, the huge amount of unpaid wages makes the investors' willingness to continue to invest in the lower.
Head coach Chen Mao had said in an interview, "The players didn't raise the issue about the win bonus, they were playing for themselves." These words hinted at a link between the three consecutive defeats and the players not being paid. Sources said that if the team finally closes, HFC could possibly reorganize the team and start from a lower league.
