With the FA's decision to delay the admission audit of clubs for the new season, to this day, the public remains curious as to which clubs failed to pass the audit successfully. It is reported that the FA is considering further delaying the timetable for the admission review.
According to Football Daily, the CFA issued a notice to clubs in the three-tier league on December 12, aiming to solicit their views on the policy reform of the professional league for the 2024 season. The survey was conducted in the form of a questionnaire, focusing on three main topics: league policy, admission standards and competition rules.
With questionnaire returns due by December 14th, plus the subsequent collation of surveys, it is clear that the original deadline will not be met and the extension of the club's access audit appears to be a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile, the CFA is also exploring the possibility of relaxing its policy on off-site transfers as it investigates league access issues. According to some sources, the ban on off-site transfers, which has been in place for a long time, may be lifted.
Sichuan Jiuniu, a newly promoted Chinese Super League team, is expected to take this opportunity to move its team to Shenzhen to fill the void of a Chinese Super League team in that city. The Shenzhen team has been relegated to the first division and is in a dire financial situation, making its future unclear. If Sichuan Jiuniu successfully moves in, it will undoubtedly be good news for Shenzhen fans, however, there are different views on the pros and cons of relaxing the transfer policy for the future development of Chinese soccer.
