Recently, the network buzz, the Chinese Super League Dalian People's team of Tong Lei, Shan Huanhuan, Lin Liangming, Wu Wei four players suspected of renewing the contract dispute was suspended from training, the reason is a mystery. Although the Dalian People's Club and the players themselves have not made an official statement, but according to Beijing Youth Daily, by the fluctuations in the domestic soccer environment, many clubs in recent seasons have been "belt-tightening", in the case of insufficient open source, this phenomenon is becoming more serious. The conflict between the tight financial chain of the club and the high contract of some players has led to the escalation of labor conflicts.
As of now, Dalian People are in 14th place in the 15 rounds of the Chinese Super League (CSL), even though they have played 3 fewer rounds. Despite playing with a full Chinese squad in the first half of the league, the team's performance has been quite good, and in the 12th round of the Super League bye match on September 1, Dalian Ren beat Shenzhen 5-1, with manager Xie Hui's "press and play" tactics once again winning praise, and Lin Liangming scoring twice. However, at this time, the news that Lin Liangming and other four will be suspended from training, let a person quite surprised.
In fact, Dalian People's Club successfully introduced new recruits during the transfer window thanks to the timely settlement of some contractual disputes. In accordance with the requirements of FIFA and the arbitration results, the club has settled the salary arrears of players and employees. However, most of the unpaid wages involved in similar disputes occurred in the era of "gold dollar soccer", and the settlement work cost a lot of money. As a result, the club is unable to make further high-cost investments in new additions or contract extensions.
Putting aside the rumor that Dalian four will be suspended, many clubs in the Chinese Super League in the "post-golden soccer era" is still plagued by the legacy of the previous large investment. Part of the foreign aid and local players are still according to the original contract to enjoy high salaries, which is more than half of the clubs are still plagued by salary arrears problem is the main reason.
Although there are some players in the Chinese Super League "price and value of the serious deviation" of the situation, but in the contractual constraints, to solve the problem of salary arrears is inevitable. Part of the "no rice under the pot" of the club had to communicate with the players, coaches, pay cuts, and even repayment in installments, in kind, and other ways to alleviate the urgent need. However, there are still some contract disputes are difficult to resolve.
It is worth noting that, according to the CFA regulations, July 31, the first batch of domestic professional clubs repayment deadline has passed, October 31, the second batch of repayment deadline will come. Part of the club has broken through the repayment of the "first pass", but can be required to solve the total amount of 70% of the unpaid wages so as to break through the "second pass" is still unknown.
From a practical point of view, clubs with serious financial crisis are mostly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the league. If they are penalized for non-payment of wages, the relegation pressure will be even greater. FIFA has recently reimposed a transfer and registration ban on individual clubs due to repeated contractual disputes over unpaid wages, and the CFA has been penalized with fines. Of greater concern is the integrity of the domestic professional league and its clubs, which has actually had a negative impact on the attraction of Chinese Super League clubs, especially the introduction of foreign aid.
