Wuhan Yangtze River is in a worrying situation, according to Li Xuan, a reporter from the soccer newspaper, who disclosed that the team is in the predicament of registering new players with no hope of participation. According to Li Xuan, "Wuhan Changjiang are experiencing unprecedented difficulties, similar to the situation of Zibo Cuju. Previously, they were banned from attracting reinforcements by the Football Association due to the unpaid wages of their former coaching team. In the lead-up to the 2022 season, the club applied to the CFA for a stay of execution of the 'ban on registering new players' penalty and put forward a repayment plan involving not only the arrears of the former coaching team, but also other payments." Wuhan Changjiang FC also promised to accept appropriate penalties if they fail to fulfill their commitments on time. One of them is that new players registered during the original penalty period (the winter transfer window at the beginning of the season) will not be allowed to play until the penalty is over. As a result, this year's new players were able to join the team. However, the club has failed to fulfill its promise, and as of August 1, new players registered during the original penalty period will not be allowed to play. Although the team can still make up the number of players to participate in the game, but the operating pressure is huge, Wuhan Zall Group can not afford the related costs, the next two days will decide whether to solve this problem. If the issue cannot be resolved, the club may not be disbanded, but it is likely that it will have to rely on its existing players to put together a lineup for the tournament, and all of its new players, including the new foreign aid introduced this year, will not be able to play. Even if they are able to compete properly, the team will have to maximize savings and the club staff is at a standstill. Although the club's operating expenses are not high this year after a name change and a significant pay cut, the burden of past lawsuits and arrears is heavy, and if the arrears cannot be resolved, the club will face a deduction of three points for the first time and six points for the second. If the foreigners are unable to play, the team will inevitably be relegated even if they cobble together a lineup and stick with the game. In the first phase of the Chinese Super League, Wuhan Changjiang won 4, drew 1, and lost 5 of their 10 matches, accumulating 13 points and currently ranking 11th.
