In the past, Shanghai Shenhua soccer, like a bright pearl, set in the Shencheng soccer map, become the emotional support of countless Shanghai citizens. Since the Greenland Group took over, the team won two

Laurels, the courage to break into the Asian Champions League, these brilliant achievements can not be separated from the parent company's sustained and determined commitment.
Today, however, the Greenland Group is experiencing operational challenges, but if the path to shareholding reform is clear, whether it is to be changed or not, it will at least point the way for all members to follow. If the decision is made to change, then swift action should be taken; if the status quo is maintained, Greenland should take full control and at least develop a strategy for resolving the current team's woes, both in terms of timing and methodology, to ensure that the issues are progressively resolved.
But now, the Shenhua club lacks clear guidelines, do not know when can usher in substantial progress, can only wait silently, "suffering" waiting.
Shenhua faces a dilemma not only in the operation of the first team, but also covers the multi-line echelon.

At the peak of gold dollar soccer, Shenhua's investment in the Chinese Super League was in the middle of the pack, requiring about 700-800 million.

Shenhua FC is at the crossroads of share reform, and is in dire need of clear guidance: will it go ahead with the share reform, or will the Greenland Group continue to support it independently? This will be the key to solving all the problems. From the club's point of view, the only hope is that there are still teams in the Chinese Super League that owe Shenhua tens of millions of dollars in player transfer fees. If the money can be recovered, Shenhua may be able to get through the July 31 this difficult. If it can not be recovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.
