When discussing the issue of the Chinese Football Association's (hereinafter referred to as "CFA") adjustment fee, many fans are full of doubts. Why do some teams pay the fee according to the rules, while some teams are in arrears for a long time? As you may have guessed, it was Shanghai SIPG who introduced the foreign aid Arnautovic after the payment of the adjustment fee has not been resolved.
Frankly speaking, the FA's attitude towards this matter has been indifferent. Today, Li Xuan, the director of Soccer Newspaper China, has spoken out again, pleading with Chen Xuyuan, the chairman of the FA, to explain why Shanghai SIPG has not yet paid the foreign aid adjustment fee for Arnautovic.
This is despite the fact that Chen Xuyuan took office in 2019, while the foreign aid adjustment fee was a product of the previous policy established in 2018. However, the dispute over Arnautovic's adjustment fee occurred in 2019, so it is clear that such issues cannot be ignored during his tenure, regardless of who established the policy. This is especially true since Shandong Luneng, a state-owned enterprise, has paid the regulation fee in full!
Is it more important for SCOTUS to follow the rules more strictly just to avoid suspicion?
In dealing with the neutralization of the name of the problem, Shanghai SIPG is "wandering around the edge", the adjustment fee arrears of up to 150 million yuan, has not been paid. Imagine, if other teams appear such a situation, and will face what kind of punishment?
As a fan, I am deeply concerned that the FA has not been fair and impartial in these two matters.
