In the 64th push, the Fat Driver of Sports takes you deeper into the discussion
Recently, Shanghai Harbour Club sparked a public outcry when they defaulted on the reinforcement mediation fee for bringing in Arnautovic in the summer of 2019.
I'm sure we all know a little bit more about the ins and outs of this matter.
Today, instead of looking back, we would like to delve into the issue of citation and mediation fees.
The face of the media reporter's question, the relevant leaders of the Football Association gave a colorful answer with the official: this is the last Football Association leaders to develop the guidelines, the original intention is certainly good, but the development is not detailed enough, too much to take for granted.
So, what happened next?
Sorry, the story ends here.
There is no explanation as to why Shanghai Harbor owes the mediation fee, or how other clubs that have paid the mediation fee handle the money, whether it is returned to the clubs or passed on to the National Football League Development Foundation; and there is no explanation as to why other clubs have not received invoices for the mediation fee after submitting it in a timely manner while Shanghai Harbor is allowed to keep on defaulting on the payment.
Isn't that bullying honest people?
Cai Zhenhua, the predecessor who is no longer in the sports circle, will have to take the blame for you; the National Football Development Foundation, which cannot get this income, will have to share the responsibility; and the other clubs, which have already paid the mediation fee, will have to suffer in silence.
The FA claim that this was the policy of their predecessor, so let's take a look at how long this policy has been enforced.
The introduction of the Citation Mediation Fee policy was introduced in the summer of 2017.
We've purposely sought out a full version of the implementation program's screenshots, and we recommend patience to read through them.
Revisiting these terms today, I still think this approach is just plain stupid.
There shouldn't be a second FA in the country that is so afraid of the big names that will join their league.
According to some friends in the legal profession, this approach may even violate the antitrust laws.
It does seem that we should accept the current FA's statement that "this approach was not carefully formulated and was taken for granted".
But surely this statement alone is not enough, should the FA not be a bit practical?
According to the FA's recent transfer window of several public announcements and some of the club staff, although the FA has not been able to find a reason to develop invoices, the National Football Development Foundation has never been able to move the money, but the vast majority of clubs in the submission of attraction mediation fee is still very conscientious - the money that should be paid, not a penny less.
This year, after the introduction of Shenzhen Jinteiro, also the first time to pay the mediation fee should be handed over to the Football Association.
Well, we might as well not ask Shanghai Harbour to actively hand over the outstanding mediation fees or ask the FA to give an explanation.
Anyway, the money is not available to the FA, there is no reason for the Foundation to receive it, and the invoices cannot be issued.
This year, all the investment bosses are experiencing the aftermath of the epidemic and their hands are tied. The Football Association has also said that the mediation fee policy is that of its predecessor, and although the original intention was good, it was not formulated in a detailed enough manner and was taken too much for granted.
The implication is that the good intentions of the predecessor have done a disservice and left behind legal risks. Now that this pay restraint order is so good, let us abolish this policy and resolutely follow the path of the pay restraint order.
From the introduction of this policy in the summer of 2017 until now, according to the FA's public announcements, the mediation fees collected previously totaled no less than €200 million.
The Football Association itself did not give the invoice, the probability should not be very much want to receive this money on the Hong Kong, then simply how to how to return, so that other clubs to engage in youth training to engage in the women's football, work in the present generation, the benefit in the autumn and the future.
It does not matter if the former wrong, our current leadership so wise and godly, hanging on to the horse, it is not too late to mend.
