The main theme of the Chinese Super League in the new season is still “maintaining stability”
The “salary limit policy” will continue to be used to “restore order, maintaining stability” is the overall goal of the league
2023 meeting of professional league club leaders and the summit of the leaders of the Super League, middle A and Middle B clubs will be held at Xianghe National team base on February 7. During the meeting, the chinese football association and the preparatory team of china football association will collect opinions from the club on the new season’s league entry policy, league registration and competition policy plan, and interpret the detailed rules of the policy plan. “Restoring the normal order of league matches and maintaining the stable environment of league matches” is the main goal of the work of professional league matches at all levels in the 2023th Super League and domestic league matches.
The Reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned that it is from the perspective of “maintaining stability” that the preparatory group of Chinese Football Association and China Football Association will not make substantial adjustments to the policies of the professional league in the new season, except that the “U23 local player policy” is highly likely to be abolished, the remaining policies remain basically unchanged. The “salary limit policy” implemented since the 2021 season will continue to be used.
The top priority of the Super League in the 2023 season
is to resume the normal operation of the event
last week, the Chinese Football Association once went to the Super League, the middle class, the clubs of China and Party B issued “notice on holding the meeting of directors of professional league clubs in 2023”. According to the notice, in order to do a good job in the preparations before the start of the 2023-season Super League, middle A and China B league, the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory group of China Football Association plan to hold a working meeting of the main leaders of the three-level league club. The contents of the meeting respectively involve “matters related to league admission policy; Matters related to league registration and competition policy; Matters related to league business; Other matters”.
The Reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that, in view of the influence of objective factors on the domestic league matches, they have experienced three extraordinary seasons in a row. During this period, whether it is the event organizer, or the club and all related aspects of the league have experienced unprecedented challenges and difficulties, and the normal order of the league has been disrupted to some extent. Therefore, the top priority of the 2023-season Super League and domestic professional league matches at all levels is undoubtedly to fully restore the normal operation of the competition, fully restore the main and away game system and the reasonable arrangement of the competition schedule, and attract fans to return to the competition site, let the league regain its vitality and vitality.
Of course, an important prerequisite for the league to get back on track is the effective governance of the league environment. In this case, it is particularly important to crack down on and curb the chaos such as the club’s back pay. The reason why the chinese football association and the preparatory group of china football association held the league work meeting at this time is to further emphasize that no matter how difficult the league and club operations are, the problem of “back pay” that has troubled all parties for a long time must be solved. For this reason, the organizers of the competition have made the worst plans for the “downsizing” of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese league, even “16 teams” or “18 teams” are used to design the schedule and closing time nodes of the Chinese Super League in the new season. This means that the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory team of China Football Association will confirm the scale of the league matches at all levels in the new season based on the principle of “rather lack than abuse.
The main problems of the preparatory work
focus on the club’s back pay
In fact, the main problems affecting the preparatory work process at all levels in the new season currently focus on the club’s share reform and back pay issues. Due to the deep financial or debt crisis, some clubs hesitated between “retreat” and “no retreat”. For this reason, the event organizers gave them time to solve the problem from the actual point of view, even consider opening up the “off-site transfer” restriction for the China-A and China-B clubs. However, no matter how the organizers understand and cooperate, completely solving the remaining unpaid wages and contract disputes is the “bottom line” that the club can not break through in the “customs clearance”.
After an extraordinary period or a difficult period, whether the domestic professional league matches can regain their vitality after breathing is the most important focus of event organizers, clubs and fans. Considering the actual situation and difficulties, the chinese football association and the china football association decided to maintain the “stability” of various league policies in the new season after investigating and collecting opinions from relevant parties “. It is reported that, like last season, the introduction of local players in the Chinese Super League, the Middle League and the Chinese league will not be restricted by the quota, and the foreign aid policy will remain unchanged. As for the implementation of the U23 local player policy for 6 seasons, after communication from all parties, it is highly likely to be abolished because it is deemed that “the harm is greater than the benefit.
The salary limit order remains unchanged for the time being
is a relatively rational choice
in recent days, rumors about “further salary limit in the Chinese Super League” have aroused the attention of all parties. However, according to a considerable number of club representatives, they did not receive an agenda notice about the adjustment of the content of the Xianghe conference. A representative of the event organizer confirmed to the reporter of Beiqing daily that “the content of salary limit is not included in the discussion scope of this meeting”. It is reported that considering that the main problem that troubles professional leagues at all levels is “back pay”, therefore, for “limited pay”, the chinese football association, the preparatory group of China Football Association will follow the “Enhanced Edition salary limit order” launched since the 2021 season “. Specific to the Super League club, it is still that the total investment of each single season should not exceed 0.6 billion yuan, the total salary of local players should not exceed 75 million yuan, and the total salary of foreign players should not exceed 10 million euros. The top salary of local players is limited to 5 million yuan before tax, while that of foreign players is 3 million euros before tax. The average annual salary of local players shall not exceed 3 million yuan before tax, and the average annual salary of foreign players shall not exceed 1.5 million euros.
It is understood that although some clubs have strong demands for “further salary limit” due to their own operational difficulties, in fact, most clubs have encountered different levels of operational difficulties in the past three seasons, and the recruitment investment has decreased significantly year by year. Similar to the “Shenfeng” canter and other Chinese Super League New Aid introduced by Cangzhou Lion last season, they even landed in the Super League with zero transfer price. Some Chinese Super League Foreign Aid Single season involves only about 100000 dollars. Therefore, even if there is no external policy to limit it, most clubs have returned to rationality in terms of recruitment, the trend of “throttling” or “tighten the money supply” may continue to 2023 seasons or even later.
In addition, according to the current “salary limit order”, each club has been “cap” in terms of single-season investment and domestic and foreign aid salary investment “, that is to say, each family can independently choose new aid of low, medium and high price segments within the scope permitted by the” input cap. Since the chinese super league will start in the middle and late april at the earliest in the new season, most clubs have started the work of finding new aid at this moment, and some have even entered the critical period of negotiation or signing. If the salary limit order is suddenly adjusted at this time, then it is bound to adversely affect these cooperation and even add chaos to the club, which is contrary to the original intention of the event organizers to restore the league order and maintain the stability of the league environment. Thus it can be seen that it is a relatively rational choice for the limited salary order to remain unchanged temporarily. Wen/Our reporter Xiao Yi
