Tianhai’s unpaid salary for three months, sponsorship is still “on the way”

On April 25, some media reported that the Tianjin Tianhai team players have not yet received 3 months of salary in the first quarter of this year. Current investors in the Tianhai Club are understood to have explained the progress of the “Wanting to take over or sponsor the club” issue and the reasons for the slowdown in salary payment, and informed team members that the salary involved before 20 March The investor bears it, and then Wantong bears the cost. Because the Super League company has confirmed that the league entry fee distributed last season to Super League clubs has not been established due to procedural reasons, furthermore, Wantong needs to confirm that the Tianhai Club has obtained qualification for the Super League in the new season before it can issue specific funds, thus causing players. Wages are delayed.

According to relevant media reports, the Tianhai Club should have paid the last salary to the players on April 10, but so far, the Tianhai team players have not received a penny of salary in the first three months of the year. It is understood that the Tianhai Club pays players the monthly salary of the players on the 10th of each month. The actual salary payable on April 10 is the March salary.

Due to the delay in receiving the salary, the individual players sent a letter to the Tianhai Club through the agent representative, hoping to implement the payment of the player salary as soon as possible. The relevant person from the club explained on the 25th that the current investor of the club has twice reported on the progress of cooperation between the club and Wantong and the sponsorship of the club by the latter. The last of these notifications occurred on the 14th of this month. During the briefing, investors also explained to the team the reasons for the three-month salary delay in the first quarter of this year. The report also indicated that, in accordance with the consensus reached by all parties, the club’s current investor will assume the players ‘salary before March 20, and the players’ salary will be assumed by Wantong as the club’s sponsor.

At the Super League shareholder meeting on April 9, the distribution plan for the second entry fee (commonly known as dividends) of Super League clubs in the 2019 season was clarified. According to the plan, each club The Super League will receive an average fee of approximately 15 million yuan. The Tianhai Club, which has been hit by the economic crisis, also plans to use part of this fee to pay the players’ first three-month salary this year. However, it is understood that due to procedural factors, the aforementioned “dividends” have not yet been credited to the Tianhai Club account. And this rate is expected to be in force next week as soon as possible, which means that Tianhai team members have to wait a few days.

As for when the Tianhai players’ three-month salary is paid, you should look at the admission results of the Tianhai Club. From the perspective of companies’ normal interests in business investment, Wantong agreed to sponsor the Tianhai Club on the premise that the latter confirmed qualification for the Super League in the new season. However, if a number of remaining Tianhai Club issues, including some original coaches and player disputes, are not resolved, how can the Chinese Football Association allow access to Tianhai? In the context of the interaction of several factors, there is still no specific concept of the calendar for solving a series of related problems. Text / Reporter Xiao Zhi
