On August 8, a piece of news in the soccer circle set off waves. The Wuhan Yangtze River Club submitted a new arbitration certificate, and the Football Association then opened a review process, deciding to "suspend the execution" of the original punishment. This move, according to the New Beijing News, is a challenge to the credibility of the industry's administrators.
Back to July 31, Zibo Cuju, Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, Hunan Xiangtao and other clubs failed to clear the arrears of wages on time, was reinstated "prohibited from registering new players" punishment, the new season of the newly registered players can not debut. In this context, Wuhan Yangtze River Club also failed to implement the arbitration award on time, whether it can be used in the 11th round of Super League matches, the use of newly introduced players, has become the focus.
Lin Li's lawyer revealed that the cases of three players' unpaid wages and five coaches and two staff members she represented had rulings in which Wuhan Changjiang Club admitted that it owed money and had sufficient evidence. These 10 cases have nothing to do with Li Tie's case, nor with Li Tie's coaching in the national team.
However, with the submission of new evidence from Wuhan Changjiang FC, the FA initiated a review and decided to suspend the penalty. In this regard, the New Beijing News pointed out that the FA's overturning of its own industry arbitration rules without institutional support is not only damaging to credibility, but also extremely unfair to other clubs. For Chinese soccer is in trouble, abide by the rules should be fundamental.
