On the eve of the opening of the season's threshold, the Football Association has spared no effort to reiterate that it will enforce the threshold regulations with an iron fist, and resolutely discard those teams that are burdened with historical stains. However, there is always a distance between the ideal and the reality, and there are still many teams in the Chinese Super League that fail to pay their players' salaries in full and on time.

, which may be a reflection of the problem. In other words, if there are only ten teams left in the Super League in the new season that meet the threshold requirements, whether or not the Football Association will urgently recruit ten new troops from the lower leagues, this is undoubtedly a test of decisiveness for Song Kai and others. There are even fans who say that even if the ten teams pass the test, the current size of the tournament should be maintained, and the stringent threshold criteria should not be ignored.

Teams that defaulted on their wages often reached last-minute settlements with their players, and ultimately succeeded in signing them for the new season. According to this analysis, the results of this year's threshold audit may repeat the same mistake.
