Why are the top executives of the Football Association convinced that Guangzhou is unable to settle its debts? The answer may be hidden in two incidents. Firstly, when Chen Dui showed up at the Guangzhou Men's Football Club wearing a mask, he witnessed the hardship of the team's life, and then decided to return the original $80 million adjustment fee in full, with the intention of relieving the team's immediate needs. The funds originally belonged to the parent company of the Guangzhou men's soccer team, but the parent company transferred the funds to real estate, resulting in the Guangzhou men's soccer team not being able to actually access the funds even after the FA refunded all the adjustment fees.
Secondly, let's look at why the sell-out Wuhan Sanzhen was able to return to the game. Some reports have pointed out that Tri-Town is also burdened with debt. Sanzhen was able to return against the odds thanks to the strong support of the local government and fans. On the contrary, Guangzhou Men's Football is currently focusing on supporting Guangzhou Leopards, while its parent company is unwilling to give up control of the club, which puts Guangzhou Men's Football in an awkward situation, which has also become the trigger for its withdrawal from the soccer circle.
