Encouragingly, there is a ray of hope for the Guangzhou team's access issue. According to several media reports, after some twists and turns, many players who had filed lawsuits against the Guangzhou team have chosen to withdraw their cases. This development has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the Guangzhou team's accelerated access. But at the same time, the Football Association is still cautious about Guangzhou's entry. Even if the players have withdrawn their lawsuit, the FA may still be on high alert for possible future debt problems of the Guangzhou team. Whether or not the players will re-file their lawsuit at some point in the future will undoubtedly bring uncertainty to the course of the league.

In the face of this situation, Guangzhou's fans are in high spirits. In retrospect, the Guangzhou team has invested the most in the FA adjustment fees. If these adjustment fees could be refunded as much as they were, the Guangzhou team's operation could be maintained for at least a few years. However, this fee was squandered in the hands of the previous FA leadership, and those officials who are behind bars are afraid that it is difficult to expect the current FA to return this fee to the Guangzhou team. The likelihood of that happening is almost negligible.

As a matter of fact, the anxiety of Guangzhou fans is not an isolated case, Beijing's and Shandong's fans are also worried about this. Adjustment fee has become a thing of the past, the money has been irretrievable. At present, the only way for the team to solve the financial problems is to rely on its own efforts, as well as the strong support of the community, local governments and enterprises. We look forward to the Guangzhou team, and also other clubs facing difficulties, to work together to overcome the difficulties.
