On December 3, veteran sports reporter Niu Zhiming disclosed that a sudden change of heart had allowed the Tai'an Tianqiao team to take a breather, and it had successfully avoided the initial wave of strikes in debt settlement.
Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) unveiled a high-profile list of the first batch of clubs to complete their debt settlement, which included three top-flight CSL, six Chinese A-League and four Chinese B-League teams. Niu took to social media platforms to share his latest observations on the Taian Tianqiao team:
It is reported that the access process of Tai'an Tianqiao team is progressing steadily. In the face of the special situation, the team is closely communicating with the Football Association to push forward the relevant access matters. The team members have been assembled and are fully preparing for the upcoming winter training. At the same time, the selection of the new coach is in full swing. In the new season, Tai'an Tianqiao team will continue to work hard and strive for better results.
