Today, the China Super League Club Investor Meeting was held in Suzhou. Although all participants had to hand in their mobile phones, and meeting materials were not allowed to be taken away, several important topics discussed at the meeting were revealed through the media.
According to reports, the Chinese Football Association has announced to the representatives of the Super League clubs the specific rules for the "increased salary limit" for Chinese and foreign players. In the 2021 season, the total single-season expenditure of each club in the Super League shall not exceed 600 million yuan, of which the highest salaries for local players and foreign players shall not exceed 75 million yuan and 10 million euros respectively. The maximum salary of local players is 5 million yuan before tax, and the maximum salary of foreign players is 3 million euros before tax.
In order to ensure that the salary limit work is practical and effective, the Chinese Football Association has introduced meticulous and strict supervision measures, accompanied by unprecedented disciplinary measures: According to regulations, if the total amount of club spending in a single season in the Super League exceeds the standard, the excess rate is 20% If the score is less than 6 league points, 12 points will be deducted if the excess rate is between 20% and 40%. If there are any clubs that exceed the standard, they will face a heavy penalty of up to 24 points.
There are also corresponding penalties for the club’s single-season player salary expenditure exceeding the standard: If a club’s total foreign aid salary expenditure in a single season exceeds the upper limit of 10 million euros, then 9 league points will be deducted; local player expenditures if it exceeds 75 million If the total salary of Chinese and foreign players exceeds the limit, then the club faces a heavy penalty of 18 points deduction. In addition, if a club pays compensation in violation of the rules, once it is verified, the club will be cancelled and the club will be given the ultimate penalty of downgrade. If a player fails to declare income (income) as required, once verified, he will face a 24-month suspension.
After talking about the salary limit, let's talk about the rumors of name change.
According to "Football" newspaper news, the neutralization of the Chinese Super League club name is also an important issue at today's meeting. At present, only the Dalian club is qualified, and all other clubs need to be changed to neutral names next year.
Previously, long-established football clubs like Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan and Henan Jianye had the opportunity to retain this name and become a neutral name. However, the current situation seems that these names may not be recognized by the Chinese Football Association.
If Luneng really can't stay, why do you want our team to be renamed?
