On the evening of January 6th, Beijing time, Guangzhou FC, the "8-time champions" of the Chinese Super League, announced that due to heavy historical debts and insufficient funds raised for repayment, they ultimately failed to make the entry list of the Football Association and declared their withdrawal from China's professional football league.
After the official dissolution of Guangzhou FC, former player Wei Shihao was criticized by many fans on the "hot search" for his controversial behavior last month when he questioned the eligibility of Guangzhou FC for entry into the Football Association. Many Guangzhou FC fans blamed Wei Shihao for the club's dissolution, accusing him of being an "ingrate" and ungrateful.
In response, famous journalist Song Chengliang also commented on this matter, believing that Wei Shihao was somewhat wronged for being chased and scolded by Guangzhou fans, after all, his report was not the fundamental reason for Guangzhou FC's dissolution.
Song Chengliang bluntly stated: "Actually, there is no necessary connection. The spokesperson for the Chinese Football Association clearly stated in an interview with the official media that the management level of the Football Association does not recognize your Guangzhou FC's ability to repay debts in the future, so they did not allow you to pass the entry."
However, the famous reporter also frankly said that after reporting on his old club, Wei Shihao's current situation is also very embarrassing, which is of no benefit to him and may even result in a lose-lose situation: "Of course, for Wei Shihao and others, it's quite awkward now. Originally, there was at least a small possibility of getting some money through installment payments, but now there is zero possibility."
According to previous revelations from domestic media, Guangzhou FC owes Wei Shihao about 2.52 million RMB in salary.
