Last season, Suning Group, the operator of Jiangsu Suning Club, the champion of Super League, announced its withdrawal from operation, which made the Jiangsu team face the situation of dissolution. The Football Association also issued a statement at the first time, expressing regret over the withdrawal of Suning Group. What caused Suning Group to withdraw? Whether it is the economic problems caused by the epidemic or the neutral name policy of the China Football Association, operators have lost interest in continuing to invest, no matter what the real reason is. China Football Association must bear part of the responsibility in this incident. The professionalization of football in China has been going on for decades, and the management confusion has gained enough attention in the whole professionalization process, which has pushed the China Football Association to the forefront again and again.

At the beginning of the professionalization of football in China, all the teams were invested and established by provincial enterprises. The team names of Beijing Guoan, Tianjin TEDA, Henan Jianye, Shanghai Shenhua and Dalian Wanda are all witnesses to the whole process of professionalization, and they have experienced ups and downs since the beginning of professionalization. However, a regulation of China Football Association has conveyed the request of changing the club's neutral name to all clubs, and all clubs are struggling in this difficult time. In order to keep their only interests, every club has made great efforts. In the end, many clubs kept the names of their provinces to distinguish the regions where each team belongs, completely giving up the idea of continuing to support them.

The salary limit order of China Football Association directly obliterates the planning and deployment of the club in the past few years. Those international big-name stars who signed at a high price left one after another under the pressure of the salary limit order, which made the investment of various clubs hit Shui Piao. In fact, the salary limit order is beneficial to China football in the long run, but its promulgation and implementation are too blunt, and it does not take a slow and differentiated treatment, giving each club a chance to change careers. In the end, it brought huge losses to all investors. If the China Football Association adopted a step-by-step approach and finally achieved the goal of salary limitation through a long-term adjustment, it would not have caused such a great loss to the club.

The management ability of China Football Association has been criticized in the process of professionalization for decades, and its ability to formulate policies and promote implementation is not satisfactory. However, with the change of environment in recent two years, this management defect has been enlarged. If China football wants to return to the peak of Asia and shout out the slogan of rushing out of Asia to the world, the management ability of the Football Association must be deeply reflected and planned, otherwise it will just enter an infinite loop.
