Sun: 4 overdue salary payments of & first team almost ran away... Xie may be punished with huge penalty on Wednesday
The Sun reported that Xie may be deducted points on Wednesday.
Xie Zhousan Club, who is in crisis, is informing the team's dissatisfied players that the acquisition is about to be completed, trying to prevent a large-scale departure. Several first-team players are still angry about the wage arrears and have the right to terminate the contract and leave the team under the terms, some of whom have begun to contact other clubs.
But club executives, including new coach Henrik Pederson, have assured the players that the new club will take over and will provide a new contract. The news behind the scenes shows that American businessman John Tuctor is a potential buyer, but his acquisition intention is still in its initial stages.
When the team challenged Leicester City in this round of away games to start the Championship season, core players such as captain Barry Bannan were informed of the news. However, insiders revealed that although the current boss Chaxili had negotiated with multiple interested parties, no agreement has been reached yet.
At the same time, the English Football League (EFL) officially confirmed that it would impose a penalty for deductions for Xie's multiple wage arrears on Wednesday. The club has now paid its salary four times overdue and may face heavy fines. The
Discipline Committee is hearing the case, and the specific penalty decision will be announced in the near future. It is interesting that this ruling failed to be announced before the team's first game. If Xie starts the season with a huge loss on Wednesday, against Leicester City, which is also facing punishment, it will put the EFL in an embarrassing situation.
