There will be no more "overspending"
(Baonghean.vn) In recent days, a series of player transfer deals in V.League have fallen through at the last minute - something that rarely happened in previous seasons.
First is the case of national player Quang Thanh. According to the memorandum of understanding between Saigon Football Club and this player, the club will spend nearly 10 billion VND (including a signing bonus and the remaining 2-year contract redemption of Quang Thanh with Binh Duong), plus a salary of more than 60 million VND/month to have Quang Thanh's service for 3 years.
Although it was a "branded product" but the price was high, Glen (31) had to pack up and return home.
It was thought that this would be the most sensational transfer deal in the history of Vietnamese football.
Then Nhu Thanh had to pack up and return to the ancient capital to ask Mr. Truong to add him to the list of players participating in V.League 2012. At SLNA, although they had "checked" and signed a memorandum of understanding with striker Glen, a national team player of Trinidad and Tobago, when signing the contract, this player proposed a salary that was too high, leading to the two sides not finding a common voice. In the end, Glen had to say goodbye to SLNA early after a long trial period... There are many other cases that seemed to be about to land at new teams with a generous salary and a decent signing bonus, but in the end, they ended up in a situation where "it's hard to leave, but it's hard to stay".
Buying, selling, and transferring is like that, but what about bonuses? At the recent General Meeting of Shareholders of Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), the bosses agreed to limit the bonus ceiling to 500 million VND for each winning match. Mr. Kien, the initiator of this, said: "In recent years, the bonuses of the clubs have exceeded control and are no longer suitable for the current situation of Vietnamese football, leading to a situation where the owners almost have to buy their own players to play and that is no longer a sporting act."
These are moves that demonstrate the determination and correct calculation of the bosses and clubs in spending money to make "clean football". There will no longer be the "breaking the safe" and "dumping prices" that shake up the transfer market like in previous seasons, everything has gradually returned to its true value. Previously, just an attractive "excerpt" and an introduction from a "broker" were enough for clubs to immediately sign a contract with a player, for fear that if they were slow, another team would "snatch" them. Then after a win, the boss would be happy to reward billions of dong in cash... But now, it seems that everything will be different.
