Due to the delay in submitting additional materials for admission, Tianjin Tianhai and the Chinese Super League moved away. It is worth mentioning that this is Tianhai's second "self-help" recently. On March 9, Tianhai players and coaches wrote to Tianjin Sports Bureau and Tianjin Football Association, hoping to help Tianhai find new investors and help them continue to participate in the Chinese Super League.
On March 5, Tianjin Tianhai issued an announcement to transfer the entire shareholding of the club to 0 yuan, saying that the club may have difficulty maintaining normal operation throughout the season, and it has reached a critical moment of life and death. Decided to recruit suitable transfer objects, the club will transfer 100% equity of the club with zero transfer fee. The club's valuation is 640 million to 770 million yuan.

Since then, Tianjin Tianhai reached an agreement with Wantong Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wantong Holdings") on March 12th, which will own the entire equity of Tianjin Tianhai. However, some media have recently revealed that the negotiations between the two sides have not been smooth, and the contradictions on financial and other issues have always been irreconcilable. Judging from the current results, Wantong finally made the decision to withdraw.
Although the start of the Chinese Super League in the new season has not yet been determined, it is certain that Tianjin Tianhai will face a huge test if it wants to stay in the Chinese Super League. There is really little time left for them now. (Finish)
