schema:articleBody	Fallen Asian giants Liaoning Hongyun bid farewell to their fans and apologised after they were among 11 clubs disqualified from Chinese football because of financial problems. Chinese Super League (CSL) club Tianjin Tianhai folded earlier this month and now Liaoning, a traditional powerhouse in China, have similarly dissolved. Liaoning, based in the northeastern city of Shenyang, were Asian champions in 1990 and dominated Chinese football from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s. But in an arc that typifies the boom-and-bust nature of Chinese football, not helped by the coronavirus shutdown, Liaoning have fallen on hard times lately and finished one place off the foot of China's second division last season. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) threw them out of the professional leagues on Saturday, along with 10 other cash-strapped clubs who owed players wages, and in a subsequent statement the club said it would fold. "The spirit of Liaoning football stands for self-improvement and never gives up," Liaoning, founded in 1953, said on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform. "The club has left, but the spirit of Liaoning football lives on. "We sincerely thank all the fans from all walks of life who have supported and loved Liaoning Football Club for many years -- the media, government leaders, sponsors and so on. "We express deep regret and we apologise." Liaoning were ranked the 10th most valuable team in China by Forbes in 2015-2016, worth $67 million. In 2016 they splashed out 11.5 million euros on Nigerian striker Anthony Ujah from Werder Bremen. But the club fell out of the top-tier CSL in 2017. The players received none of their salaries last year, former chairman Huang Yan admits, and have launched legal action to recoup their earnings. Shenzhen FC, coached by AC Milan legend Roberto Donadoni, will replace Tianjin in the CSL this season. The campaign was supposed to kick off on February 22 but has been indefinitely postponed because of the coronavirus. pst/dma/th
