Liaoning Football Club[2] (simplified Chinese: 辽宁
The club can predate their formation to 1953 when the local Shenyang government sports body joined existing club Northeast China to play in the Chinese national football league. By 1956 the league was gradually expanding and regional sports institutes were allowed their own representatives, which eventually formed Liaoning Football Club. The club won several league titles as well as the 1989–90 Asian Club Championship when they beat Nissan Yokohama in the final making Liaoning FC the first Chinese club to win an Asian club championship trophy. Since February 26, 1994 the current football team was established to be an entirely professional football club so they could play in the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League season making them one of the founding members of the first fully professional top tier league in China.
According to Forbes, Liaoning are the 10th most valuable football team in China, with a team value of $67 million, and an estimated revenue of $14 million in 2015.[5]
History
Early club era
The football club can predate their formation to 1953 when the local Shenyang government sports body joined existing club Northeast China to play in the recently created Chinese national football league. In 1954 Guo Hongbin (

Professionalism
On February 26, 1994 Liaoning was re-established as a professional unit as a result of the Chinese football reform, which was the Chinese Football Association looking to professionalize the whole of the Chinese football league.[18] The club would take part in the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League season, making them a founding member of the first fully professional top tier league in China. While private businesses were allowed to own or sponsor football clubs for the first time Liaoning had already spearheaded the reform in 1988 when they were the first ever Chinese club to gain any form of sponsorship when the Pharmaceutical Enterprise Group sponsored them within that season.[19] Liaoning's transition toward full professionalism was difficult compared to their peers and the developments of their rivials saw them achieve only one victory in their first four games, which resulted in Yang Yumin resigning from his post as manager. The clubs struggles would continue on October 23, 1994 when their first major signing within the professional era Jiang Feng was caught stamping on Shanghai Shenhua player Wu Chengying in a league game that saw him banned by the CFA for the rest of the season.[20] At the end of the season they finished the league in fourth and for the first time in ten seasons they were unable to achieve any silverware.[21]
Cao Guojun
In the 1995 Chinese league season Liaoning's reign as China's dominant football club officially came to end when they were defeated by Guangzhou Apollo 2–1 on November 12, 1995 and were relegated for the first time in their history to the second tier.[22] Within the campaign the influential Chinese Football Association Footballer of the Year winner Li Bing was sold for a then Chinese record fee of 640,000 Yuan to Guangdong Hongyuan and the clubs results suffered due to his absence.[23] On June 14, 1995 the clubs manager Wang Hongli was replaced by the former Liaoning player Li Shubin in his first Head coach position, however he was unable to make a difference and was relieved of his duties at the end of the season. In the wake of the disappointment private investor Cao Guojun (曹国
In the 1999 league season former Liaoning youth team coach Zhang Yin was already appointed as the clubs manager and under his reign he continued to promote youth players such as Li Jinyu, Li Tie, Wang Liang and Zhao Junzhe into the senior team.[28] His faith within his young players would be extremely successful and Liaoning became genuine title contenders and came runners-up to Shandong Luneng by a single point.[29] Initially the team hoped they could build upon their runners-up spot by winning the leagues opening showpiece event the Chinese FA Super Cup, however this would be dashed on April 26, 2000 when team mates Zhang Yuning and Qu Leheng were involved in a serious car accident. It was discovered that Zhang was drink driving while taking some team mates and friends home, however while Zhang sustained minor injuries his team mate Qu Leheng sustained serious injuries, which resulted in Qu being left a paraplegic and consigned to a wheelchair for life. Qu would go on to successfully sue Zhang 2.34 million yuan (282,000 US dollars) for compensation on November 22, 2004. Zhang would also go on to make a public apology to Qu and despite publicly believing that the compensation was especially high he decided to abnegate his right to ask for a retrial.[30] The incident and subsequence trail would cause irrevocable damage to the clubs season, which resulted in Zhang Yin leaving the team and eventually Wang Hongli returning to the club once again to steer the club to an eighth-place finish.[31] The incident would coincide with the sell off of the club with the Liaoning Youth team sold for 28,000,000 RMB to the Hongyun Group and Huludao Jiuxing Ltd on December 26, 2001 to form Huludao Whowin.[32] This was followed by a relocation to the Olympic Sports Centre in Beijing at the start of the 2002 league season on finicial grounds, however the club returned to their hometown the following campaign.[33] The striker Li Jinyu, winner of the 2002 Chinese Golden boot award was then sold to Shandong Luneng for a Chinese record 4,900,000 Yuan.[34] By March 7, 2006 the club would admit that they were in debt and were looking to sell the club.[35]
Wang Yi
On August 4, 2006 Liaoning Sport Technology College officially became the clubs major shareholder.[36] On August 20, 2006 the Hongyun Group also became a majority shareholder within the team and eventually brought in Wang Yi (
