VietNamNet Bridge – On October 1, Mr. Do Quang Hien or Boss Hien told the media that he had withdrawn the whole capital in the two sports companies - T & T and SHB Da Nang Sports JSCs.

Boss Hien’s ownership of two FCs inspected

However, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has not received any reports from Hien about the capital withdrawal and continues to investigate the relationship between Hien and the two football clubs - Hanoi T & T and SHB Da Nang.

Earlier, after VFF sent a written request to Hien, asking him to clarify his relationship with the two FCs, the boss negated his management of the two FCs, and even the Hanoi Club, which has just promoted from the First Division Tournament to the V-League.
 
Hien also said that he would propose and submit to the Board of Directors the plan to withdraw the entire capital of the T & T Group at the T & T and SHB Da Nang Sports JSCs.

At present, the SHB Bank has 11 percent stake in the SHB Da Nang Sports JSC while the T & T Group holds 15 percent stake in the T & T Sports JSC.

With his arguments, Hien has confirmed that he is just a normal donor, not the boss of these FCs as people think. Hien also confirmed that he personally does not sponsor the two teams.
 
Hien’s move has put VFF in a difficult circumstance. The Federation established an inspection team and asked for the cooperation of the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The chief inspector of the Sports Inspectorate Tran Quang Vinh led an inspection team to Da Nang city to verify whether Hien is the real boss of the SHB Da Nang FC or not. After that, the inspection team will go to Hanoi to work with the Hanoi T & T FC, to verify ownership of Hien in this team.
 
The results have not been disclosed but an inspector revealed that the conclusion would be released soon, preferably before the VFF Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled on October 7.
 
Many people believe that Hien is certainly wise enough to prove his "pureness", because it is difficult to clarify his impacts on shareholders of the two companies. This will force VFF to ask for the intervention of a higher level body - the Southeast Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in the next few days.
