Former CEO of Rostov Yuri Belous talked about the appointment Paul Ashworth sporting director of Spartak.
To be honest, when I first read that an Englishman could become a Spartak sports leader, I hoped it was a fake. I believe that the public and the fans have the right to receive an answer from the club’s management on what criteria this specialist has been appointed to such a high position.
Ashworth has not gained any fame for his professional activities. If they took into account that his brother works in England … Well, I don’t know. Now, as we can see, hardly any players come to us from Europe. And how to pay for such transactions under the conditions of the penalties? As a result, our clubs have turned their attention to the Latin American market.
Does Ashworth understand this? Big question … When you call a person in such a solid club, you need to gather all the information about him. What do we hear? A criminal case has been opened against him in Kazakhstan. Strange, right? Which indicate clear criteria on the basis of which this choice was made.
Russia does not have its specialists who know our market, the market of countries CSI, the Latin American market? Commenting on Spartak’s personnel policy, I can only shrug … Time passes, nothing changes.
