The President of the Moscow “Torpedo” Ilya Gerkus angered the fans of the team, who accuse him of appointing Marat Fattakhov to the leading position of the Lokomotiv fan.

Herkus has been working at Torpedo since July, and before that he served as president and CEO of Lokomotiv from 2016 to 2018.

– The story with the fictional illness of Talalaev (or rather, with his problems with the previous club) has not yet ended, how Herkus screwed up again and took a new employee to a senior position, and here the fun begins. Of course, there is no news on the official resources of the club, because the whole situation is a real fire.

Now Fattakhov Marat, a fan of Lokomotiv, who has worked in the Cherkizovo club for 22 years, who was at the origins of the creation of the enemy “movement,” will be responsible for the strategic development of Torpedo, as he himself repeatedly stated in an interview. How is that at all? We do not undertake to assess the moral qualities of a person who agreed to go to work in an enemy club, but the word “principles” is clearly unfamiliar to him.

It is unacceptable for us to have this person in the Torpedo structure in any position, just as it is unacceptable that the club is run by a person who does not honor our principles and traditions, placing himself above public opinion.

We call on the club’s shareholders to remove Gerkus and Fattakhov from their positions! — said in a statement in the Telegram channel ZAPAD-5 ULTRAS.

Fattakhov stepped down as commercial director of Lokomotiv in November 2020. At the moment, there is no information on the Torpedo website about the appointment of Fattakhov to any post. Herkus has been working at Torpedo since July of this year.
