Former CEO of Spartak Yuri Zavarzin believe that shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of the Moscow club Leonid Fedun he will leave him after the oil company Lukoil is nationalized.
At the beginning mass media Rumors have surfaced several times that Fedun will leave Spartak soon and the club will be managed by the general sponsor, Lukoil. Zavarzin worked at Spartak in 1997-2001.
Anyone who comes with a financial grant should run the club. People will come to keep Spartak afloat, they have to trust whoever works with them. So, I think the club will have its own managers associated with the new owners.
I think this is directly related to Lukoil. As soon as the oil company is nationalized, Fedun will leave. In which hands Spartak will fall, I don’t know. But together with the club they will probably take away the stadium, the base and the academy. Alekperov and Fedun will not need these resources, because they have to maintain the infrastructure, and this is a very expensive pleasure.
No one in the world has ever made money from football itself. Barcelona, Real Madrid and other giants are heavily in debt, they all make money on things next to football. Take Abramovich himself. When he bought Chelsea, in fact, he was not known to anyone but the inhabitants of Chukotka. But in the end he spent several billion pounds on the English club and has now become a figure known all over the world.
