In Russia it is necessary to license the heads of clubs. Otherwise it will be like in Khimki

It is strange to see how Torpedo, Ural and the football team, dear to the heart of deputy Teryushkov, have been suffering lately. There is an obvious solution, an iron recipe, why not use it? One team suffered, did not know how to expel the disease. But they locked her in the base, and look at the table?! Two victories in a row, like a grandmother whispered. Why pull, Khimki? Someone is poking needles into your stuffed animal, and you are eating your own tail in dismay. Only the base, only hardcore, and everything will work out even under Pisarev, even under Gisdol, if he returns to us more than expected.

The Board of Founders, of course, knows better. Perhaps, castling Yuran – Pisarev – Yuran is quite a planned action. Shake it up, you know, shake it up, and all that. To manage a club is not to fool around, here a strategy is needed, the ability to puzzle. Now go and study the drawing of the Khimki game. Pain of analysts, tactical mystery.

Wise men, however, I would like to know by name. Who are they, the board of founders of Khimki? Google. Zero output. Neither the composition nor the number. The club website only has its charter, approved on August 20, 2020. A new edition, by the way, although since then events and newer ones have happened in Khimki. The document says: “The founder of the institution” (!) is the city district of Khimki represented by its administration. The functions and powers of the founder on behalf of the administration are carried out by the department of physical culture and sports of the Khimki urban district.

Does this mean that tomorrow the fate of Pisarev and Juran will be decided by city officials, accountants and PT instructors? Unknown. The Board of Founders may either consist of founders or have nothing to do with them. Who will forbid self-naming itself as it pleases an organ, the provision of which does not exist in nature?

But the Khimki supervisory board is written in their charter. It must include six people. From the founder, from the public, from the owner, from the club’s employees. We plunge into a slight confusion, trying to comprehend which particular organ is going on Wednesday. According to Roman Teryushkov, there is a board of founders, but he himself is on the supervisory board. Really will begin to sit without it? Or Teryushkov in both councils?

And where then is Tufan Allahverdi oglu Sadigov, who is called the main investor of Khimki, but who himself from this resolutely denies? And where, by the way, is the president of the club Dmitry Voloshin, he is also the mayor of Khimki, indicated on website club? Has anyone heard of important football presidential decisions?

By the way, Khimki’s supervisory board, enshrined in the charter, is not listed on the website for some reason. Dedicated page for this body virgin black.

Not even Teryushkov is mentioned.

But we are talking about Khimki. Who and what drives there, can you see everyone? Tufan Sadigov, I know, was privately asked why he needed a club. They did not hear the answer, but it is there, it cannot but be. Does it make you love football to spend much more than you earn, as was already the case in Olymp-Dolgoprudny? Is the carousel of coaches dictated by the desire to bring the club to self-sufficiency?

The surname Sadygov is often mentioned in the context of his son Ilya’s performance for Khimki. Because of him, they say, all the tectonic faults in the club. But there are plenty of equally interesting topics. Have you noticed that referee Aleksey Matyunin has not officiated matches for some time now? He was suspended exactly after the April game between Khimki and Wings (4:1). Without official wording, but with unequivocal suspicion.

However, the judge could not interest himself, there must be a second party in the case. And it’s definitely not “Wings” with such and such a score. And definitely not Khimki’s competitors in the fight for survival, since it makes no sense to stimulate the result, and so necessary for one of the participants in the match.

Then who? Observers, founders, club president, investors – all in good health, good ignorance, continue to function. Matyunin? No, you didn’t, what happened? We have more important things to do here, sorry. We change coaches, give credit of trust until the middle of the second half. Fail – goodbye.

Meanwhile, landing at the base, patented by Lokomotiv, would solve all problems. “Lokomotiv” knows, swam. There was a time when the names of the members of his board of directors were also announced in secret in smoking rooms, as some of them were slightly banned from sports. But that’s okay, we went through the crucible, changed a bunch of managers and coaches, and now two games are in great order. The base is invigorating.

It is only important to understand who to lock on it. There has been talk for a long time about issuing licenses to club managers. A, B, Pro and so on. Do you need coaches? And why not this? Or are they born with a club vertical in their head? Or is it taught somewhere? Then why are they leading in such a way that eyewitnesses have blood from their eyes?

We understand that a person cannot be prohibited from investing in a funeral business, garbage disposal or a football club. Better that way than nothing. But in the same England, Anton Zingarevich told me, before buying Reading, he had a big interview. They looked into the eyes, were interested in incentives and intentions. They wanted to understand whether the person came seriously or so, to provide his son with gaming practice. And the league did it, the Premier League, vitally interested in its reputation, and not in a hare big top.

At least this kind of assessment in Russian football can be organized? Without empty guarantee letters from governors, with minimal ownership, and not just one rented bus, with experience in similar positions or a document on the appropriate education?

Nikolai Tolstykh once held a meeting of the chamber to resolve disputes. The claim of a legionnaire from the former southern republic of the USSR, who appeared at the meeting with an agent, was considered. To begin with, Tolstykh asked the applicant for a passport. Without opening, he hid it in the inside pocket of his jacket. He asked the question: “For what purpose did you come to our country?” The degree of claims of the plaintiff has noticeably decreased.

It would be good to ask a similar question to club owners and investors when licensing. “For what purpose did you come to football?” In the event of an indistinct answer and subsequent failure, lock up at the base along with the observers and founders.

The base heals everyone. And these will be cured. Enough for a couple of matches.
