A pretty interesting article (it's Solomon we're interested in, btw) on the issues Shakthar is facing right now. Hard to disagree with their CEO really.

Didn't read it. Are they continuing to pay their players? I'm presuming they're not in which case what do they expect?

Maybe they expect us to act like Chelsea did with Mudryk ... like it's a normal thing.

Palkin is so unhappy with Fifa and their introduction of the ruling that allowed foreign players to suspend their contracts as a result of the war, even though conflict in the Donetsk region started in 2014, that he views world football’s governing body as much as an enemy as Ukraine’s oppressive forefathers.

Are Shaktar able to pay their players though? If not, I don't really know what else he expects.

Again the FIFA allowed the foreign players to suspend their contracts. Okay. But it seems it allows the players to leave the team on free which is pissing off the owner of Shakhtar. Owner said he spent $ to acquire these players and stand to lose them with no compensation due to circumstances beyond his control.

Would probably be good pr to offer them the 5m they paid for him and maybe invite them to a friendly.

It have taken the guy less time to read the actual article than for you to summarize it for him over two posts.

Lot of talk of our new direction being data driven.
Could it be it's just Levy on his laptop monitoring us online?

Interesting that we are hosting Shakhtar pre-season.
