Andriy Rusol, Executive Director of Dnipro-1, commented on the position of the club at a press conference on a single TV pool.
“Some of our motives intersect with Dynamo. First, we believe that the rights belong primarily to the clubs. We are not entirely happy with the offer that Setanta is making. We believe that in this situation we have the right to choose whether this offer suits us or not. We really don't like the way and the mechanisms by which, let's say, we are gently forced to agree to join the pool.
We are also for negotiations, for some kind of constructive position. We also do not resist the fact that we need to create a common telepool. But we believe that now is not the right time for this. Neither in terms of the market, nor in terms of the situation in the country. Today we must make the product as accessible as possible and give the opportunity to watch it to the largest possible audience,” Rusol said.
