The TaToTake telegram channel confirmed the information that the owner of Metalist Kharkiv, Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, has stepped aside from this club and no longer finances it.
“Yaroslavsky has nothing to do with Metalist now. Yaroslavsky did not say that he was saying goodbye to football forever, but, according to our information, the chances of him returning to Metalist are low.
Why does Griga say the opposite? (Valery Griga - General Director of Metallist, - ed.). The answer is very simple. Former subordinates of Yaroslavsky continue to hold on to his status as the savior of Kharkov football, hoping that the third coming of the Messiah will someday happen.
In fact, right now, the only fact of the existence of Metallist and its financing is the large transit of Krasnikov and Kucher to Dnepr-1. As well as Yevgeny Krasnikov’s personal agreements with Dnipro-1 investors, including Igor Kolomoisky. This also includes the lease of Metalist players to Dnepr-1 and, in fact, the activities and work in Dnepr-1 of Krasnikov and Kucher. Unfortunately, Metalist has no other sources of funding now," the source said.
