Famous Ukrainian TV commentator Viktor Vatsko has said what he thinks about the possibility of Ukrainian clubs without oligarchs.
Viktor Vatsko"I believe that it is possible to build a club without oligarchs in Ukrainian football. The question is what level this club will be. On Patreon collected, but so far no one has collected. All our stories: oligarch-free football and so on and so forth... I think that these stories are for suckers.
These stories would have the right to exist if we had a healthy economy in football and in the country. If we had the purchasing power of the population so that people could safely spend 10 dollars for a monthly subscription to a channel that broadcasts matches of your championship, could go to football as a family and spend 1000 hryvnias on football tickets, buy toys for children, scarves with the emblem of the club, hot dogs to eat, drink beer in the stands ....
We don't have that yet. Then what are we talking about? Our football economy is dead as such. We can all feel differently about it, but the truth of life is that until a sugar daddy comes to the club with a lot of money, nobody knows the club, until it doesn't exist. Right or wrong, but these are our realities," Vatsko said in an interview with Sport Arena TV.
