Alexander Goryainov

— What has changed for the better and for the worse since his arrival? I know that the financing was initially super-colossal, some cosmic sums.

— Yes. He came in — and there was some bad money.

— What were the highest bonuses under him?

— They were unreal — around 30-40, something like that.

— For one player per match?

— Yes. I thought right away that you can’t do that. I think: this is bad money — it will lead to something wrong. And that’s exactly how it turned out.

— When did you feel inside the team that it was all over, that Metalist was fading?

— When Bogdanovich left — it was immediately clear that things would go downhill.
