Alexander Zotov, General Director of the All-Russian Trade Union of Football Players (OPF), commented on the source of the situation in Khimki.We are in contact with the club’s main investor; we called again this morning. He said there are no financial problems, but there are technical ones—with the transfer of money and other things. The club will try to settle most of the debts until the end of the month—about three salaries, and all of them until the end of the season. Today, he will meet with the players and explain the entire situation to them.I’ve known Tufan for over a year; he’s never cheated on me, so he’s not inclined to disbelieve. I can’t guarantee that, because it’s not my money, not my words. But I believe it. My colleagues from the union and I are in contact with the players. Their anxiety is justified. There are often delays at other clubs, but as for the desire to boycott the game, this is a very bad signal. Source link
