4 matches without a win for KAMAZ
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around KAMAZ are no longer polite ones.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match6 Nov 2027
KAMAZ and Rotor cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Rotor came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Match6 Oct 2027
KAMAZ march on in the cup
Kaluga are out and KAMAZ go through, 1-0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Squad11 Oct 2027
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” KAMAZ have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match9 Oct 2027
KAMAZ get the job done against Sokol
A 1-0 win over Sokol, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad11 Oct 2027
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. KAMAZ have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Pyotr Volkov has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around KAMAZ they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artur Anisimov commits to KAMAZ for another 2 years.

The medical room confirms 20 days on the sidelines for Ruslan Ayukin, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

118% of the income goes out in wages at KAMAZ
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

He is 18, and nobody at KAMAZ signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
Match14 Aug 2027
Honours even between KAMAZ and Ufa
1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
Market16 Aug 2027
The name of Saminu Abdullahi keeps appearing in other people's back pages. KAMAZ say nothing, which says plenty.
Squad16 Aug 2027
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Squad16 Aug 2027
The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Nikita Saltykov keeps the shirt for now, at KAMAZ's convenience rather than his own.

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3-0 against Yenisey, and it could have been more.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

KAMAZ make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now KAMAZ have 3 straight wins of it.

The medical room confirms 78 days on the sidelines for Ruslan Ayukin, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Dinamo Makhachkala pay $97.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Ruslan Ayukin hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KAMAZ can pretend not to have heard.
Market5 Jul 2027
The name of Andrey Semenov has come up in conversations KAMAZ were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Alexandr Pomalyuk is 20, and KAMAZ have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
Market5 Jul 2027
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. KAMAZ know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Squad5 Jul 2027
A new face in his position, and Saminu Abdullahi suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. KAMAZ have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
