Market

Nikolay Alekhin has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dinamo Bryansk they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

A falling-out at Dinamo Bryansk

Timur Akmurzin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Dinamo Bryansk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danil Khromov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom

The borrowing at Dinamo Bryansk reaches $3.9M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $3.9M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Danil Khromov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Dinamo Bryansk can only buy what they sell

Nobody has barred the club from spending; it simply has nothing to spend that it has not first raised. Every incoming name comes with an outgoing one attached.

Squad

The formation has left Mark Kaptinar behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Dinamo Bryansk will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

Danil Khromov wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Dinamo Bryansk will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The dugout

Alexandr Shlenkin gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Alexandr Shlenkin is on it.

Player ratings

Dmitry Pikatov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 31. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Artem Medvedev in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dinamo Bryansk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bogdan Tsybrov in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Boardroom

The owner puts $291.7K into Dinamo Bryansk

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

Squad

Timur Akmurzin falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Wages eat 340% of everything Dinamo Bryansk earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Loan watch

Vadim Kondrashov counts the days

“I watch every Dinamo Bryansk game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Zenit runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Training ground row involving Bogdan Tsybrov

Tempers went at Dinamo Bryansk this week. Nothing a hard session and a quiet word cannot repair, though the story got out all the same.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Nikita Mankov

7.56, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Dinamo Bryansk had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

In brief
