Boardroom24 Jan 2028

The scrutiny sharpens at Cherepovets

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Cherepovets is running low.

The terraces24 Jan 2028

Anger at Cherepovets spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Jan Mordaka 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 Cherepovets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words at Cherepovets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Stephen Adayilo 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.

Boardroom24 Jan 2028

The borrowing at Cherepovets reaches $2.1M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $2.1M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Daniyal Gadjiev knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Cherepovets, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market24 Jan 2028

The Dmitry Dolgov question follows Cherepovets around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Dmitry Dolgov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market24 Jan 2028

Cherepovets put Eldar Luev up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Eldar Luev may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market24 Jan 2028

Yelisey Snegirev runs his contract down

6 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Cherepovets money.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Boardroom8 Nov 2027

Cherepovets put Viktor Burov on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

The dugout8 Nov 2027

Eldar Luev says Cherepovets went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Stephen Adayilo 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 Cherepovets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Jan Mordaka 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.

The terraces8 Nov 2027

Cherepovets supporters have found a favourite in Timur Chetoev

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Timur Chetoev has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match6 Nov 2027

Cherepovets see off Chertanovo

Three points for Cherepovets, 1‑0 the final word against Chertanovo in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Aleksey Sysoev was immovable

17 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad8 Nov 2027

8 new faces, and Cherepovets are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Timur Chetoev was the difference for Cherepovets

Marked 7.74. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The terraces1 Nov 2027

The mood at Cherepovets has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom1 Nov 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at Cherepovets

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Cherepovets is running low.

Squad1 Nov 2027

A falling-out at Cherepovets

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

The terraces1 Nov 2027

The crowd has taken to Pavel Satuchin

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match30 Oct 2027

Cherepovets find a way past Zenit 2

Zenit 2 made Cherepovets work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Karen Khachatryan gets it from the manager

“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.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

Nobody on the pitch touched Pavel Satuchin

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

The dugout1 Nov 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Viktor Burov kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Words at Cherepovets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Orgito Sallo 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.
