The terraces

Supporters organise against the Probiy board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Artem Lovhyn 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 Probiy can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

João Vitor stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” João Vitor and Probiy agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Kolos tell Probiy: Vitalii Katrych is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A row about effort at Probiy

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mykhaylo Kozhushko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Probiy

João Vitor and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Yegor Klevtsov wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Probiy can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Boardroom

87% of the income goes out in wages at Probiy

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.

The dugout

Andrii Bliznichenko 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 Probiy, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Nazar Havryliuk asks to leave Probiy

“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.

Match

Probiy finish in position 16

14 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

Market

Viktor Tryhub is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Probiy is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

No end in sight to Probiy's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Probiy has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Volodymyr Adamiuk signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Volodymyr Adamiuk commits to Probiy for another 2 years.

Match

A bad afternoon for Probiy against Livyi Bereh

1‑2 to Livyi Bereh, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Maksym Kovalenko

“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.

The dugout

Taras Shevchenko answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Andrii Bliznichenko's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at Probiy
  • Boardroom Probiy can only buy what they sell
  • Squad The formation has left Yegor Klevtsov behind
