Metalist finish in position 14
21 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.
The dugout18 Feb 2030
Dmytro Pozhar: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Metalist have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Roman Andrieiev asks to leave Metalist
“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.

Shakhtar tell Metalist: Nicolás Arévalo 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.

Prykarpattia come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Metalist did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

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

The wait goes on for Metalist
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

David Brnada signs for Kryvbas while still at Metalist
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. David Brnada has agreed terms with Kryvbas for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Tempers go at Metalist
Maksym Zaderaka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
