Squad

Mykyta Dzen: 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.” Inhulets have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Ignacio Echevarría 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 Inhulets can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Inhulets come up short against UCSA

UCSA left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Vitalii Katrych 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.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Inhulets

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad

Alan Ovelar 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 Inhulets, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Loan watch

15 goals on loan for Serhii Kyslenko

29 appearances at Feniks and the goals keep coming. Inhulets are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Inhulets

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad

Enzo Borgarelli 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.

Market

The Vitalii Dubilei talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Inhulets know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

Jeron Al-Hazaimeh arrives on loan

Inhulets have taken Jeron Al-Hazaimeh on loan from UCSA — cover where cover was needed.

Squad

Oleh Manastyrnyi asks for a word with the manager

“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.

Squad

Brian Palacios stays put

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

Boardroom

118% of the income goes out in wages at Inhulets

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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Brian Palacios

“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.

Market

Anton Maksymchuk is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Inhulets has been clear about where Anton Maksymchuk stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Vitalii Katrych linked with a move away

The name of Vitalii Katrych keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Inhulets say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Mykyta Dzen keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Mykyta Dzen plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Squad

Blas Rolón 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.

Squad

Oleh Manastyrnyi out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Oleh Manastyrnyi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Voices raised on the Inhulets training ground

Two players, one bad tackle and a session that had to be stopped. It was over in a minute; it was outside the gates in an hour.

Match

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

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jonathan Cerruti

“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.

Squad

Brian Palacios signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Brian Palacios commits to Inhulets for another 3 years.

Match

Inhulets and Podillia cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Podillia came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Loan watch

Serhii Kyslenko keeps scoring at Feniks

9 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Juan Ignacio Blanco asks for a word with the manager

“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.
