Squad21 Dec 2026

Vitaly Gudiev keeps Akron in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market21 Dec 2026

Paulo Vitor has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Akron can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match19 Dec 2026

Lokomotiv Moscow take the points off Akron

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Khetag Khosonov 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 dugout21 Dec 2026

Savely Laptev 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.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Ilya Glushakov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Ilya Glushakov after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Akron pick somebody else ahead of Ivan Budachev

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Stefan Lončar left out for tactical reasons at Akron

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Looking ahead21 Dec 2026

Ivan Budachev faces his old club

Dinamo Moscow next, and one man in the Akron dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The Ravan Chronicle

24 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 Aug 2026

Fedot Lipatov agrees terms with Shinnik

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Ravan people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ravan say no — this time

The offer from Gabala for Bogdan Mukhin was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market24 Aug 2026

Namig Amirguliyev asks to leave Ravan

“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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Zé Lucas will not be coming to Ravan

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Cruzeiro is saying, and nobody at Ravan is enjoying the guessing.

Market24 Aug 2026

Araz Guseynov attracts admirers

The name of Araz Guseynov has come up in conversations Ravan were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Ravan rebuffed over Lucca

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ceará have kept their man, and Ravan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Ravan

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

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Grigory Biryukov

“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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yusuf Sahin 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Savely Laptev agrees terms with Neman

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Ravan people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market17 Aug 2026

Not going: Dimitrij Ramazanov stays at Ravan

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Zira had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Grigory Biryukov stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad17 Aug 2026

20 days out for Bernard Asante after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Ravan will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Ravan go back to the board over Nuğay Rəşidov

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $35.0K — a club that wants Nuğay Rəşidov enough to be asked twice.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Ravan

Shahriyar Sheydaev 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.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Too dear: Ravan walk away from Nuğay Rəşidov

$33.0K was the most the club would pay and Gabala were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Ravan

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market17 Aug 2026

AZAL join the queue for Namig Sheydaev

Add another name to the list: AZAL have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Namig Sheydaev. The answer from Ravan has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Bernard Asante breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ravan say no — this time

The offer from Chernomorets for Savely Laptev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market10 Aug 2026

Vugar Bayramov asks to leave Ravan

“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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Rufat Sadygov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rufat Sadygov commits to Ravan for another 3 years.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Ravan make their move for Nuğay Rəşidov

$30.0K on the table at Gabala. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Shahriyar Sheydaev 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruslan Bayramov 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Ravan ask about Ümid Səmədov

A loan enquiry to Kapaz: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Rufat Sadygov 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 Ravan, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Bernard Asante breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market3 Aug 2026

Ravan say no — this time

The offer from Gomel for Fedot Lipatov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Ravan

Shahriyar Sheydaev 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tamkin Ramazanov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tamkin Ramazanov commits to Ravan for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Ravan

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

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Ravan ask about Jérémie Gnali

A loan enquiry to Qarabag: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
