Marked for Maksym Malynovskyi

Match

The wait goes on for Probiy

10 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.

Market

Bohdan Orynchak 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.

The dugout

Vladyslav Felipovych frozen out at Probiy

This is not rotation. Vladyslav Felipovych has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Probiy is pretending otherwise.

The dugout

Maksym Malynovskyi: 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.” Probiy have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Daniil Denysenko

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Probiy have done the hard part with Kolos, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Probiy

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.

Transfer targets

Probiy rebuffed over Denys Svitiukha

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

Squad

Words at Probiy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrii Bliznichenko 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.

Squad

Andrii Fesenko 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The knee: Andrii Bliznichenko out for 83 days

83 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Probiy lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The terraces

The mood at Probiy 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.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Probiy

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Volodymyr Ivanychuk puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Probiy, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A move August Kayanja-Drejgaard would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. August Kayanja-Drejgaard is living that version at Probiy, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words exchanged at Probiy

Paul Loundjeu 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

Words at Probiy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Volodymyr Radulskyi 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.

Market

Probiy buy the years ahead of August Kayanja-Drejgaard

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

Probiy sign Maksym Malynovskyi, one for the future

Maksym Malynovskyi is 14, and Probiy have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
