Market

Anatolii Romanchenko 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 Chernihiv can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Chernihiv count the cost of losing Maksym Serdiuk

114 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Chernihiv

Maksym Serdiuk 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.

Boardroom

The Chernihiv debt reaches $15.7M

Football clubs borrow; that is not the story. Borrowing more than the facility allows is, because from here it is the owner's money or somebody else's decision, and neither of those belongs to the board.

Market

Chernihiv sign Andrei Pokrovsky, one for the future

Andrei Pokrovsky is 18, and Chernihiv 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.

Market

A long bet from Chernihiv on Patrick Stein

He is 18, and nobody at Chernihiv signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
