Boardroom

Azat Akhmetov has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Taraz can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Market

Mohammed Alam asks to leave Taraz

“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.

Boardroom

$390.4K taken back off the Taraz table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Squad

Karim Smykov 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 Taraz, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Ersūltan Töreqūl talk will not go away

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

Squad

International call for Madiiar Nūraly

Madiiar Nūraly joins up with his country. Taraz lose him for the window and would like him back in one piece.

Squad

Aleksandr Marochkin 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.

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

Market

Mohammed Alam joins Taraz on a free

No fee and no drama: Mohammed Alam has signed at Taraz, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Market

Tair Nurseitov leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Tair Nurseitov leaves Taraz the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Ersūltan Baiten leaves Taraz for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Ersūltan Baiten moves on to another club with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.
