vandaq Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So apparently, they are going to sell off all their stars and try to push more local talent. Of course, also bringing the wages down quite a bit. About time to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 €350,000 a week for Samuel Eto'o proving to be a bit much then? Hardly surprising. They are a weird club too, the players live and train in Moscow then fly to Makhachkala for home games. For a point of reference, Makhachkala is on the banks of the Caspian sea and virtually a part of central Asia. It's almost as far from Moscow as Birmingham is.

vandaq Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Wow really? That is quite weird, why is that? Some tax evasion or something along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 read this earlier. also just sacked their manager Meulenstein after 2 games. Doesnt make sense though they have spent about 50 million this summer. rumours are the chairman is losing money, sick of the infighting or is in bad health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) It's closer to Tehran than Moscow Edited August 7, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Wow really? That is quite weird, why is that? Some tax evasion or something along those lines? Makhachkala is in a part of the Russian Federation called the Republic of Dagestan - it's one of Russia's grimmer areas, next door to Chechnya, It's not a particularly well developed part of a not particularly well developed (on the whole) country, and is also subject to long running low level guerrilla violence spilling over from the Chechen conflict. As daft as it is, in that scenario, transporting players to and from Moscow probably isn't that surprising - the players are not going to live in Dagestan, thats for sure.

mikeyp102 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Who will pay the same wages though, could struggle to get rid like we are with Bent et al. Obviously the Anzi players are higher quality but they are on considerably higher wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 To be fair, £500m is a fair whack of £7.5bn. If you had £750 in your bank, you'd be pretty disappointed to lose £50, although it doesn't bankrupt you, it's still enough to make you reconsider how much you spend on stuff. It's the same thing, except you know, multiplied by 10 million, and it's happened to one of those lovely Russian Billionaires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i have no sympathy for him and im sure he can just about cope I agree, it's the risk you take when you make money via investments and buy football clubs, and he no doubt probably will cope with losing that money. Just pointing out it's not **** all to him no matter how much he has, and I can see why it would make cut back on the money he gives to Anzhi, as similarly to the example I gave, the first thing you stop spending money on when times get tough* is pointless and frivolous luxuries. *I use this term extremely loosely.

Jimzk5 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Since bankrolling the team in 2010 there league positions are 10th, 5th and 3rd, spending hundreds of millions in transfers and wages with zero success, this season they have 2 points from 4 games and lost against fc rostov at home last week. they couldn't buy success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except one person is left with seven billion pounds, whereas the other has £700. But yeah, fifty million is a lot of money, although I did read earlier that it was more to do with his company's share price, which has since recovered to some extent.

Instead of multiplying your £750 analogy by 10 million just quadruple it. Say if I pick up £3k next month. Losing £200 isn't ideal but it wouldn't really affect my lifestyle too much. I wouldn't have to adjust like the £750 guy. Now times my amount by a few million. It gets even easier to handle. £500m is pennies to these people, he could well make that back in a day, like me with my £200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
