Dynamo 2 Kyiv 0-2 Kyiv

Obolon 1-1 Kyiv

FC Bayern 3-1 Kyiv

Kyiv 1-0 FC Vaslui

A mixed bag for pre-season however i was very satisfied. Another meeting with Bayern was a good money spinner (may try to get more of these) but overall it was the chance to test a lot of players who had returned from loan and were breaking in to my first team.

Konoplyanka FINALLY joins

Very happy to announce my pursuit of Dnipro's Konoplyanka is finally over AND....he was a free signing thanks to my endless pursuit making him not renew his contract. This is a HUGE signing for my ambitions and hopefully will help out Marco Ruben.

BIG NEWS!- Lucescu leaves Shakhtar!
View attachment 377097
So my big rival has stepped down from his job at fearsome rivals Shakhtar Donetsk and i must admit i smiled to myself. This has to be the biggest news of the summer and has given other teams a chance to close the gap on us in my opinion. No better chance for Dnipro or Karpaty than now.

Former Chelsea man Dan Petrescu has taken the reigns. Me and him will lock horns very soon!

A brilliant comeback win in the Super Cup. Konoplyanka and Ruben grabbed the goals.

And finally...

A brilliant piece of news which im hoping will lead to NextGen participation and even some more rep for my youth setup. This is inline with my aims when i first joined the club.

Season 2014/15
European and Cup Update

Champions Cup

Way back at the start of the season we were drawn in Group H alongside Manchester United, PAOK and Ajax. A very tough group especially as United are current holders of the Champions Cup and Ajax were champions of their league. I was happy to take points where i could.

Well a slow start got better with two wins against the hardest teams in the group.

Very proud to end 2nd in that group. I had originally expected we would be in the EURO Cup but we have defeated the odds to climb into the knockout stages.


Ukrainian Cup

So far we are only two rounds in so there isn't much to update on but here are the snippets.

Relatively comfy win for a youngish team.

This match was tougher than i would have liked and injuries did not help, however we are through to the quarter finals to meet a familiar adversary.

Other News

Very disturbing but needed to be updated.

So it seems after months of losing money the club has finally reached the selling point which means more emphasis on my youth setup. I am disappointed that Igor Surkis is looking to step aside as he has backed me 100% in all my ideas and i fear a new consortium may well stop our training and youth improvements when they step in.

As a bid to improve finacnes i have transfer listed Miguel Veloso Denys Barvinko and Eugene Selin (against my better judgement) as they are high earners or aren't performing to expectation. None of them want to leave but it needs to be done with 72.,000 over our wage budget after reduction.

Chairman Igor Surkis

So here is just a quick update a few months down the line about what has happened. We are currently in the Winter Break and so i am playing the standard friendlies i arrange to keep players fresh and trial youngsters.

Kyiv subject of Consortium bid!

A blow with transfer window just around the corner but it happens when the club are in financial drout

View attachment 475041 View attachment 475032
So the takeover collapsed. Must say i am very disappointed. I was hoping for a nice cash windfall however it is not to be so we will see how this affects the rest of my season. Particularly European football as i have had to sell a few players.

Gutted we have lost both these guys. very influential and what is worse Kranjcar has gone on a free.
