    Couldn't find such thread here, so decided to start a new one. :)

    Today's biggest news - Karpaty got a new coach who is Yaremchenko, former Shaxtar & MZ coach. Karpaty's prior coach was let go after a dissapointing start of this season. Don;t even know what to think. The change was needed - the team was turning deaf to Ishenko. I am not sure if Yaremchenko is the solution, though.

    Also on a hot seat is Zorya's coach, Kosevich, whose team lost 4 games in a row.

    It was inevitable that Ischenko's time would be up. He didn't make much of an impact in his off-season signings, but that could be Dyminskiy's doing there. Guaranteed Ischenko will take the position at Zorya if they choose to sack Kosevich.

    Dnipro v Metalist match coming up this week. Should test Dnipro if they are to make any challenge for a top 2 finish, although they are struggling to get points against smaller clubs.

    yurchishin79, do you want to start moving everyone to ukrsoccer.com?

    by the way, we are now moving to game downloads directly from http, so anyone registered at the forum will be able to watch all the Uki soccer they want.

    Let's hope so. His spell with Shaxtar wasn't too bad, but his stay with MZ was brought very mediocre results. Lviv's fans are not gonna be very patient with him, his credit line is rather short right now. When Ishenko came, we were ready to tolerate defeats since we just got promoted; the situation now changed: everyone expects quick improvement in quality and results. But hey, I am rooting for him. We finally need some stability we deserve. :)

    Dnipro-Metal should be a great one. Metal has its eyes on Everton, Dnipro must recover from a strange defeat in Poltava before Uefa games.

    Ukraine league club Metalurg Donetsk signed Turkish international Erol Bulut for ONe year contract.

    I saw last night's Shakhtar - Dnipro match. For one half it was a thoroughly enjoyable match. Dnipro looked extremely good and totally prevented Shakhtar from creating anything worthwhile. Dnipro took a totally deserved lead and, I thought, wow! it is official, we have three good clubs.

    But, in the second half, Shakhtar dominated. Lucesku made right substitutions, Dnipro looked tired, and, one after another, four goals were scored by the orange-and-black.

    In other news, Bnagoura's injury did not turn out to be a broken rib as earlier reported. He tore some rib cartilage (according to Sport-Express), which means he may be available for Sporting.

    no, no, you were right, we do have three strong clubs. Dnipro played in the UEFA cup just two days prior and their squad is pretty thin. They were simply tired. They also have the best Ukrainian coach. You'll see, they're going to do really well after their european or ukrainian cup run is over. It's just fixture overload.

    You have no idea how much I admire Protasov. He is hands down the best thing in Ukrainian football since Loban. Intelligent, articulate, motivational and very finely attuned to the psychology of his players; exactly what a modern coach should be.

    Well, I wouldn't go that far. While I do immensely respect Protasov, I do not think he is the best thing in Ukrainian football since Loban. Blokhin is.

    You know, I respect Bloxin for what he did for Ukraine at the WC, but I think he's about the worst coach possible on the club level. Watch him fail at Dynamo when he'll take over in the winter.

    Is this a done deal? I haven't heard anything of this nature to be so definite.

    Wait a sec here, who the hell is Torbinsky? Blokhin took Ukraine to the WC quarters. At the very least, give me Titov or Tikhonov

    i wasn't being sarcastic. there's a very strong possibility that cappello will end up in kiev. they actually signed a contract with girar yuille (however the hell you spell his name) this summer, but he had to back out because of health concerns.

    I think Torbinsky was mentioned by FM as there is a strong basis for the comparisson between him and Blokhin in their present situations. Torbinsky has been rumoured, at some points to the regard of perceived certainty, to be joining FM's team in Lokomotiv Moskva this offseason. Which bears, I presume, similarity to Blokhin's potential future at the helm of Dinamo Kiev.

    The name of Ronaldinho was then mentioned to convey FM's conviction that the likelyhood of Cappello coaching Dinamo is equivalent to Lokomotiv being able to lure one of football's most highly regarded players into the midst. However far out of the realm of possibility these two aforementioned scenarios may respectively be, they resemble one another in that despite the notion both Cappello and Ronaldinho are [/will be in the near future] looking for new employers, to present them in such stark contrast to the much more likely possibilities of Blokhin and Torbinsky produces a very similar, out of the blue, and perhaps even comical effect on the neutral reader.

    I do not, however, understand to what Tikhonov or Titov amount to in our Blokhin-Torbinsky + Cappello-Ronaldinho analogy. It is less likely that either of them joins Lokomotiv than us seeing Ronaldinho ply his trade in the RPL... yet both of them donning a red & green jersey would create less of a stir in the global footballing world than Cappello as much as setting foot in Kiev.
