Just putting it out there, but.....

 

Donetsk is a city of East Ukraine on the side of the Russians.

 

Given what has happened should we be doing any business whatsoever with such a club?

 

:lol: what planet are you on? The people in charge of this club would break your fucking legs if it made a few quid.

This is not someone we should be doing business with.

well, one could perhaps make a moral argument in favour of using the current instability as leverage to take assets from his business at deflated prices.

Not that it matters on whether we should deal witn Shakhtar but Akhmetov is indeed close to Putin's circles and has supported Janukovich's party for many years. Like them both, he's on the endless list of people who were chosen to wake up on mountains of wealth one morning in 1989. He has since become probably one of the most successful ones of his type.

Currently 99% of the major and medium-sized football clubs in Eastern Europe and Russia are owned by people who were either 'created' by the KGB and/or have serious ties with the Russian mafia. It's sort of a concious policy of the Putin adiministration.

 

Shakhtar have always had that great scouting network in Brazil of course. They 've bought some brilliant players over the years, Respect to the oligarch twat for that.

I know it is only wiki but it says that the Donestk owner is funding the Russian separatists in Ukraine. This is not someone we should be doing business with.

Using that logic, we shouldn't do business with the Scots either, seeing as they also have an independence movement going on...

There are many unanswered questions about why the situation in Ukraine blew up and who was really behind it. The Russians are not the only bad guys....

However, this is a football matter - and site - and politics shouldn't really enter into it. Any player we wanted from one of the Ukrainian clubs is almost certain to be just as sick of the situation as we are and if he would be an asset to NUFC, so be it.

Nothing against the player, it is the concept of giving millions of pounds to someone who is financially backing the people that blew our own fans up which is the issue for me.
