Measures to be immediately taken

After 10th matchday Baltika goes 13th falling deeper and deeper.

Four consecutive defeats of Baltika FC made the managing staff arrange a meeting at which questions  concerning the future and present times of our club were discussed.  It became all of a sudden not only for mass media but first of all for supporters when Baltika lost two games in a row at home after two losses away. Four matches without points and the loss against Ural 0-3 turned out to be the first rout at home since 2004 when we lost to Terek with the same score.  Evgeni Tivanenkov, president of Baltika FC, said that all possible measures would be taken as quick as possible to change and improve the situation. According to him his trust limit in the current group of coaches hasn’t expired yet and he believes that Sanaya, Zakharyak and Krasavin could continue working in the club under one condition: Baltika should try to win all the next four games. It won’t be easy at all for this Friday we play Luch Energy in Vladivostok and then comes Ska-Energy in Khabarovsk. Time difference has always been the key-factor which plays against the teams guests who aren’t welcomed in the Far East. After such a tough voyage our team has Metalurg and Salut at home. 

All these days after the unsuccessful games specialists and supporters have been discussing the possible reasons of all that. The circle narrowed to two of them: Baltika players failed deliberately because they wanted to get rid of Sanaya and his assistants and that there were problems with salary. In his interview  to “Kaliningradskaya pravda” Evgeni Tivanenkov said that no money delay taken place and that he didn’t know exactly if the players were satisfied with the managing staff. At the Baltica – Ural match you could see Leonid Tkachenko, Baltika former head-coach. Together with the Lithuanian specialist Beniaminas Zelkyavichus they are said to be the main candidates to take the office in Baltika. 

How successful and fruitful the meeting was we are going to know already on Friday afternoon after the final whistle in Vladivostok.
