LokomotivRussiaOn Saturday, Lokomotiv lost away to Krasnodar in the match of the fourth round of the Russian Premier League with a score of 0:3. In the previous round, the railwaymen lost at home to Zenit (0:5). “Lokomotiv” scored two points after four rounds of the RPL. “It’s not Lokomotiv that should do it, but the head of Russian Railways. He should assemble the board of directors and say: “Guys, in this difficult time we are spending crazy money, tearing them off the budget, and you fails everything. You promised that the club would be profitable, but as a result, all two years of «work» turned into zilch. And if so, then here is God, but the threshold, goodbye. «We need to start everything from scratch, collect new leaders, recruit a new coaching staff. The season is already lost, but by the middle of it the team can still be revived. I would find people who they would build a team for free,” Naumov said. “They say about me:“ An old senile, carries all sorts of nonsense. ”But my soul hurts for Lokomotiv and everything that is happening in the club. When Vladimir Leonchenko was appointed to the post of general director «, then I arranged a meeting with him. I specially came from St. Petersburg to Moscow, met with him, told in detail his vision of the development of the club. And he seemed to agree with everything, but in the end everything went awry. in order for him to lead, but simply sign the decisions that other people made for him.He takes offense at criticism, but how not to criticize when a club with such expenses is at the bottom of the standings.I, of course, do not have access to Oleg Belozerov ( General Director of Russian Railways), but I would I wanted to discuss the current situation with him,» he added. The functionary also admitted that he felt resentful after the decision of the Lokomotiv management to disband the second team of railway workers — Kazanka. Kazanka was unjustifiably disbanded. There was no reason for this, except to grab more money for yourself. They said they wanted to do optimization. But «Kazanka» was a step between the youth and the main team, it performed its function to the fullest. Now there is nowhere to take pupils. From youth? They are not ready for the professional level, they need one more step. It's easy to break. I created the second team for Lokomotiv back in 2009, we were one of the first to do it. And it was catastrophically difficult, a lot of work was done. We found a budget, signed a contract with the company for five years. I signed it myself. Now everything is ruined. I have a thorn in my heart from the fact that people come and break. Well, that they cannot build, but at least they would not destroy what was created with great difficulty. Someday these people will leave the club, but the club will be left with nothing. What kind of development are we talking about then?» Naumov said.
