Rinat Akhmetov: “The conscience of Surkis should have phoned him”

On December, 1st the meeting of Ukrainian Premier-league clubs heads took place in Kyiv. Shakhtar was represented there by its president Rinat Akhmetov. When he meeting was over the journalists asked Rinat Leonidovych several questions. In particular, the notorious topic of ticket prices for Ukraine-Greece match was touched upon. Rinat Akhmetov answered the following:

— Ukraine Football Federation sets prices for tickets. Before the decision had been made we made our point of view explicit hundred times. We were not heard, though. After FFU having made decision Grygoriy Mykhailovych regards such issues must be solved by phone or in a closed room …

But here the interests of supporters were touched upon! They have the right to know how the issue is being solved! Therefore I am for open, transparent and public discussion of the issue .

Mister Surkis says if I had called him the problem would have been solved in one minute. It’s not me who should have called him. It’s his conscience that should have called! The issue would have been solved in a moment then. But it didn’t happen…

Grygoriy Mykhailovych and I have different philosophy. He considers supporters to be important but not crucial factor . I believe football can do without Akhmetov or Surkis but it can’t do without supporters.

Grygoriy Mykhailovych Surkis showed red card to supporters for 4 million 600 thousand dollars and didn’t allow them to go to the stadium in the most important game! And World Cup-2010 showed red card to Ukraine. We won’t be there…
