Nikolai Tolstoy paid all – Kommersant

President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Nikolai Tolstoy yesterday the decision of the conference organization was removed from office. This was a great victory for his opponents seek the resignation of the head of the RAF from the very moment of his election in 2012. Mr. Tolstoy place, it is likely to take sports minister Vitaly Mutko, who at one time had combined football and ministerial positions. At least, the Minister Mutko has promised to think about returning to the football structure.

The agenda of yesterday’s conference RFU had nine points, the issue of termination of powers of the president of the RFU was listed in last place. But conference delegates immediately made it clear that so long to wait, and do not intend to question the president needs to be solved immediately. It is their commitment, in principle, was expected. Still, background information, created in recent years around the head of the RFU Nikolai Tolstoy, leaves little hope for the preservation of his office. If otherwise, it is located sufficiently support the delegates, the conference could simply refuse to consider his resignation. But after the delegates of 307 votes decided on the removal from office of Nikolai Tolstoy still worth to vote, almost all became clear.

Here, it is worth noting that in the RAF operates a system whereby delegates have different numbers of votes. Representatives of the regional federations have five votes each. The other members of the RAF – one by one. In addition, for the dismissal of the president of the RFU it was enough to dial 225 votes. That is, it was enough to win the support of 45 of the 70 present at the meeting, “regionals”. In situations where there are “supergolosa” surprises are more likely.

You can not say that Nikolai Tolstoy had no supporters. There were quite a few.

So, the president of the Football Federation of Lipetsk, Vladimir Mitkeev said that in the current difficult political situation the question of the dismissal of the President can not be considered in principle. He said that Mr. Tolstoy works well and all problems to the conscience of the former head of the Russian Football Union (ie, Sergei Fursenko) and the current executive committee, which generally should disperse. “Guys! – Addressed the delegates, Mr. Mitkeev – Finish stir up trouble. Bad it would be!” For Nikolai Tolstoy and made better known in football circles, Alexander Tukmanov. Now the president of FC “Torpedo”, and at the time Secretary General of the RFU said that he was in the shoes of Tolstoy, he was looking for money for the RAF, he was negotiating with sponsors and understands how difficult this business.

However, those who are against, it was still more. And they sounded louder. Especially after the deputy minister of sport Yuri Nagornykh said pre recalling that the state can not interfere in the activities of public organizations that “can not ignore the opinion of the executive committee,” that you need to think about “how not to drop even lower football” that the RAF is mired in scandals, in union there is no money. “We need reform,” – concluded Mr. Nagornykh.

RFU Financial problems mentioned by the deputy minister of sports and was the main trump opponents Nikolai Tolstoy. They are no longer a secret: that the head coach of Russia Fabio Capello a few months did not receive a salary, they know even people far from football. Yesterday, information about the financial hole in which landed RFU sounded by the head of the Auditing Commission of the Union of Ivan Peronko. Yes, he tried to smooth out the corners, said that if in 2013 the RAF losses totaled 658 million rubles., Then in 2014 – only 174 million rubles. He mentioned that the union was able to restructure the debts of 600 million rubles., To reduce the deficit from the planned 500 million rubles. up to 108 million rubles. But ultimately, Mr. Peronko had noted that without receiving a loan in the amount of more than 400 million rubles. from the “natural person” (talking about the media, the RAF issued an entrepreneur Alisher Usmanov) there would be no means of brilliant performance. As a result, the head of the Auditing Commission noted that the RFU has not approved the budget for 2015, have no union general sponsor and it is in the verge of bankruptcy, which is not surprising, since for the past five years, the activities of the RAF unprofitable. This alone would be enough to remove from Nikolai Tolstoy.

The figures speak about himself Nikolai Tolstoy. He said that, in his estimation, in Russian football annually handles about $ 2.5 billion, and half of that amount accounted for 16 clubs in the Premier League. Mr. Tolstoy also reported that in 2013, only to buy foreign players clubs have spent 8.2 billion rubles., More than 2 billion rubles. We paid agents, and taking into account the salaries of foreign players was taken out of the country more than 35 billion rubles. In 2014, approved by the President of the RFU, he managed to make it so that international transfers were spent only 2.6 billion rubles., And agents had received only 612 million rubles. That is Nikolai Tolstoy made it clear that the speaker, in spite of all the problems is positive. He, however, said that would not overestimate their chances of retaining the position because he knows “which calls are received for delegates.” And Mr. Tolstoy promised to fight to the end for his reputation. How exactly, he did not explain.

Ray of Hope for Nikolai Tolstoy flashed when on his proposal, delegates decided to hold a vote on the resignation of a secret operation. And as time has shown, the president of the RFU did not have the very small, to emerge victorious from a difficult situation. After all, if during the open discussion of voting for the president’s resignation was received 307 votes for the resignation itself was filed only 235 votes in the required minimum of 225 votes. That is, if only two representatives of the region, and someone else was supported by the RFU president, he would remain in office.

According to the rules of the RFU, the place of the dismissed president of the organization in rank. about. It took its first vice-president Nikita Simonyan. He is to this role are not used to. After all, in the history of the RAF was not the case that the president left office in standby order. In 2005, from the position of “squeezed” Vyacheslav Koloskov. Vitaly Mutko, left the RAF in 2009, after then-President Dmitry Medvedev banned federal officials occupy posts in sports federations. Sergei Fursenko resigned after the failure of the Russian national team at the European Championships in 2012. And always in the role of “locum tenens” acted Nikita Simonyan.

Yesterday Mr. Simonyan said that the date for the election of the new president of the RFU executive committee will determine, but first consider the possibility of carrying out on 29 August. As for the candidates, officially his intention is declared a State Duma deputy from the LDPR Igor Lebedev. But the most likely candidate – Vitaly Mutko – limited the phrase “Let’s think about it.” Considering, however, that George Nagornykh already managed to declare that “direct prohibition to minister to combine the management of any federation is not” that it was a recommendation, and it was “before”, it is likely that Mutko decides to return to management football. At the level of the country’s leadership, this step should be regarded as valid, since the eve of the World Cup in 2018 the RAF must be increased. But the ability of the Minister of Sport to involve sponsors in the RAF, too, no doubt.

The financial condition of the organization is characterized as unsatisfactory.

Speaking to delegates, Tolstoy said that Russian clubs inefficient spending the funds received from sponsors. “Russian football in the face of its elite spent on international transfers 8.2 billion rubles.

Tolstoy quite sharply reacted to the financial claims Capello, offering him to compare his income “with income of Russians of the same age».

Blatter won for Russia – BBC

Joseph S. Blatter was the fifth consecutive FIFA President. His only rival, Prince of Jordan Ali Bin Al-Hussein withdrew his candidacy from the ballot in the second round. Recall that supported the candidature Blatter and Russian.

The corruption scandal surrounding the FIFA on the eve of presidential elections in the organization, has completely changed the disposition of the candidates. Before there was no doubt in another easy victory Joseph Blatter. The opponents he was only Prince of Jordan Ali Bin Al-Hussein, vice president of FIFA from Asia.

Other contenders for the post, the owner of “Golden Ball – 2000″ Luis Figo and the head of the Royal Netherlands Football Association Michael van Prague, declined to advance the struggle. At the same time, both withdrew their candidacies in favor of Ali.

The arrests in Switzerland, several representatives of FIFA’s request, US Department of Justice as part of an FBI investigation dropped Blatter shadow. The detained officials have accused a number of crimes, including bribery and money laundering.

There are reports that cast doubt on the election can be put countries – the hosts of the world championships in 2018 and 2022. Vitaly Mutko, who was in Switzerland, in his own words, tired to deny that he had been summoned for questioning by the Swiss prosecutor’s office.

Blatter himself questioning not touched, but his position did not look very stable.

Another blow struck for the UEFA Cup. Europeans first called to postpone the election to a later date, then the mouth of the head of the organization Michel Platini backed al-Hussein.

The Frenchman before not dare to openly criticize Blatter, he said he asked the head FIFA voluntarily leave his post. Platini also said that his sympathies at the Congress in Zurich will be on the side of the Prince of Jordan.

However, the position of the current President of FIFA remained strong. Virtually the entire continent of Africa expressed support for Blatter, as well as a number of Asian and American countries. In Guinea-Bissau, for example, attacks on the Swiss called blasphemy.

The RFU to their preferences, too, decided in advance. The head of the organization Nikolai Tolstoy said that he would vote for Blatter. This is not surprising, because it is in its support of Russia won the 2018 World Cup. Change FIFA president could make unpredictable developments.

fateful day began with FIFA that someone called the police and announced a bomb planted in the building. For some time, law enforcement services had to vacate the premises that was soon reported: “All clear. There is no danger. ”

No sooner had the delegates return to the hall, as the representative of Palestine urged to exclude Israel from FIFA. As a result, the parties were able to resolve the conflict, shook hands. And just before the vote the British declared that the Russian boycott the 2018 World Cup, when Blatter re-elected to the presidency.

There were no personal attack on the head of FIFA. During one of his speeches in the hall functionary announced a few protesters, which forces the same police quickly taken out of the hall. Himself Swiss remained cold and unapproachable.

Blatter voting day trying to justify to the audience, explaining that he would try to restore the honor of FIFA in the public eye.

«We are going through troubled times. Recent events have cast a shadow on the FIFA Congress. We will try to raise our reputation. We can not afford to drag the name of FIFA was in the dirt. Separate “filthy” people is not the whole of FIFA, “- he said from the rostrum of Blatter.

It is noteworthy that his rival al-Hussein gave the floor just before the vote.

«I’m not going to hide behind you, when everything is bad, and a step forward in moments of success. Please make a choice of conscience. I open doors to FIFA over the world. I will defend human rights in this responsible position, “- promised to Prince Ali.

According to the “pre-match” alignment of journalists Jordanian should get to the order of 50 votes, 42 more delegates doubted. According to Platini, Al-Hussein had only European to receive 45-46 vote and 60 – from other continents.

Most of the forecasters agreed in opinion that the parties can not avoid a second round. To win in the first one of the candidates had to be a two-thirds vote.

beginning of a long process of voting, FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke announced by turns each of the 209 countries. Delegates held in special booths, where they made their choice and cast ballots in the ballot box.

Calculation of results was much faster. Very soon the numbers flashed on the scoreboard. First of all, it was announced that the candidates still waiting for the second round. Blatter won 133 votes, he lacked only seven to win the first round.

Prince Ali got 73 votes, three more were invalidated.

This alignment slightly pleased with al-Hussein and Platini. Neither of which 100 votes for it was not Jordanian. It became clear that the second round does not make sense.

understand this and Ali. Spectators waiting for the repeat voting, when Jordanian appeared on the scene and said that withdrawing his candidacy.

«Representatives of the 73 football federations have expressed determination, but I do not want to have someone in trouble. Hope for the best, that the organization will take place real changes “- said Ali.

Dozens of people in the audience sighed with relief, heard the first single, and then a burst of applause. Blatter was re-elected for a fifth term. Supporters of the Swiss, as they say, relieved, like most Blatter.
