“The idea itself is good, sound. But at the same time, leveling cannot be. Still, sponsors are sponsors. Russian Railways, as funded by Lokomotiv, will continue to do so. But at the same time, they will contribute their funds to a specific fund. It seems to me that it will not be used to pay salaries and bonuses, but in order to help the team stay afloat and not go bankrupt in case of a difficult situation. If so, then it’s right, ”Koloskov said in an interview with RT.
The initiative to create a fund for financing sports clubs came from the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin. Vladimir Putin approved it at a meeting of the Presidential Council on Sports.
Earlier, the deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on physical education, sports, tourism and youth affairs Valery Gazzayev commented on the rumors about his return to coaching.
