For the first time the Ukrainian football Premier League was headed by a foreigner. The body of the organization was the Swiss lawyer Thomas Grimm.
For him voted 10 clubs out of 12.
Here are a few points from the Grimm program:.
- Integration of television rights into a single pool for sale - attraction of investors for reconstruction and construction of new stadiums - expansion of up to 16 UPL teams - increase in clubs' incomes - neutrality of ULP relative to clubs. With these tasks, the previous head of the ULP Vladimir Geninson.
He stated that if he could not pool the pool, he himself would resign. But this did not.
"I will not promise such as Geninson: do or leave. First I need to understand and study how football works in Ukraine.
With my vast experience, I will try to help you develop. For a better future and earning money, a single pool is needed from the next season, "Grimm told" Profbouto "on the channel" 2 + 2 ".
To his duties, Grimm will start this week, and the first match he will visit in Ukraine - Shakhtar - Dynamo.
