KHL Business Talk

[cska78]

and that's because you think so or do you actually have proof outside the seemingly inerradicable belief everyone is corrupt in Russia?

P.S. I doubt your age qualifies you for that form of address, kid.

yes, a lot in Russia is corrupt, opening up the salary's is another farce and trying to imitative NHL. Not for a second do I believe that SKA's budget is that, nor do i believe them to be under the cap

I kinda agree about the farce part, because this wage info release leaves a lot to be desired. For example what's the data stamp for this table? Was that a situation after the transfer deadline in winter or on the first day of the season? Or maybe it's some sort of median? How can some teams be under the cap?

Also what exactly KHL (besides trying to copy NHL for no reason) wants to achieve by giving away this info?

They call it the policy of opened salaries, so this seems to be the first step. The aim is to know how much every player earns.

1. There is no more corruption in Russia than in the US. If you don't know about it or don't want to know doesn't change it.

2. They are all under the cap whether you like it or not. Spreading obscure rumours will never stop, I think. There always will be ppl talking about "$10 Mil to Radulov" and "$15 Mil to Malkin". Grimm brothers wrote some fairy tales. There are ppl who read them. It's ok. But these are official numbers by the league. You say the league is lying? Why? Because it's a russian league?

1. What for?

2. It's against the law if the players are not willing to give us this information.

 

[VladNYC*]

These numbers are the team salaries not counting those salaries that don't count towards the cap?

lol, sorry, your credibility falls with every statement...when I said kid, I didn't mean your age, I meant the way of stating things - like one and only truth. In USA cops don't let you go for money, and don't harass you just because you are dressed well to begin with. But this is just so off-topic now.

lol I have no words for your comment. US cops are pure evil compared to Russian police. But as you mentionnd off topic.

My credibility with YOU is reallly nothing I care about. You probably base your opinion about Russia on things you heard from somebody who knows someone who claims to know something. Your picture of Russia reminds me of the Cold War movies about the USSR. Simplistic prejudices. US cops don't let you walk for money? And russian cops always do? Who is childish here? Just because you believe things they don't need to be that way. Russian cops harass anybody because they are dressed well? Sorry, this has to be from some parallel universe.

these are all my personal experiences in Russia. Grow up, please. This is getting very off topic.

 

[ViD]

The "harassing" part is kind of exaggeration, but I do agree that in Russia you can get away with a crime if you pay well.

Anyway, I heard that some teams were still exploiting so called black salaries by employing players relatives and paying them some good money, obviously it doesn't count towards any player salary cap

I'm sorry for the Ot but stats speak another language: http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results

 

[Bure]

I'd agree that Russia is more corrupt. But don't be fooled, US just does a much better job of covering up their corruption.

Anyways I don't see a reason the KHL would post fake numbers like that. For what reason would they?

because the pay roll is much higher, and the ceiling is violated by skas, kazan', ufa etc

Is that just speculation though? We don't know the real numbers.

again, multiple times in Russia i was stopped on fictitious reasons, such as dark circles under my eyes, suspiciously pulling a little rock from my sneaker, or asking on what ground a drunken cop is demanding papers from my 16 y.o. cousin. All personal experience.

 

[cska78]

no we don't, just an imho.

 

[Bure]

no we don't, just an imho.

Ok fair enough. Only reason I think it would be odd to post fake numbers is why not just keep the info hidden completely like before.

 

[cska78]

have you lived during the SU? we used pretend to be one thing and be another, that mentality won't change quick enough.

 

[ozo]

Fake or not, it makes sense to rebuff the suspicions of people that one or two teams are above the cap.

 

[Bure]

That doesn't mean that absolutely everything in Russia is corrupt.

Yeah I understand.

 

[cska78]

never sad that, but my circle of acquaintances are businessmen and police figures, so I only pass on what they tell me.
