Well it's kind of ironic that they turned to Igor to save them from the mess Kustarova seemed to be creating, then came back from Igor in even more of a mess, and Kustarova had to come to the rescue to sort out the mess. As I remember, if Elena hadn't dropped her bracelet, they'd have been going to Euros, so it was a pretty good turnaround by the end of the season.
Oh how I wish they'd never gone to Igor, what a mistake that was.
The problem is that everything is rushed. I don't see how a team is going to get better with a month with another coach. This needs time and planning. And not even Kustarova seemed to be doing that much good for them the season before. To be honest, I don't really know what's missing in all of this.
