"If you don’t bring it in an envelope (he means: to the state coach), you won’t get anywhere."
And ? Do you know that isn't true? Probably he has informations. Otherwise we are talking about Russia but we can talk about my country. There are many football clubs where the coaches let play those children whose parents give money to the coach. This is a well-known fact, even among children. It is true, I meet such children who know this.
What is the greater problem if this is true, or Plushenko openly talked about it? He didn't name anyobody.
This was widely discussed here already, you can't be surprised. Are those a respectful, unbiased words towards the colleagues? I don't think so. I think those are aggressive, biased, hostile words.
Not to mention his hints about "how big share of the earn is taken away from skaters (Alina and even Zhenya

). Did he had some secret talks with their teams about the details of their contracts? I doubt about it.
Those are not secret informations. I have seen their incomes in the Russian Forbes's page. LOL! And why is that so terrible thing if he wants more money for them if there is a chance for it? Probably there are better agents.
Eteri maybe plays hard, but I've never seen her start such clash at any occasion. Anytime she said something about Plushenko, it was a reaction to what he said. Anytime when rules have changed (and many people publicly started talks about "this will be hard for her school" like with the "Zagitova Rule"), she has never made any comment. When she announced Sasha's leaving, tons of hateful comments apeared on her personal instagram (GS doesn't exist in vacuum, of course people are influenced by what is said elsewhere). People here also make ironic comments like "did she receive flowers" etc. It's not that they shouldn't be allowed to say such things, but the situation is not that "hordes of Eteri's worshippers are attacking innocent Plushyfans. The imagination that only Eteri or her fans are creating drama is simply not true.
You have rigth to think that.
