Eto'
Sammy was not offially transfered to Anzhi, please don't put him in the squad. He just went to Russia for the medical check. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.0.77.17 (talk) 20:32, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Quality of article
"The club is known for it's notorious connections with the Russian Mafia, and the lack of general ethics in the footballing world." This is quite a claim! Any reliable documented evidence?

"Despite the clubs wealth they have never finished higher than 8th in Russian Premier League." Finished 4th in 2000 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seandeloughry (talk • contribs) 15:54, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Name
As pointed out in the article of FC Anji, "Анжи" is the former Kumyk name of Makhachkala; when transliterated to the Latin alphabet "Анжи", is "Anji", not "Anzhi". Additionally, the website, team coach (bus), etc. of FC Anji use "Anji", not "Anzhi", and since recently, UEFA recognises them as "Anji" following a request by FC Anji.

So, since "Анжи" is Kumyk, and not Russian, I believe the name of the article should be changed to the Kumyk transliteration "Anji". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coiseau (talk • contribs) 13:56, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The Kumyk romanization argument is completely off the mark, but it's also completely moot&mdash;if UEFA uses "Anji", that's where the problem ends. Common industry-specific spelling would trump romanization every time; it's only when no such spelling exists the romanization rules would apply.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 14, 2013; 23:41 (UTC)

Ovtseyoby (Sheepfuckers) - common nickname of FC Anzhi
The nickname "Ovtseyoby" (Sheepfuckers) is very popular among football community in Russia. It is used by fans of almost all Russian top-clubs (Spartak Moscow, CSKA, Zenit SPb, etc...). Many clubs have offencive nicknames which are included in Wikipedia's articles (for example, "bums (homeless)" for Zenit Saint Petersburg) 178.75.87.9 (talk) 20:26, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * If this should be even considered to be added into the article, firstly sevral good sources is needed. Thats my thought. --Divine time (talk) 13:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

FC Anzhi Makhachkala → FC Anji Makhachkala – Official club website uses "Anji" instead of Anzhi. UEFA also recognise the club as Anji. foxtrot 23:16, 1 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Name used in reliable sources is Anzhi Makhachkala or FC Anzhi Makhachkala, , , etc.

Google search heavily supports Anzhi: "Anji Makhachkala" 189,000 results vs. "Anzhi Makhachkala" 2,550,000 results. Zarcadia (talk) 10:51, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. --BDD (talk) 17:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose per Zarcadia. We don't necessarily use official names (or romanizations), and the current form is clearly the one used in a majority of reliable sources. --BDD (talk) 17:02, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I have only ever seen it spelt 'Anzhi' in English-language sources, so 'Anzhi' is the correct name per COMMONNAME. GiantSnowman 09:36, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
