Read again (bold)...talked to the people close to the club. Their words - not mine, I belive them though, since I know how some people are working in klub (#samomutnaposlapress&nosalariesforplayers).
I hope they resolve all things and manage to stay in KHL!
Sorry, I didn't understand that you talked to them in person 
So, basically, it means either KHL or nothing (almost, because Slo league is big downgrade of course)
