Irlandos Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 After the 3rd round results (AEK - Atromitos 3-2 and PAOK - PAO 1-0), the playoff tables for positions 2-5 is as follows: 1. PAOK-------7 2. AEK---------6 3. PAO --------5 4. Atromitos---2 It looks like second-place finishers PAO are falling apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athinaios Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If AEK beats PAOK, then it'll come down to PAO-AEK in the last game. That's nice. May the best team win. And, actually AEK would have to win in order to advance. As for PAO, they may go to the CL preliminaries but with this kind of playing they won't go far. Plus, most of these players will leave anyway. It's time to rebuilt, once again. Sadly, I don't see Greek teams being competitive next season. The domestic league is f@ked up.

Irlandos Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 After the 5th round results (AEK - PAOK 2-0 and Atromitos - PAO 0-1) the playoff tables for positions 2-5 is as follows: 1. PAO -------11 2. AEK---------9 3. PAOK-------7 4. Atromitos---5 Should AEK defeat PAO in the last playoff game, AEK will go to the CL. Any other result favours PAO.

athinaios Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Without the +4 that PAO started with, the situation would have been the reverse! PAO would have to beat AEK, no other result would do. I think with a PAO win they'd have the advantage over PAOK should they beat Atromitos at home. Actually I'm not convinced about the need for the playoffs. Why should a team that comes second have to play others ..20 point below in the standings? I think they should have 20 teams (England does and they have 2 cups plus the league plus long euro competitions) in the league and no playoffs. I'd also suggest that the cup be open only to teams that haven't made it to european competition the previous year so lesser teams can compete for a title. There's something wrong with 2-3 teams, the same year after year, get all the titles in Greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I agree about getting rid of the playoffs but 20 teams is a bit much for Greece. I liked it that one year when we had only 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athinaios Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 For a small country in such a financial trouble (for many, many years to come), fewer teams are needed, I think. It's not the number of games; If athletes can play so many games in Germany and England and Spain, why not in Greece too? They are all professionals. Having fewer teams over all but more in div. 1 may be better for the sport. Stronger teams, more competitive, better finances, etc. There's too much width not enough depth in the Gr league. See what Atromitos and Halkidona did. Atromitos was going to div 3 and Halkidona was mid-table, but since they merged Atromitos is the most successful Greek team in my opinion, measuring their success given their budget and resources.

Atromitos will play in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League. PAOK will play in the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
