PAE PAOK General News

During a General Assembly of PAE PAOK today, Ivan Savvidis increased the operating budget by 19.5 million Euro.  Some of this money will be in a form of a loan from Dimera to PAE PAOK. reports say that eventually the loan will be turned into shares of the team. 11.4 million from this will be used pay off the team's debt to the government. The rest will be used to cover the operating loss for the last season.

For you guys in Boston and Toronto as well mark your calendars.

 

The 2004 NT veterans that won the Euro plans on playing friendly games against the Portugal veterans in June.

 

PAOK will be represented by Georgiadis and Papadopoulos.

Yeah, they're playing in Lawrence, MA. It is literally a high school football stadium, which sometimes hosts 3rd-division soccer. Might go if it's cheap, I guess.

On Wednesday PAOK plays the Euro 2004 NT in a charity game. I hope Gergiadis is not that stupid to play the starters in this game. The way the injuries happen at PAOK these days I would not risk it at all. BTW Georgiadis will coach PAOK for one half and then play for the NT in the other half. Otto is supposed to the NT coach.

I still have trouble believing he'll invest beyond that. I can't see what the return would possibly be for him...why throw more money after bad? As I said on the old forum, if he does nothing more than pay off the debts and let the club steam along, I will still be grateful.

So it cost Savvidis close to 11 mil to pay the debt created by the crooks (Batatoudis, Goumenos, Zagorakis, etc.). Big feat considering he did not create a single Euro in debt since he took over. He paid dearly for other people's mistakes. This move Ivan, can only mean one thing. He is not going anywhere. Now I expect him to proceeds with his other plans (new training grounds/refurbished Toumba).

Hopefully he will also clean up the front office and hires people that will try to make the team competitive.

during his interview we heard Ivan mention that his son is in Spain (i think?) in talks with people over there in regards to PAOK... i guess PAOK is becoming a family thing for the Savvidis'

 

more reason to clear debts...

Gotta admit, I'm surprised.  None of the debt was his and morally he could never have paid it back and I wouldn't hold it against him.  As others suggested, it does mean he's in for the long term, which is a great thing compared to the crooks we had before!

 

Maybe it was a tactical move from him.  The debt in theory was never ever going to go away, so paying the $11M compared to the original $30M (or whatever the amount was) was probably the best deal he was ever going to get.  I suppose it means the issue is buried now and any future government doesn't have something with which to hold the club to ransom.

 

Does this mean we are entire debt free ?  Nothing else outstanding ?

 

What is this never ending talk about needing a new training ground ?  Is our current one so bad ?

The one that was in the plans from a year back, seemed excessive for us. Even if all of the teams practiced simultaneously. I'd be much more interested in a covered stadium. Get that incredible atmosphere tuned just right, acoustics-wise...would be a sight (and sound) to behold.

Looks like it's made up of at least some retired players on our side as well. Garcia and Schnauchner. Wonder if Ivic will play as well.
