Here's the thing - the team will not root out the bad apples. Those psychos (G4) have managed to convince themselves AND the team that they are the lifeblood of PAOK. The team is scared sh1tless of them. I'm sick of this garbage. And to those reading this and thinking "well Savvidis is an absentee owner, he needs to do more" - WHAT? Since when do we need a daddy to tell a team how to be run? Why is G4 acting like a human beings contingent on a strongman kowtowing to the mob? Do they not have an administrative staff? Security? Coaches? Do you need our big Russian daddy to pat your head and tell you you're a good and worthwhile boy? To whisper platitudes about how strong and handsome these hooligans are as he tucks each and every one of them into bed at night? In civilized countries, professionals do their jobs and "fans" don't riot with impunity in their own home stadiums. As far as the unvaccinated fans go - every team should be punished for it every time a single person in their stadium is found breaking the rule. It is not a sufficient excuse to say "but but but everyone ELSE does it and they don't get in trouble!" Maybe if those other teams' fans were jumping barriers and entering the field, they'd be found out too?

The fines for the Aris game are in: 4 games without fans (Lamia, Tripoli, AEL, Panaitolikos) € 193,500 fine Additionally the Greek government punished PAOK with a 1 game ban for gates 4 and 4A due to non-compliance with COVID restrictions. This ban will be served in the game with Lamia for which PAOK is already banned anyway.

I read that article today, they also said they only have about $500,000 to spend on a coach so right there you can forget about any big name coach coming for that kind of money.

An article in Sport24 today is saying Jimenez name is in the forefront for the NT job. The other options are Donis, Dellas, Ouzounidis and Anastasiou. EPO want to hire a coach in the next few weeks and Santos is considered to be a real long shot at this point as is Valverde. If those are only options I would take Donis.

Absolutely. Don't bother fighting it. Who cares. The team will probably play better.

I say: accept this punishment and hush. Then start demolishing gate 4 like Barça kicked out "Boixos Nois" and make us a club to visit with the entire family that buy tickets instead of those "dsabatzides" that try to enter the stadium together with you. And put some 7 ft monsters at the gates to check flares and other stuff.

Makes sense since today's EPO is controlled by Melissanidis and AEK. Worst possible selection in my opinion. Can't decide if it would he would be worse than Gatuzzo.
