  1. Demanding a lot from your players is a great trait.

  2. I dont know why he wouldn't want him back in the fold, Manolas played for JVS in the EQ vs Finland and Liechtenstein. I dont think he had any discipline issues while he was called up? Sokratis is a different story he went on the media and trashed the last coach and maybe JVS thinks he may lash out at him if he is not happy. Anyways JVS must include Manolas for the WCUP qualifiers especially if we are going to go up against strikers such as Lukaku, Lewandowski, Mpabbe etc. I hope common sense prevails.

  3. Ya it was.. I don’t see JVS reaching to him to be honest.. It seems like JVS Has a stubborn personality and demands a lot from his players, it doesn’t seem like he gives to many 2nd chances.. In saying that what did Manolas actually do to JVS? I think he should have at least reached out and had a conversation with Manolas and let him know what his expectations are if he rejoins the team..

  4. Yet another game for Aek where Svarnas and Mantalos were totally useless. Watch them starting for the national team in the next game 👍

  5. Let's be honest....we haven't had a good clear cut Transfer window in years, if ever. Not once have we ended a season and made the proper signings that would A.) Improve positions that were lacking the previous season B.) Improve to a level to compete in whichever stage of European Competition we were faced with and C.) Renewed existing contracts or Selling unwanted players, in a timely fashion. A couple years ago, although we had a successful season, we KNEW that we needed to beef up the midfield with more speed/creativity and what do we do? Let go of Sakhov and Canas, and borught in WHO, exactly? We switch Technical directors and Coaches every year so there is NEVER a solid long term plan in the workings. It's basically a revolving door of 1.New Coachh 2. New players for that coaches system 3. New TD to get those players 4. Coach leaves in a year 5. Scramble for New coach 6. Get Rid of players we just signed for the previous coach 7. Find NEW players for the new coach 8. Hire a new TD to get those players and round and round we go. Every Signing we make is a BAM that turns out to be Pew To Mauro Pistoli. It's honestly exhausting. So far Colac and Weiger (or however you spell their names) have been absolute duds (I know it's still early to tell).....In Traditional PAOK fashion we're dropping points left and right, and before we know it we're battling for 2nd or 3rd place by the 6th Week of the season. This off-season we knew we were keeping the coach. We knew that Akpom wanted to leave (per the TD press conference). We KNEW that we had issues in the midfield. We KNEW we needed a solid CF to go into CL. We knew Matos wasn't in the plans (and now he's back). We knew, we knew, we knew and still we got kourades, and last minute signings that are the equivalent of when you're the last one to get to the supermarket and have to pick from the crappy produce that's left over. I know everyone likes to talk about Marinaki and Melissanindi, but make no mistakes. Savvidis is a Mafioso. You don't go from squalor to becoming a multi billionaire in Russia by being an upstanding citizen. Just the fact that he's held high positions in the Russin govt proves that. Even if his intentions may be genuine, and he may love his Greek roots, and is proud of his Pontian heritage, and a champion of the Greek church/faith...it's all about the Rubles in the end. Did he buy the team to keep his mildly retarded son occupied and out of his hair? Maybe. 60-100 Million Euro's is a small price to pay to keep a Neanderthal, loser son out of the limelight (Current political events in US prove that point)... BUT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE AT LEAST GET SOME COMPETENT PEOPLE TO RUN THE BUSINESS!!! All this PAOK TV, PAOK Youtube channel, and heavy improvements in Social Media presence is basically like putting a Gucci belt on a pig...Sure, now you have a fancy pig...but it's still a pig. "...But, Boston....we won 3 Cups and had an undefeated season and made history!!" Let's clear things up....did the team WOW you on the field at all that season, with a few exceptions? Did we win or did everybody else just lose? Ok, that's probably the longest post I've ever written here...I'll just be like Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day and watch the match today...if we win I'll be jumping up and down screaming "PAOK S'AGAPW, PAOK EISAI O ENAS" and if we lose, I'll blame luck and fate or whatever other excuse I can find.
