Every theory? Do elaborate.

I expect the sale of Augusto to be announced soon. He should never wear a PAOK jersey again.

ΠΑΡΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΠΡΟΚΡΙΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΜΗ ΣΑΣ ΠΑΡΕΙ Ο ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΣ! ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΠΑΜΕ ΕΚΔΡΟΜΕΣ!

With Brandon up front, I think it's curtains for us. Not too bothered about Augusto, half-decent player but always saw him more of a liability.

I have come to the conclusion that he is doing it on purpose so that the board will fire him and pay him the €7m. For me there is no other explanation.

I think it is time for Savvidis to come out and speak, especially when we are knocked out of Europe (perhaps next week). It is clear that he has problems: - He cannot bring his money from Russia into Greece, which means we cannot buy players without selling - He is in Rostov and doesn't see what is happening on the ground - He has no idea what is happening in Greek football in general Unfortunately on a political level he is a lost lamb. His life wasn't made at all easy by Marinakis and ND but it is his own fault for not making strong connections elsewhere. Savvidis came to Greece with various objectives in mind. Build his wealth and open a door for Russia. He has achieved both. PAOK has helped him become wealthier. Through this power he bought and sold SEKAP, along with various other ventures (hotels, for example). He owns the port, which in my opinion, was what he was ordered to get by Putin. For a lot of things I truly believe he is using ND and Athens as a smokescreen. Sure, they are making his life difficult but he could easily get sign off for the new stadium. He just needs to turn up with a few people, walk in and get it done (exactly how Melissanidis did). Although his blood may be Greek, his mentality and methods are Russian. That just doesn't work with the gangsters in Greece. I honestly think this season will be worse than the last one. I hope I am wrong but I think Savvidis has done everything he is willing to do with PAOK.

No we won't. Just as Kargas' mistake last year within the first few minutes told us exactly how our season was going to go, also today the missed penalty summed up exactly how this season will turn out.

I wouldn't mind seeing him sold. He is too hot-headed and picks up a lot of yellows.

I can't see us getting into the groups and think it will another 'rebuilding' season.

To be honest, what does it matter if it isn't certain that we will beat Beitar.

Hajduk it is.

I'll be going to the fan club for this one. Around this time last year I remember going there only to see an embarrassing 2-0 loss to the Bulgarians. Βάλτε 2-3 γκολ ρε μ@λ@κες να τελειώνουμε με τους Εβραίους!

Nantes coming in for Augusto. Apparently they have already agreed with the player on a four year contract. At this rate, I think Blackhawk and myself will be playing in midfield on Thursday.

I heard Tzimas will go to PAS Giannina.

I am sure we will get him and bench Konstantelias.

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα και πάρτε την πρόκριση. Εγώ και ο Σκωτσέζος θέλουμε να πάμε εκδρομές!

I don't understand some of these acquisitions. Why get someone if you are not going to use them. It sounds like some of these buys are just favours for agents.

I think you should start that up again. Would be cool if you had a different guest each week. Perhaps one week guest, the next week the lad from Australia, then guest, then back to Australia and so on.

The problem is that PAOK never learns from the same mistakes. It seems all our scouts are able to do it find players that used to play for us on loan and rehire them.

I think Kotarski will be sold if we do not make it through to the group stages. In fact I believe he will be one of a few. Perhaps Konstantelias and Zivkovic.

He still hasn't replied, so he was no doubt drowning in bridesmaids.

I haven't watched any of the games, however I have an awful feeling that this season is going to be even worse than the last one. In hindsight you could say that it was a mistake bringing Lucescu back, however it was even bigger one placing the €7m clause in his contract (ie. if any side wishes to terminate the contract, it must pay the other €7m). Lucescu will do nothing except sit on his contract, while Ivan probably already has his priorities set elsewhere. I hope I am wrong, but I think the 27th will be another "κηδεία" like last year in Sofia.

"I reckon maybe" - you ever thought about going into journalism?

Though it it does happen then we have no chance at finding a keeper of the same standard. Lucescu will probably get Biseswar back in on a GK contract.
