Good luck boys get the job done!!

Yes after reading his comments I think he is surely gone. Just hope the money is spent and spent quickly enough to give the new player/s time to gel with the team. If we can get a good winger, another CB and a DM as cover, we can surely put on a title charge. Had my doubts about Almeida but so far it seems he wants to be here and is making an effort so hope he is the difference for us once the season starts as we have really lacked up top last 2 seasons. And if Patito hits his strides we are going to see a real talent.

A good team really? Until now no one ever new of them, now they are a good team lol comical..... Wonder if you'd be saying they are a good team if Oly had beaten them.

Reaper rules are rules, it was made clear nothing to be thrown on the pitch, many fan bases got bans/fines last season it wasn't only Oly and they should count themselves lucky as they avoided a point deduction (not that it would've mattered on the league table) where as other teams received fine and point deduction. As for the delay sad that it has come to this again BUT reality is if EPO had done what was agreed with UEFA there would be no need for the delay, so we need to stop blaming Kontonis and lay the blame where it deserves to be laid and that's at EPO. They want to agree things then go back on their word? F*** em they get no pity from me, they have done NOTHING to improve the league, they have only bowed down to their master.

Happy for Platellas to come in BUT he needs to be more consistent and not go hiding in games as that's his biggest issue, other than that im sure he can get the job done with the style Ketsbaia has the team playing. Not saying its good to let Barbosa go as he does play his part for the team. Anyway lets see what happens with it ,$2mill can surely get us some cover if they wana spend it

Kougias is a joke, whoever believes the things he says have issues. The guy claimed 2 season's ago live on TV he met with Meli and Meli told him do you want to be president of EPO. Firstly why would Meli go meet this clown after all the s%$#! that happened between AEK and Panachaiki in B Ethniki? Secondly Meli ain't dumb he knows he is a puppet to Marinakis, the last thing he would do is offer him the presidency.

Didn't Anderlecht knock out Oly last season in Europe? Belgian teams have always had the edge on Greek teams. Overall their league is run better, they produce better players, they have better infrastructures and facilities than what Greece do, this alone just makes them better than the Greek League.

As said above $2mill isn't bad money for him but if we are going to sell him that money needs to be spent on either another midfielder or another winger to cover him.

The money goes back into their development programmes (sure the owner will pocket's a sum) that's why they keep producing players over and over. But I agree on the last part about FIFA & UEFA being corrupt, how they have left Greek Football in this state proves that.

Its a common thing Pana many rich do it only a few will get caught, but its mainly the little people who don't pay $500 as example who get caught most of the time while the ones who owe millions keep living without issues....

They have structures in place in order to succeed or go forward as clubs and as a league, what structures do the Greek teams in place in their academies? What long term goals do the Greek teams have? This is why Belgian Football is way ahead of Greece and always has been. Their teams may not make CL finals but they will always make decent money on selling players and good luck to them as what they have in place works for them.

And that's my point Reaper he bagged and bagged Marinakis even went live on TV and showing documents of his corruption then all of sudden he comes out and says "Greek Football will be at a loss without Marinakis" as I said he is a little puppet to Marinakis now all because he wanted a team in the Super League. The guy is a joke.

This is Marinakis going after him surely, but Alafouzos had to be have been smarter and not let himself get caught so easily. Its becoming a BIG mess and personal vendettas are coming into it.... We ALL know Alafouzos isn't the only one paying people with black money, but as they say "only the dumb get caught" will be interesting to see what comes of this and if Pateras comes in expect a bigger war to erupt between owners.

The Belgium league is way ahead of the Greek League I agree, their youth set ups are some of the best in the world and they do produce some quality players. The Greek teams struggle against Belgian teams when we meet them in Europe. Losing to Brugge as example isn't a bad thing or something to be ashamed about but on the other hand losing to Qabala isn't the best thing either. Yes Qabala went on a decent run in Europe but a team like that PAO should be putting them away, especially when playing them at home.

AEL words are from their owner Kougias who is Marinakis little bitch. All of a sudden he wants to come out and play hard ball, F*** him. Asteras are being hypocrite's as mentioned above. I am not siding with Kontonis but Girtzikis needs to piss off and EPO needs a cleanout, they have done nothing to progress Greek Football nor have they done anything about cleaning up the corruption as they are all benefitting from it. Seems the ones who want Girtzikis to stay and leave the same people in EPO are obviously happy at the current state of the league, which will only shrink more and more.

Awesome cant wait to see AEKs draw so I can get a few games in since I will be there Sept/Oct....

Lol this excitement over a friendly, guess they need all they can to take the focus off their dismal CL qualification exit...

Highly doubt that's true since its been said he is staying at Oly.... Would be nice though even at his age the guy is a machine player.

Also has to do with the member associations in Greek Football, they claim is the refs that have been chosen are the Associations who are siding with Girtzikis.

I think the problem is the ones who have been assigned are ones of Girtzikis mates. Also there was an agreement between EPO and UEFA, seems it hasn't been honoured.

I think there is a group who don't get assigned, the ones who aren't with Girtzikis and his bitch ass crew.

Will be good to see OFI and Aris come back

Hate to say I told you so Tzatziki, anyway lets see if this guy can turn it around because atm things aren't good for Oly and I don't think they have been in this mess for a very long time. Will be interesting to see how they come out of it.

Good on them for once again making a stand, we ALL (well except Oly fans) know that change is needed ASAP in this league the way its become. Elections are not to far away either so hopefully that pethameno m**** Grtzikis F***s off.

Let the circus begin again gamoto, but good on them for making a stand to this bullshit. EPO are a disgrace. I hope they don't delay the league too long I wana catch a game when I am there......
