PAOK is owned by a Cyprus-based holdings company (DIMERA) whose titular head is indeed his son; at least, last I checked. That does not have much to do with ownership, as a shareholder that owns a controlling percentage of extant shares may appoint whomever he wants to both the board and the executive staff. And, of course, can remove them whenever he cares to. If his son is the legal owner of those shares on paper, perhaps he sold them to him (or gifted, or whatever). What's the issue here? Olympiakos is arguing that he gave someone loans to buy Xanthi, either through this company or through other means. Haven't seen any proof of that. I believe the below is the same DIMERA, which also gives mention of the cash infusions Savvidis is making (increase of nominal capital; aka, issuing additional shares that he "buys" from the company). https://opencorporates.com/companies/cy/HE170432

Looks like it happened, signed through the end of the season on loan. No buy out, so presumably we might want him back depending on how things shake out.

Hahaha my man!

Ahh, so it's just corruption all the way down then

Even assuming PAOK is butthurt about someone else controlling the refs, is the use of a neutral third party not an improvement? Personally, I think foreign refs being used is a net positive that should be used across UEFA. More of this, not less.

For those who didn't see it:

Wow, OFI shoulda scored there. Good save by our GK and the li'l guy

Agreed! Put another kid on, I say

Swiderski scores like 30 seconds after he comes on. Poor Akpom!

Nearly a hat trick by Pelkas, crossbar

Esiti coming on to shut down this scintillating OFI offense

That was a close one, great recovery by Pelkas

Haha yeah he kinda ran him over

Beautiful pass by Stoch to Akpom, who completely screwed that up

Nice goal by Korovesis. We should hire this guy

Pelkas converts, 2-0.

Penalty against Akpom. Kinda soft IMO

WOW Lamprou hahahahahaha

Streams available on bianconero's site btw

Good lineup thumbs up!

Blackhawk, you should never stand in the way of pedantic and unoriginal jokes. It's the only thing keeping him going.

I wouldn't be surprised if all we announce are a few more players leaving. De Graafschap is currently at 40 points, and is fighting for promotion to the Eredivisie. They're in third place, though second place is Ajax's reserve team which can't be promoted. If they slip, they'll be in a promotion play off (fourth place is tied with them on points so promotion is no sure thing). I think Mistakidis is sure to get a lot of time with this team (he'd be the second-most-valuable player on their roster, even with his drop since his injury). This might be a half decent move for him as he has a chance to really stand out there, and half the work of getting to a top flight is already done. This is assuming, of course, he plays as well as he did back in the day.

No Crespo OR Matos is very interesting. You'd think if Soares was going to prep for LB in Giannoulis' absence that he'd have someone on the right side. Perhaps we'll play 3 CBs? Sad that Gaitanidis isn't there. But we're also only bringing four wingers so does that mean Lamprou might play one last time??

I think he'd feel burned if he came back to us without thinking he'd be our likely #1. Which at this point I think is VERY unlikely inPAOK predicting an 8mm buyout for Misic, we'll know soon enough I guess...

It was 21°C yesterday and 3°C today in the Boston area. This is how you stay strong.
