  1. Someone on Instagram posted that we signed Spanish 2nd division player Casas. Eventually that Instagram post used Greek press reports that PAOK is after the player, which means that it was just stupid rumor.

    Instead of Hatzidiakos and Fountas, I would rather have players from our academies joining our 'A' team.

  2. Well here in the US the problem was that for the two channels (Antenna Satellite and Sport Plus) the satellite providers (Dishnetwork) were using SD (Standard Definition) instead of HD (High Definition). Since the beginning of this year Dishnetwork stopped distributing the Greek channels via their satellites (and SD) and instead they are now feeding those signals via streaming which resulted in a much better signal.

  3. PAOK and Pavlenka agreed to a 2-year deal, which will be officially announced when the keeper returns to Thessaloniki to start the pre-season training. This basically means that Kotarski is history.

    Taison turned down our 500K (+ bonuses) offer for one more season. Let's see if we will make him a better offer.

  4. Metrosport is the biggest enemy of PAOK in Thessaloniki, specially now that we decided not to use the Makedonikos stadium for the 'B' team games (Andronis: owner of Makedonikos and Metrosport). They employ some of the worst anti-PAOK reporters. I also like how they conveniently forget to mention any expenses that a club like PAOK might have.

  7. We are very close to announcing Pavlenka for 2 years at 600K per year.

    Also, the offer to Taylor is for 3-year contract at 800K per year. If the player agrees, he could be announced early next week.

    Another rumor is that we offered Taison a contract for 500K with reduced playing time as compared to previous seasons. 

  8. Here is the current situation in the Europa League Qualifying Round 3, where PAOK will start the 2025-2026 European season. Only confirmed teams are listed.

    Unseeded Teams (possible opponents for PAOK)

    Wolfsberger AC  (AUT)    9.500

    If we qualify:

    EUROPA LEAGUE - PLAYOFF ROUND  (August 21/August 28)

    Seeded Teams

    PAOK Thessaloniki      42.250

    Unseeded Teams (possible opponents for PAOK)

  9. Now that the coaching situation has been resolved (if there ever was one), let the rumors resume:

    - Tanzanian press is reporting that Samatta is negotiating with PAOK for a new contract

    - Despodov claiming that he has 2 years left in his contract, but anything can change in 24 hours

    - Otto is pretty much history

    - we are close to sign a left back as a Baba backup

    - Galatasaray is after Kotarski, but have not talked to PAOK about it yet.

  10. I was listening to some of the "sources" on radio today, and they are now claiming that the first meeting went very well and they were in agreement on the plans for next season. Apparently the big shouting match happened last Thursday during the second meeting, where Lucescu was criticized by Savvidis concerning the dismal results of last season. They claim that Lucescu was offended and all talks were frozen and the team is in a waiting mode until the coaching issue is resolved. At the end the same "sources" predict that Lucescu's fate is 50/50, so at the end they can claim that either way they predicted the outcome.
