Blackhawk

Not enough money to keep the teams operating without a financial loss. There is just not enough TV revenue and sponsorships to keep the teams from going broke. In Xanthi's case though the decision is probably because the Australian based owner is prosecuted by authorities for money laundering.

AO Xanthi, our supposed 'B' team in the past has withdrawn from participation in upcoming Superleague 2. It is expected that more teams will fail to participate due to financial reasons.

Well deserved call for Koulierakis. He has been a pleasant surprise replacing the injured Michailidis on the PAOK squad. as it is Both Koulierakis and Michailidis is a better choice on the NT in place of Tzavellas.

Watched the 2nd half. Well deserved win. Olympiakos is one pathetic team this season.

Very bad result against one of the worst teams in the league. Next game against the best team in the league, Panthinaikos.

And there is 1:1 and end of game.

Sport Plus as all the illegal streams are freezing.

12 corners and not single one well taken.

Thomas, El Kaddouri in Augusto, Oliveira out

Halftime. We better score one more to be on the safe side.

He suffered a major stroke. PAOK legend.

Swiderski scored twice for Charlotte against Chicago Fire last night including the game winner in the 90th minute for the 3:2 win. Was gonna go to the game, but changed my mind. The Fire sucks this season and I didn't want to deal with driving downtown and paying 30 dollars for parking.

We are not playing well, but had two more clear chances to score with Augusto an Oliveira. Kurtic is non-existent in midfield.

Goal Narey

All blue/purple uniforms by PAOK today.

This Augusto as dekari experiment by Lucescu has to stop. I also don't think Vieirinha should be starting.

Looks like we should have never exercised our purchase option on Sastre ...

My projected lineup for this game: ----------- Kotarski (Zivkovic) ----------- Lyratzis - Ingason - Koulierakis - Tsaousis ---- Dantas --------------- Kurtic -------- Narey ------- El Kaddouri ------ Zivkovic -----------------Thomas -----------------

Now that the Summer 2022 transfer period is over let’s summarize the results.

I think we are done. There is still a window until September 30th for free agents, but I don't see any involvement by PAOK. If it was up to me I would suggest to you pash to open the January 2023 transfer thread.

Friendly against Panserraikos on September 25 at 17:00 EEST at Toumba. Once again behind closed doors and no TV coverage.

The player did not want to come to PAOK. In any case I don't understand why Boto could not find another "10" since the coach was asking for one. In other news, Koutsias extended his contract with PAOK for 4 more years (250K per season) and was immediately loaned to Volos for one year. Still don't understand why we keep dealing with that crook Beos after all these years.

Net TV Plus is not a bad service, but as Aetos tis Olandias mentions there is no direct revenue for PAOK. Since Net TV Plus is part of Novasport we get paid through the contract with NOVA. I have a feeling that NOVA told PAOK they can't show the games, so more people could subscribe to Net TV Plus, or demanded a cut from the subscription that PAOK TV sold.
