Marinakis also decided not to change the format of the league. That means the stupid playoffs/outs remain and only one team gets relegated directly. I am sure the 34 team of Superleague 2 are happy about that. Superleague1 draw is set for July 25.

Looks like the deal for Narey has been completed. Players should be travelling to Thessaloniki to sign the 3-year contract.

PAOK has been losing money every season for as long as I can remember. During the Savvidis reign the biggest loss was the season after we won the championship. We were in a hole around 20 mil and that's why we had big issues with FFP. There was a big improvement the last accounting period, where we were down only around 5 mil. All you have to do is watch how much is the Capital Share Increase after each annual shareholders meeting. At the last one it was 5 mil. Since Savvidis is the majority shareholder, he is the one that forks out the money. It's been a losing proposition for him and I am not surprised he has been trying to reverse that. Specially after seeing where the current trend in Greek football is heading.

Brandon Thomas is due in Thessaloniki tomorrow to finalize the 1+1 deal with PAOK.

If you really want to know the numbers, why don't send your job application to the PAE PAOK accounting department. I am sure Maria Gontcharova is looking for expert accountants.

My projection is 1 to 2 medals. Tentoglou and maybe Stefanidi if she can greatly improve on her seasons best.

1:0 final score

PAOKSYD unless you missed it, Savvidis clearly said that he wants the team to be self sufficient and that he will not be throwing money down the toilet every year. After almost going bankrupt (FFP) following the championship season the team has been following that path. With Boto at the helm you can expect that trend to continue.

I guess this Soteldo guy would be a replacement for Biseswar, who is apparently now not resigning with us. We are definitively in a rebuilding mode right now. Might be 2 to 3 years before we are title contenders again.

27-year old Spanish 2nd division forward Brandon Thomas is the Colak replacement. 9 goals in 40 games for Malaga last season.

2:2 final score

Never impressed me playing with the NT.

2:0 Mihaj

Zivkovic 1:0

PAOK - AZ Alkmaar Lineup for first half: Kotarski, Lyratzis, Mihaj, Kargas, Soares R., Tsiggaras, Schwab, Konstantelias, Soares F., Tsaousis, Zivkovic A. Projected lineup for 2nd half: Zivkovic Z., Sastre, Ingason, Koulierakis, Vieirinha, Augusto, Kurtic, Kougliata, Dantas, Tzimas, Lambrou Basically we are playing without any true forward since we are not left with any.

Just to prove my point that both of our tennis players are "losers", Sakkari managed to be eliminated by a German mother of two and ranked 110th.

Koutsias scored both goals in Greece's last game in the Mediterranean Games against Portugal. The final score was 2:0. Greece finished 4th in the group and was eliminated.

2:0 win against Portugal in the last game. Fi nal group standigs: 1. Italy 7 2. Turkey 4 3. Portugal 3 4. Greece 3

Lambrou will be loaned/sold. Colak will eventually be sold. Same thing with Augusto unless we extend his contract.

Yes he got injured at the end of the game. Hopefully it's not serious.

4:0 Konstantelias

Ricardo 3:0. Nice goal after a great Kaddouri cross.

Unbelievable. Flare thrown on the pitch in a pre-season friendly game. No doubt by a PAOK fan.
