Agreement has been reached. Superleague 1 starts on September 11. PAOK plays PAS Giannina.

Apparently Nova offered 7 mil which would mean a pay cut from last season. I would say Open TV for Greece and PAOK TV for us outside of the country.

The Beatles singing a song with the music written by Mikis Theodorakis:

One of the greatest Greeks of modern times. True ambassador of Greece to the World, and not only in music. R.I.P. Miki. and one clip from a Thanassis Veggos movie playing banned music of Mikis Theodorakis. Sadly both Veggos and Theodorakis spent time in concentration camp of Makronisos because of their political beliefs.

Also players such as Lyratzis, Tsiggaras, Koutsias, Konstantelias will most likely be making frequent trips between the main team and the 'B' team.

The friendly will apparently not be televised.

The PAOK 'B' roster as it is being formed following the first two friendly games: GOALTENDERS Nikos Bourganis (24) Konstantinos Balomenos (19) Ivo Marovic (17) (Montenegro) RIGHT BACKS Stathis Tachatos (19) Dimitris Tsopouroglou (19) CENTER BACKS Panagiotis Panagiotou (19) Giannis Manolioudis (18) Konstantinos Koulierakis (18) Collins Sichenje (23) (Kenya) LEFT BACKS Marios Tsaousis (21) Petros Kaloutsikidis (20) Aventis Aventisian (19) DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD Daniel Musamali (19) (Kenya) Ismahila Quedraogo (22) (Burkina Faso) Achilleas Salamouras (21) Kyriakos Giaxis (20) Vasilis Grosdis (19) Titos Kountenakis (18) OFFENSIVE MIDFIELD Zisis Chatzistravos (22) Konstantinos Korelas (21) Panagiotis Tzimas (20) FORWARDS Vasilis Fasidis (25) Tasos Meletidis (22) Vladimir Bradonjic (22) Antonis Gaitanidis (21) Dimitris Panidis (20) Vasilis Gordeziani (19)

Our history against Sweden: 6 games - 2 wins, 3 ties, 1 loss There is also a game we played against Sweden in the 1920 Olympics, which we lost 9:0, but it's not an official FIFA game because EPO did not exist then.

Our history against Kosovo: 2 games - 1 win, 1 tie, 0 losses

Our history against Switzerland: 14 games - 2 wins, 4 ties, 8 losses

Friendly pre-season game against Veroia NFC in Veroia on Saturday, September 4 at 18:00 EEST. Veroia is coached by ex-PAOK coach Dermitzakis. Also Mystakidis is part of their roster.

He is having tough time against Murray. Lost the 1st set and barely won the 2nd in a tie breaker. let's see if he can put him away.

I agree. Also the obvious fact that there is no cooperation between the 'A' and the 'B' team makes this set up kind of useless. For starters the coaches of the two teams can't stand each other. How can they cooperate for the good of the club and the players?

Kind of begs the question, what the hell did we need a PAOK 'B' team for?

Possibly several of our current players will not be with us next season as their contracts expire on June 30, 2022. Looks like we are in the middle of building a team for 2 or 3 years down the road (ie. rebuilding process). Players whose contract expire after this season: Paschalakis Zivkovic Crespo Ingason Lyratzis Sidclay Varela Biseswar Kagawa Vieirinha Akpom Zivkovic Tsiggaras Of those I would hope that they re-sign Ingason, Zivkovic A. and Tsiggaras.

The minimum points in the first 3 games should be 7 points. With a win at Toumba against Copenhagen in the 4th game we will lock in the 2nd place, if not the 1st place.

Got it. Enjoy your stay in the Windy City.

I think right now Copenhagen is a better team than us. Also Slovan eliminated us once allready, so nothing will surprise me. If we don't show up to play and not take these teams seriously we will pay for it.
