Blackhawk

George Savvidis must have been drinking when he posted that we don't need a left back since we already have Giannoulis for that position.

The Aris ex-coach Paco Hererra in an interview in Spanish press said that he was forced by Aris alleged owner/president to accept Raul Bravo as his assistant coach. He also mentioned that Raul Bravo loaned the alleged owner/president of Aris close to 300K Euro. Raul Bravo is the player that has been accused of match fixing in Spain. He also played for Olympiakos, Veroia and Aris in the past.

Before we know it he will be playing as a goalkeeper. It looks like we ended negotiations with Shakhov. PAOK doubled his salary, but Shakhov did not accept the offer. We also supposedly told Canas to reply by Friday.

Siabanis was not renewed because in his past and current negotiations he refused to be loaned and demanded a set number of games, something PAOK did not agree to. If he signs with Olympiakos I see him being loaned to one of their friendly teams (Panionios, OFI, Aris).

That appears to be the case. Apparently our bluff worked and Silva's team dropped their asking price. If that really is the case I expect Canas to renew with us. In other rumors, Koulouris has apparently asked not to join the team for pre-season training and will probably be sold and/or loaned. Also in ex-PAOK players news, Olympiakos is talking to Siabanis to join them. Coinsidering who his agent is this not a surprised.

The limit will be set at 22,000 season tickets.

Additional pre-season friendlies have been confirmed. So far we have: July 3, TBA: PAOK - AZ Alkmaar (WWNA) July 6, TBA: PAOK - FC Nordsjælland (WWNA) July 9, 20:00 EEST: PAOK - PEC Zwolle (USV Nieuwleusen) July 12, 19:00 EEST: PAOK - Universitatea Cluj (Cluj Arena)

Well we already own Panaitolikos according to the toothless clown as well as Atromitos and PAS Giannina according to Olympiakos and their puppets.

Wow the Greek sports media must be desperate for any news, so instead they create fake news. One tumor I heard is that we got some guy from Apollon Larisa and we immediately loaned him to Xanthi (the team that is supposedly owned by Savvidis according to the clown Georgiou) . The reporter even claimed that the player is already in Xanthi as he writes it. My bet is that he is on some beach in Halkidiki. Lucas Poletto is the players name.

The elimination by Ostersud was a major blow.

Don't expect more than 15,000 in attendance.

He might get away with just a warning if it was in a supplement that he did not know about. Example is Baniotis in 2014. Otherwise he is looking at 2 years.

Since AEX was able to eliminate them last season I don't see a reason why we should have problems eliminating them.

That would make too much sense, which is unknown quality in Greece.

Concerning Rey, I think we have seen the last of him. The 500K buyout clause is laughable if you consider that we paid 1.3 mil for him. Sadly, he never got a chance to play last season driving his price even lower. Hopefully he has a good season at Pachuca and the Mexicans pay the 500K. The Silva rumors are probably nothing more than negotiation tactics by both sides. Lets not forget he has the same agent as Jaba and he has been shopping Jaba around. That probably has indirect implications on the Silva negotiations.

The players are on vacation. No intentions putting their feet into the fire.

2:0 now.

Poor defending. Paschalakis should have saved it.

Poor defending and goaltending. Result is 1:0 lead for Turkey.

And that's after leading the first set 5-1 only to lose it 7-6

Starting lineup: Πασχαλάκης, Κούτρης, Μαυρίας, Βαλεριάνος, Κουρμπέλης, Σιώπης, Σάμαρης, Πέλκας, Φορτούνης, Μασούρας, Κουλούρης Bench: Βλαχοδήμος, Μπάρκας, Κώτσιρας, Σταφυλίδης, Σιόβας, Μπουχαλάκης, Μπακασέτας, Ντουρμισάι, Κολοβός, Μάνταλος

Step in right direction. The only thing I would like to see is all the teams starting the competition from Round 1.

All three PAOK players (Paschalakis, Pelkas, Koulouris) are starters in the friendly against Turkey, which starts in 5 minutes.

More details about the next Greek Cup competition surfacesd: - first 2 rounds will be played among the winners of the regional Amateur Cups - (47 teams) - Football League teams will enter the competition in Round 3 - (14 teams) - Super League 2 teams will enter the competition in Round 4 - (12 teams) - Super League 1 teams (except those playing European competitions) will enter the competition in Round 5 (Round of 32) - (9 teams) - Super League 1 teams that will play European Competitions will enter the competition in Round 6 (Round of 16) - (5 teams) - Rounds 1-6 will be single game affairs. For Rounds 1-4 the teams playing in a lower division than their opponents will be the home team. For Rounds 5 and 6 the home team will be determined after a draw - Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be home and away two leg games - Final will be a single game in a neutral venue which will be determined after the two finilists are known. EPO reserves right to have the final be played outside of Greece

PAOK's accepted and voted for the new system, as the other options were even worse. As far as I know PAOK was always for a 16-team league without playoffs/outs.
