Michel's words why Ivic did not want to continue at PAOK:

I watched the Serbia game. The Prijovic pass on the goal was a beauty.

The 600K figure came from the Metrosport Media group, which has proven to have a very anti-PAOK bias. I don't really believe any of the media speculations because I don't think they have a clue what really happened. I think Lubos Michel came out and explained the reasons. I will believe him before I believe any of the unfounded rumors from all the media. My own speculation is that Ivic's brother will try and bring him to Olympiakos, because I don't think the Albanian coach they got will last more thank 3 months.

Karnezis saves us twice.

I always said Mandalos is a useless player.

Also Skai TV has a live stream, but only available in Greece. http://www.skai.gr/player/tvlive/

I am not talking about the forum. I am talking about PAOK and Michel. Get a coach first and then get the coach to agree to the transfers.

PAE PAOK makes it official. Ivic is history. Bring in the 91st PAOK coach.

Up to a point I agree. UEFA should have banned EPO, but instead they appointed Koutsokoumnis to oversee things. They appointed someone, who is more corrupted than Girtzikis was. Considering that certain people in Greece have good connections at FIFA/UEFA, their goal was to postpone the elections at EPO, if not cancel them completely. In other words UEFA wants things to stay the way they are.

I think we have reached a point where the official PAOK should come out and say what the situation is. The more it drags out, the worse it is for the team.

Any talk of transfers right should be frozen until we have a coach in place.

She should first go for 4.95m creating a new Greek record and then set sights for the 5 meter mark.

Media is just speculating because they have nothing to report.

As long as people committing crime (is sport, politics, society, etc.) don't get punished, no FIFA/UEFA, EPO, Superleague actions will make any difference.

It appears we are looking at coaching soap opera at PAOK. Media speculates that Ivic is history, but official announcements are being postponed daily. In the meantime Michel and ivic have been meeting for the last couple days. It looks to me that the always "trustworthy" PAOK reporters have no clue what is really happening.

Yeah Iraklis got their 3 points back, but might still be dropped because they presented an empty filing for the license. At best they will stay in the league and with limits on transfers. If they go down it will be a great Football League next season with Thessaloniki derbies between Iraklis, Aris, Kalamaria and Agrotikos. Trikala and OFI will provide more tough matchups. It will be tough to qualify to a 14-team Superleague.

With 35.080 points, PAOK is seeded in 10th (out of 58) place in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Europa League. As for possible opponents only six of them are certain. The remaining 23 teams will need to qualify from early rounds of Europa League. The six certain team that we could face are: FC Oleksandriya (UKR) - 9.526 Olimpik Donetsk (UKR) - 8.526 KV Oostende (BEL) - 8.480 Dinamo Bucuresti (ROM) - 6.370 Universitatea Craiova (ROM) - 4.870 Arka Gdynia (POL) - 3.950

Well the transfer period must be in full swing, since once again we have stories left and right about Vierinha coming (or wanting to) back to PAOK.

I don't want Lucescu Jr. at PAOK. I'd rather go for his father. Not sure what Ivic's salary was, but his contract was 1+1 option. There are all kind of rumors why he is leaving and I am afraid we will never know the truth. Sure there are better coaches out there than him, but very few will entertain a coaching position in Greece. That's why in the past we ended up with the likes of Donis (going to a bigger team), Stevens (Greece is great for vacation), Anastasiadis (old school), Tudor & Ivic (learning on the job). One of the main reasons why I want Ivic to stay on is that he knows the mentality of Greek soccer. tell me which coach would have milked the beer bottle incident to get a win in the game he was losing. Plus he did fairly well his first season. He can only improve in the future. I am afraid we are looking at another wasted season ahead if we don't make a good choice.

Apparently all of Ivic's aides were told to pack up their stuff and leave, and that Michel is busy looking for an experienced replacement. Just hope we don't end up with another tourist like Huub Stevens.

And then get injured again in March.

I believe that too. And the longer Olympiakos goes without announcing a new coach, I would not be surprised to see him ending in Piraeus. Don't forget Ivic's brother is closely affiliated with Olympiakos. Personally I think it will be a mistake if we let him go, but if he himself does not want to stay, there is no reason to beg him to stay. Hopefully Michel has already picked a replacement.

Brkic should be let go. Also we need to go and get top notch goalkeeper, who will be our number one for few years. Let Glykos recover from his injury and then he can replace Siabanis as the backup goalie. It will be a while before Glykos gets back to the top form like he was the last season, and I really doubt that he will ever fully recover. In other words we need to go and get a number one goalie.

According to rumors we already accepted that offer and sold Cimirot to Bremen for 5 mil. I believe that Sarajevo also hold 15% of resale value, so we will not be getting the full 5 mil.
