I really like the blue shirt. I will definitively get one.
Now that the new jerseys are out and available at regular prices, the old ones are now on sale. Still debating if I should get the military one.

Exactly. Mak was not going to stay at PAOK considering we were offering only 800K salary, while Zenit is giving him 1.5 mil plus bonuses. I think Mak's mind was made up when he got the red card and the 5 game ban for the penalty against Olympiakos that was never called.
PAOK got a pretty good deal for Mak. We paid 300K to get him, and will pocket 3.5 mil with his sale. Not a bad investment.

2016-2017 PAOK schedule with preliminary dates for Superleague games.

Most likely scenario is that AE Pontion will start the Superleague, but it will not finish it.
First of all they are the only team that did not receive a license, which means that can only make limited transfers. The team owes something like 900K to taxing authorities, and any transfers they make will not be approved if they don't take care of this debt. They also owe back wages to most players from last season.
As part of the "non-license" they will be evaluated on quarterly basis to make sure they took care of those debts. If they don't take care of this each evaluation will bring with it punishments, such as monetary fines, point deductions, and eventually expulsion from Superleague.
In the meantime, Papathanasakis has moved from Thessaloniki to a hotel in Athens, and with the help of Marinakis managed to sell Vellios to Nottingham. So far none of the 1.2 mil from that sale have gone to the team in order to take care some of the outstanding issues.

As for this whole licensing process, it reeks of cronyism and demonstrates IMO that the current government is as corrupt as all the previous ones. It should not be up to the government to decide how many channels the market can bear and how many can survive financially- that should be up to the market itself. They should just say 'anyone who wants to operate a TV channel from here on out will be required to purchase a license and the license costs 'X' amount. Let anyone who can afford to pay for the license have one and then the strong will survive and the weak will not.
Just like every other corrupt aspect of life in Greece, so is the award of national television licenses. Those that will pay off the politicians will get their license.
On a positive note, it is quite revolutionary to introduce a licensing process for broadcasting stations. Even the most backward nations have some kind of licensing scheme for broadcasting licenses. In essence all these TV and radio stations so far have been broadcasting illegally.

Apparently there is an attempted military coup in Turkey as I write this.

Probably not in the first game. Maybe in the second leg.

PAOK will get 2,500 tickets along with 200 VIP tickets for the game.

Last friendly in Holland tomorrow against Twewnte Enschede. I am sure Ivic will use a lineup that he will most likely be the 90% starting lineup for the CL games.
I expect something like this tomorrow:
-------------------- Glykos -------------------
Matos -- Crespo -- Tzavellas -- Leovac
--------- Tziolis ----------- Charisis -------
Rodrigues ----- Sakhov -------- Campos
------------------ Klaus ----------------------

Decent draw. We can progress. Their best player Milik might not even play in the first game.
The only thing that worries me is that we never eliminated a Dutch team from any European competition.

Sabo is the player that is part of the Varela deal. The talks with Beitar have been suspended pending the final deal with Steaua.
PAOK will loan Sabo to Steaua paying his full salary. It's up to Savvidis to ok the deal.

Realistically we stand no chance of cracking the top 12 in the next 3 seasons in my opinion.
2016-17 is in progress and we finished in 13th place.
2017-18 is already set and we finished in 14th place.
2018-19 we are in 14th place with 22.300 points. 12th place Czech Republic has 27.675
2019-20 we are in 14th place with 17.900 points, approximately 1.3 points behind the 12th place.

Very nice pics Eagle.

I will catch the stream right before I leave for work. Hoping for Sparta Prague for sentimental reasons.

Steaua owner through Romanian media claims that he sold Varela to PAOK for 1 mil Euro plus one player. PAE PAOK has been quiet so far concerning the matter.
In other news Pozoglou has been loaned to the Cypriot side Karmiotissa Polemidion.

Kace's agent is in Holland talking to Michel as well.
I have a feeling we never got any offers for Kace. All those rumors in the press were just managers trying to drive the price.
We might have gotten official offers for Mak, but I think none of them satisfied PAOK or Mak. That's why he came to training camp early in order to explore all the options open to them/him.

Good result!
Hope this will bring the team down to earth and show the coach, players and the fans that there is still a lot of work to be done.
The main thing is to be ready on July 30 for the first game for the CL qualifying.

Paul Koutsioliakos is in Arnheim talking with Michel. Apparently they are discussing the future of Tzavellas at PAOK. Hopefully he has an offer from another team for him. He also manages Tziolis, Koulouris and Konstantinidis.
I am surprised PAOK still talks to that guy after the backstabbing he did with Fortounis last season.

You're probably right.
In my opinion these will be the players that will be cut from the top squad:
Melissas (loan or relesed)
Siabanis (U20)
Konstantinidis (loan)
Chatziisaias (loan if we sign a top notch CB)
Jairo (loan if Mak stays)
Dimitriadis (U20)
Korovesis (loan or release)
-
Counting Mak and Kace we have a roster of 33 players in the training camp right now. Obviously this will be cut down to 27-28 players, which means 5 to 6 players will be cut right before the first CL qualifying game. I believe we are done making transfers right now. At least until the CL qualifying games are completed.
What players will be cut?
