    Accor please correct me if I'm wrong but Giannakopoulos was desparate for cash so he got the Sponsor "SuperFoods" to brand our team.  This caused MASSIVE upheaval in the organized fan base leading to various forums being closed (GWF and others).  

    There was some intense tension between the fans and him but things seemed to be die down over the next 2-3 months

    Then lately, Sparti FC (Gianakopoulos owns them) came out and sided with the same system that has been running Greek Football.  This goes against EVERYTHING that PAO has been striving to change and fight for the past 7-8 yrs

    He basically sided with the devil which has caused tensions to boil to the brim.  There are various theories out there that they are in business together however I'm not sure if any of this is founded by evidence or just conspiracy theories

    Nevertheless, his websites highlight Gavro articles moreso than PAO articles....

    Everyone can make their own impression of Dimitri Giannakopoulo but actions speak louder than words and its crazy how 10 years ago Accor and I met a photographer who knew innerworkings of the "big time personalities" in Greece and he has nothing but POISON to say about him

     

    Wow... and to think he had made a big fuss in those interviews a while back about the corrupt system in Greek sports 

  2. Atletico, Juventus, Man U, Arsenal etc are still miles stronger than Olympiacos so beating them is a sign Olympiacos has improved, especially when we beat Atletco (2014 CL Finalist), Juventus (2015 CL Finalist), Man U, Arsenal, Benfica (2014 Europa Finalist) etc within the space of two years. If PAO or AEK had done the same with the same budget, I would still be impressed. Greece has a poor league - both organisation wise and budget wise, these victories are massive, for the neutral and the Olympiacos fan. If you feel we have regressed I can assure you there was no point in our history when we were beating all these teams, in this form, in such a short space of time.

    Nope, for me having super players in attack like Ribo was worth little if you had someone slow like Anatolakais at CB. For me, the Olympiacos sides of 2015 are the most strong overall we have had. We have plugged the holes instead of getting a super star and watching him run.

    Brazil NT is now littered with average players that brazilians can't believe get call ups. NT products go in waves. Also those waves have nothing to do with league quality imo. Euro 2004 - we had team not of super talents - we had a working unit with a few talented players mixed in (Tsiartas, Demis etc). Xaristeas never really scored after the the tournament and most the other players lost their legs soon after. Euro 2004 was not so much about a golden generation - as a coach who could identify people who were capable of doing a job effectively and with passion. As Mourinho said after the tournament, Greece was the only country playing for their fans in 2004. 2004 confused many fans. Many non Greeks said it was fluke, untrue imo. Many Greeks said it was super talented generation, untrue imo. For me it was superb tactics, a completely dedicated team with passion and 2 or 3 genuinely talented players. For our talents to truly shine, imo, the EPO should allow B teams with rules that a high percentage of the starting 11 has to be Greek under 25s.

    The team we have this year is worth over
