That's what happens when your season STARTS in early July....

I know...I meant that they still have European matches coming up... You know me so well Pash.....

Santos had worse squads? Is that a joke? If any coach had a squad that deserved to get at LEAST a cup...and even 1 title, it was him. We forgot about these guys already?

Like I told Pash when he say a pretty girl in a cafe "

I feel like Tudor got shafted from the beginning. He got a dud in Olsen, who cost the team more than just a few points. Then he was force-fed Berbatov, who just doesn't fit his plans for the team. I'm sure the money spent on Berbatov could have gotten us a 10ari and a CB that we desperately needed. Then, he's literally got a fresh new team that gets thrown right into the early stages of Europa League....with little time for preparation. Then the team is absolutely plagued by injuries. We lose Konstantinidis, who showed that this would be his break out season. Leovic and Cimirot missed the first few months with the team, and then Leovic gets injured again. Then I'm sure sitting Kace wasn't his idea, seeing as he's been a vital part of the team, and seems to be healthy.... I truly believe the his 3-5-2 system would have worked if 1.) We signed a class CB to take Costa's place early one. 2.) Signed the Striker that the coach actually wanted and 3.) Olsen didn't turn out to be worthless. I think a middle line like: Rodrigues - Cimirot - Pelkas - Kace - Konstantinidis is pretty solid, with Mak and anothor fast striker up front.... But these guys haven't all been healthy at the same time.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Klaus sitting out a couple games and having Berbatov as a lone striker.

Let's hope for a PAOK v. Atromitos and OSFP v. AEK Then if we make it to the final, we'll have most of our injured players back and if it's OLY we face, maybe they can be in the mix of some Europa matches.

Isn't the draw usually the next day?

Kitsiou had a couple German teams scoping him out.....I dont understand why...it's not like he's been having a good year.

The entire league is doing all the things we need them to, to rise to 2nd.......we just refuse to take advantage.

Oly came to win, PAOK came because they're contractually obligated. I hate talking about coaches being fired, but this guy has clearly lost the locker room. Pereyra, Kace and Malezas not playing shows he's an idiot.

The fact that Kace isn't in this game, shows that whoever calls the shots cares about saving face than what's best for the team. Without Kace in the middle with Cimirot to have a chance at at LEAST having a speed advantage over Oly's midfield, we're doomed. Oly will score at least 1 goal off a Tziolis mistake. Since he makes at least 2 catastrophic misatakes per game, ad Oly WILL take full advantage of it.

Of all the games I'd attend in Karaiskaki...this isn't one of them. It'll take a miracle for us to NOT get shellacked in this one....and if that miracle happens, all the Anti-Tudor PAOKtsides will be bowing down to him, hailing him a genius.

It's a bit extreme...the kid has been getting scraps for the majority of his time with us, and at best has been grossly underpaid the last couple years....while Maartens, Maduros, Spiropoulos and a bunch of other bums came and went making 10x his salary each...

Cambiaso and Tzori are out.

I say Tudor starts Berbatov vs. OSFP so he can back up his words (in his interview with himself) that he's here for the derbies

It's like they're playing musical chairs over there....Coaches, Technical Directors, Presidents, Vice Presidents...... Players. It's nuts.

It is your honor to work under one the greats, such as myself. BTW, I just noticed your signature, lol.

Vukic didn't convince the player. PAOK asked Vukic about Ninkovic, and he told them not to sign him.

Honestly, after watching the interview, I blame him a lot less....and I never really blamed him entirely. I didn't think he was the right choice for us, but at the same time, I know he did everything he did for the good of the team.

He makes valid points though. I heard Savvidis is coming to New York end of February for a Pontiako dance andmay make an appearance at the NY PAOK club. I'm going to be in the area, so I'm having my mother give me pontiaka lessons. Maybe I can get a front office job. I can't imagine I'd do any worse than anyone over there already. May I can be the North American Talent Scout.... I'll just watch MLS all day, and make recommendations.

Savvidis has released in writing that Tudor is the Coach, and there is no, and will be no discussion on replacing him.

PAOK President, Iakobos Angelidis resigns for "personal reasons"....

Anybody catch Anastasiadis Interview on Athlitiki Kyriaki? It's definitely worth a watch:
