Yes that's how it was explained on video at UEFA site.

AVB wont come cheap that's for sure and the EPO is cash strapped, currently paying Skibbe around $500 000 per year.

Definitely, he was involved in so many big games for the NT after our Euro triumph.

Cyprus should have got a result vs Bulgaria as well.

I would lean towards Villas-Boas...

That's the bright spot but looks like we will have a difficult group to navigate through. Get Rid of Skibbe already don't let him stay on for the last 2 Games we need results to not drop in the rankings.

Yes we are going to see a pot 4 team qualify for Euro like a Armenia, Malta or I hope to God not those skopians. Already from league 1 poland and Iceland have been relegated.

Ever since the day Ranieri took the helm the NT has gone down a very tough road. Finishing last in a cream puff Euro 2016 qualifying group was unimaginable even without the services of karagounis. Now we just saw another similar crap show vs Finland maybe one of the most disjointed losses since the losses to the Faroe Islands.

Good point we could get a Mourinho and they would control him like a puppet. We would still see Tziolis selected ?

I'm hearing on FB former Australia manager Postecoglou in the mix?? Not a big fan.

Yes absolutely, imagine the Ethniki without Fortounis. Scary.

Heard on Nova sport a reporter with the team in Finland said Skibbe may coach final two games as nothing has yet been determined and then the EPO will make a decision.

I don't like to see that display of frustration, but to Fortounis defence it was really one of our rare build up of play with good ball movement and purpose and the ball had to be played back to Fortounis he was the best option. Just like in the Estonia game Fortounis when he was in with the goalie he should have squared the ball to pelkas for a open net tap in. It's just a mounting of nerves for most these players. At least it shows they want the team to succeed unlike what I see from the likes of Tzavellas, Bakasetas, and a few other players.

Pelkas should have played that ball back to Fortounis who was in a great position but instead Pelkas shoots totally of balance and misses the net. The expression on Fortounis face said it all.

ANTE GEIA SKIBBE!!

I couldn't believe it when I heard the commentator say Tzavellas was coming on for the start of the 2nd half and then Finland score a minute in on his bad header and Manolas couldn't clear the ball. Siovas should be a no brainer. I am so angry with this bs.

^ I like that roster, if Skibbe gets fired maybe it opens the door for Holebas to return to the team. I don't get why he did not call up Siovas?

yes the goal vs Germany was incredible to tie the game at 1-1. Also when he scored vs Croatia in Athens to help send Greece to Euro 2012.

I hope so, the EPO said that Skibbe had to get 2 wins in these two games or else he would be out. Let's see if they follow through and fire him.

It's mind boggling, how can we be losing to Finland and Hungary? Today Greece not only lost but were being dominated by Finland who are ranked 58th in the world. In this group I was thinking we would get 14 points and first place, major disappointment.

We had a number of players just walking around the pitch not fighting for the ball with no will. Other players would do anything for the fanella like Karagounis, Kats, Salpigidis, Toro etc.. The majority of these players are a disgrace to the NT. Time to get rid of Bakasetas, Tziolis, Tzavellas they can never be selected this isn't Malta for ffs...

I already have. Listening to Nova sport they couldn't believe how disjointed this team looked today and how mind boggling skibbes selections were. It's a disaster. Finland could have realistically won by 4 goals they missed a tap in.

Skibbe has completely lost it. He did well to get us into 2nd place in a tough wcup qualifying group with Belgium & Bosnia, not to many gave us a chance to get to the playoffs. He screwed himself in the Croatia match and has not righted his wrongs. For God sakes we tied in Belgium and now we get smoked in Finland?? Time to go back to Germany re Skibbe.

For me Pelkas was the worst player for us. Terrible wing play, crap passes and crosses, he couldn't take on a defender 1 v 1.

Ya exactly there just a step up from Canada.. What a disgraceful Performance!! I'm fuming..
