Other Teams/Leagues Discussion

[Blackhawk]

NOVA is not offering anything of such value. It's the crazy Syriza government that promises money through ERT to supplement the current NOVA money (that covers only 8 teams right now). They are doing that ahead of the general elections. It was revealed today at the SL emergency meeting that the money the idiot Vasiliadis promises are guaranteed for for just one year, which basically proves that it is just a pre-election gimmick. At least the SL owners had the brains to tell him to f... himself.

The league should be given control of getting the  tv deals and sponsorship, not the individual clubs 

My understanding is that the clubs arrange there own tv deals?  If that’s not the case then I apologise as that’s how i understand it from reading the forum.

I’m obviously not sure how the tv deals work in Greece but would it not be fair to just split say 50% of league sponsorship, the tv deal (and other revenue brought in by the league) evenly between the teams and then split the rest of the 50% depending on final league position? 

[pash]

Certainly. It also wouldn't be crazy to allocate that last 50% to favor the non-winners of the league. How about that for forced competitiveness, a la the American system

The Lazaros and AEK break up was never going to be a clean break, much saltiness 

All salt no pepper

They haven't even scratched the surface with the gangster.

[Blackhawk]

85 teams will take part in next Greek Cup (2018-2019):

53 Amateur Cup Winners
16 Football League teams
16 Superleague teams

Superleague teams will not enter the competition until Stage 4 which is the group stage. EPO just can't bring itself to abolish this stupid part of the Greek Cup.

Final will take place on May 18, 2019 at OAKA Stadium

Double και φέτος! Σήκωσέ το! Αν κάνουμε τρία στη σειρά θα είναι καταπληκτικό!

Giannina's deal with a Honduran striker has fallen through due to him failing his medical tests. Saw on one Honduran site that it was due to his knee(s). Wow, that's rough. You don't often see medicals fail.

[Blackhawk]

Whoever administered that medical test should be hired by PAOK. Maybe we would have been saved from Leveque if he was on board.

[Blackhawk]

Atromitos being destroyed by Maradona's team 4:0 in Europa League with 15 minutes to go.

Tripoli is winning 2:0 in Scotland..

[Blackhawk]

Atromitos score 3 goals in 15 minutes. Final score Maradona - Atromitros 4:3. Koulouris scored the 3rd goal for Atromitos.

[pash]

Three away goals. Man, this must be the best one goal deficit one can have going into the next leg

[Ellada2004]

Crazy finish, for the first 70 minutes they were brutal. Great comeback to get three goals and now they should beat a weak Dinamo in Greece and progress.

[pash]

Blackhawk, what's the Maradona reference alluding to?

[Dutch Eagle]

I'm not intruding as the one and only Blackhawk, but Maradona is just appointed as the chairman of Brest. And he is doing something for the youth system to improve overthere. 

[pash]

You've already intruded into my heart, you may as well intrude in this conversation!

[Antaeus7]

Both clubs can advance with a simple 1-0 win at home. 

[pash]

Asteras lost 3-2. Both Greek teams go into the next leg down on aggregate but with a big advantage in away goals

[Dutch Eagle]

I'd rather seen that they had collected some vital points for our coefficient with a sneaky 0-1 or 0-0. Doing themselves and Greece a bigger favor than scoring and not defending. 

[pash]

Asteras and Atromitos have both bowed out in spectacularly pathetic fashion. Down to three teams now.

[BostonThanatos]

Thanks for nothing....no points contributed.  Hopefully AEK and Olympiakos can make it through and get us some points....so we can go straight to the Group Stages next year after we take the championship. ?

[pash]

It really pisses me off. Those teams were garbage, and Asteras/Atromitos just completely caved. If we drop any points to them this season I'm gonna strangle a puppy.

[Boxou]

We could say they were both unlucky but on the other hand you can't rely on luck to get past Scottish and Belarussian opposition, especially when you concede 90th+ minutes goals and or blow a 0-2 lead. Im not sure there's any better team coming through, Panathinaikos will struggle to finish top-5 for the next 3-4 years or so and Aris shouldn't be able to make a case in the near future either. So it will be Atromitos/Asteras/Panionios/Pas Gianenna claiming the 4th and the 5th spot for long time.

We should get familiar with the idea that 90% they're getting past a couple of rounds let along making the EL group stages. Which is sad when you see teams of similar strength being able to do so. Atromitos and Asteras did nothing to improve their teams this year, especially Atromitos weakend a lot.

Damn, those idiots ruined the coefficiet, we had the chance to climb up to 2 positions in the rankings. Nevertheless our goal should be to remain in the first 15 countries. We are 16th at the moment, trailing 75 points to Czech Republic, 200 to Switzerland and 1100 to Denmark. We could even pass Switzerland and Czech Republic on Wednesday (a victory gives 200p in the qualification rounds and 400p in the group stages). If Paok and AEK make the CL we'll be awarded 800 points for each one of them.

If we fall to 16th position we'll have only 1 team in the CL and 3 in the EL, all of them starting their games one round earlier than what they started this year.

Δεν είδα τους αγώνες τους, αλλά γιατί ρε γαμώτο; Τι σκατά κάνετε; Ο Αστέρας ειδικά μόνο κόντρα στον ΠΑΟΚ μπορεί να πάρει αποτέλεσμα. Από το κάθε καφενείο μπορούν να αποκλειστούν. Η αλήθεια είναι βέβαια ότι και αυτοί καφενεία είναι. Δεν έχουν τίποτα καλύτερο από μέτριες ομάδες Λευκορωσίας και Σκωτίας.
