The main reason for the decline in the league is the loss of revenues. Loss of revenues is a direct reflection to the general economy in Greece. People have less disposable income to spend on discretionary items such as going to soccer matches....

Not sure if we can, he would not play much though if he did return now, he's better off in Mexico, let him get some minutes.

Funny thing is, before when he was more media shy he was in great form, ever since his injury a year or longer ago, he's been useless football wise but he's been running his mouth all kinds. If he backed it up with good performances I would love the trash talk, but if you can't walk the walk, it's just petty and sad.

I don't know where to post this but I've read many many many reports saying that Alan Pulido and his wife have been kidnapped in Mexico... Unbelievable.

Olympiakos footballer Alan Pulido kidnapped in Mexico

 

Mexican footballer Alan Pulido has been kidnapped in the northern border state of Tamaulipas, officials say.

The 25-year-old striker was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday near his home in Ciudad Victoria after leaving a party.

He plays for the Greek team Olympiakos and has made several appearances for Mexico's national team.

Mexico has the one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, with government figures saying some 1,000 people are taken every year.

Others argue that the true figure could be almost ten times as high.

Criss-crossed by drug smugglers

Local media reports said Pulido had been leaving a party with his girlfriend late on Saturday night when their car was surrounded by several trucks.

Six masked men reportedly took the striker away "by force" while his girlfriend was left unharmed in the car park where the incident took place.

Tamaulipas is one of Mexico's most violent states, and Mexico recently deployed more security forces to tackle cartels operating in the area.

Dozens of people have been killed in recent weeks in the border state, which is criss-crossed by drug-smuggling routes to the United States.

Pulido joined Olympiakos last July and finished the season with six goals in 15 games.

I hope he comes out unscathed, I'm not feeling very optimistic though, I think he will be lucky to survive, even luckier to play again.

Seriously, I know the greek players arent on EPL levels of $$$ but why would you go back there? Move your family out of the hell hole, at least to a big city or another spanish speaking nation.
