Borovilos on the rigging circuit: “We must make decisions quickly”

The president of Astera Tripoli, George Borovilosspoke to ERT and mentioned, among other things, the rigging circuit.

The strongman of the Arkady emphasized that it should to make quick decisions as the surrounding atmosphere that exists is poisoning the sport, while she also referred to her disagreement EPO.

In detail what he said:

“The matter is serious, things are simple. There is an atmosphere that poisons the sport, it is the worst. Clearly, there must be quick actions, such as to give direction as to what exactly is happening.

If it happens that we have to make immediate decisions because it is being spread throughout football Greece that there are games, they set up, they do, they run, it is only bad for football. We must have quick decisions around this much-lauded issue because as long as we leave it and it dominates the current affairs of football, it is the worst.”

Regarding the disagreement with the EPO on the percentage of sale and purchase of football players that the League gives to the Federation: “I can’t say we got anywhere in the recent meeting. There was a good intention, of course in these cases there is no lack of voices that are extreme or everyone sees exclusively from their own side. the matter was of economic basis. We believe that in the market for footballers it is not meant for the EPO to collect any percentage, something that happens in leagues around the world, that is, a team pays to acquire a footballer and at the same time gives a percentage to the Federation.

There was also a difference on the percentage of the sale, we don’t mind giving a percentage but not 5% which is quite high given that the Super League is not at its best in terms of its revenue. There have been problems in Greek football that are reflected in a lack of money. EPO must show understanding. There should be a rationalization of the percentage that is paid only at the time of sale and I believe that with good will we can take steps forward”.



For the new referee boards: “The problem with arbitration is not the people. The problem is that in recent years, and year by year I would say it is getting worse, we have a problem of credibility, of acceptance. The Greek referee is not accepted by those who should be accepted, by the sports-loving public opinion, fans, journalists, by the football circle. When entering the field, the referee must be respected by the teams, there most, if not all, have acceptance issues. In this we have to take many steps to improve it and it doesn’t happen overnight.”
