Poursanidis: “Busis felt ingratitude and this can lead him to extreme decisions”

Important revelations regarding the ownership status of OFI, but also the situation that prevails with him Michael Bushidid on Creta Television, o Ilias Poursanidis.

The vice-president of PAE OFI, spoke about everything that happened recently and the rumors about the departure of Michalis Bousis, gave clarifications regarding the possibility of building a new stadium at OFI, while clarifying that this year’s season of the team is a failure.

Read in detail what he said:

On who was the first person to share his thoughts on finding an investor: “Yiannis Samaras was the first one I shared my secret with. He is a very sensitive person and for his own reasons he had not been to Crete for many years. He tells me not to make any move because Giorgos had thrown something at me. And so it started with the three of us and then it grew.”.

Regarding the meetings with Michalis Bousis: “We made the decision after we had prepared a presentation because we wanted both Giorgos and Yiannis to go to a businessman, not to tell him to help OFI. What we highlighted was sports tourism, teams that will come to prepare as happened with Anderlecht and this was basically what convinced Michalis Bousi, Nikos Papaioannou put us in touch. Within three days the presentation was made, he answered us after three months. I was in Kalamata, when George took me and told me that he answered positively, I didn’t sleep that night. I walked all over the city in the night. We really felt that what we are going to present, we wanted to support it with our morals and ethics. Regardless of whether everything happened magically and we found the best person in the first place.”

About what happened last month: “Busis is a very emotional person and that is what has tied him to the team. The place did not bring him, nor did he come to Crete very often. Now with social media, you can be everywhere, we give him the messages and we don’t hide anything from him. From the first moment we informed him, we are not telling him a single lie about what Greek football means, he had to know where he is going. Because he is a man who wants to change history when where everyone else fails he has the guts and ego to make things right. This made him even more stubborn. But this, which he felt, the ingratitude towards his person, his family, his colleagues and can lead him to extreme decisions.”

For this season: “We are talking about a failed year, don’t hide. From the moment we did not claim entry into the top six, because that is the goal. And you can’t say anything else when you’ve changed two coaches. Simply, the adaptability, the speed, to end the year quickly and mathematically, to start planning the next one. That is the realistic goal. And last year we finished first in the play outs, on the other hand, how you will finish the year and how you will plan the next one, are the most basic goals.”

As for OFI not being in… some chariot: “It’s terrible that we’re talking about it, so it means we take it for granted, we can talk about it and it shows the seriousness of the situation. Really, I say it from time to time when I come into contact with the organized, if the world should be proud it is this. Actually, while I was at OFI, we were never told anything. Always in the games with Panathinaikos, you were with a knife in your teeth and we left him out of Europe. It is ideal, that we are away from everyone and everything. It was blessed that we presented this to Mr. Bushi, because this place is so blessed that it can support lands, preparations. Why don’t all the teams from Northern Europe come to Heraklion and go to Turkey?”
