The new the president of EPO, Makis Gagatsiswas hosted on the television show “Trial at OPEN” and, among other things, stated that it does not exist no… alliance between PAOK and Olympiakoswhile he also commented on the change of leadership at AEKcharacterizing him Dimitris Melissanidis a bigger name than Loukas Barlos for the Union.
What he said in detail:
“There was one partnership between PAOK and AEK which no longer exists. It was decided that each side would go its own way. Regarding Mr. Dogiako, we are talking about a man who is an honorary prosecutor of the Supreme Court, it is positive that his name was heard for the presidency of the EPO, he was offered an offer, he did not accept it.
There is no alliance between PAOK and Olympiakoswe have read incredible things, the faction that is coming down at the moment, represents justice in football, whoever wants to be with us, welcome to come and vote, whether it is called Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, Aris, AEK, or Lamia.
It was an open gathering, Mr. Spathas represents a union out of 56, he came, he heard, it is a vote from the Unions. Mr Spathas is not on the ballot and it will be seen if you vote for me in the elections on July 22nd. He supports her because he obviously likes what we stand for.
I would like to say that the departure of Melissanidis was a sudden development for me as well, it leaves a heavy mark on Greek football. I think that the name Dimitris Melissanidis is older than Loukas Barlos for AEK fans. He leaves a leading team, I believe that AEK would not be what it is now if Dimitris Melissanidis did not take over AEK. We met in Ivan Savvidis’ suite.
The first impression was positive, a man of the square. Some may be skeptical of me, because I come from PAOK. Through our actions, however, I am sure, at the end of the four years, all four adults will really applaud us for what we have achieved.
I believe that if there was more equality, the team that I was until a while ago, PAOK would win the championship more easily that ended
I have already made a contact with UEFA to prepare a list of candidates. Mr. Rosetti will select three candidates and the EPO Professional Football Committee, as planned, will select one. I would prefer a certain one, I don’t know if he is available, I can’t tell you his name, I don’t decide.
We will continue with foreign referees, at least in the new season. The Greek league is not yet ready, due to the toxicity, to accept the Greek referees in the derbies. The insecurity that grips Greek referees must go.
We will tighten the disciplinary code to protect referees. I have already discussed with some of my colleagues from the new executive committee. It will be tightened and there will also be a deduction of points for attacking a referee. If a team official attacks a referee, it means that PAE itself is attacking the referee, not some fan who can be a provocateur.”
