Evangelos Marinakis Megathread!

Took EM 4 years to get a proper structure here, 1 season of it not being right at Oly and it kicks off...

I think his shift towards Forest now says alot that most folks already know.

It's all about the money.
that could be fine. but this is not the case. he is engaged too much with Olympiakos, he never let the club for something else. We question his decisions and why some things happens this summer. And although for some the easy path to follow is NFFC, that is not the problem. There are other things going on that are causing the problems. His engagement with NFFC cannot explain the issues we have. NFFC is run properly and there are two completely different pockets. Money is not the issue for us. Decisions is.

This was exactly what happened to us, and we were told quite rightly by yourselves and GBG that he will get it right....he did.

Hopefully he sorts it out for you, and I can see us being able to help you far more than you helped us (players etc).

it is really awkward all this. it's like the club is in a phase of huge restructuring which was not needed! we were expecting a few quality injections and move on. right now people are leaving, players are also about to leave, we don't know who is coming in the organization. that cannot be blamed to NFFC. It's like EM is selling, which is not the case obviously, he was just elected president of the Greek League, he is investing money. But all that looks completely out of logic. We are without a CEO and Sports Director and Technical Director. We need players to be signed and there are rumours for like 10-15 players leaving. Without an obvious reason for all that

and that drives people mad and of course they will blame NFFC, the weather, the Ukraine-Russia, the Aliens, everything

i think he will short it out but it's worse than your case. you knew who were calling the shots and who to blame. we don't have a fcking clue

i am certain he will short it out. but until then it gets a little bit crazy all this because we had something WORKING and we just needed a few players with better quality and probably a couple of people on board but not as an absolute necessity.

now this is chaotic without reason. i mean a reason we know

Ah, fair enough, that does sound worse than us.

I'm not savvy with Oly mate, but that sounds like a dereliction of duty to me.
If it's not EM's doing then who?
This is why I have a complete distrust in football owners.

Sounds like a shitshow and I sympathise because we know exactly how that feels.

Hopefully things will start coming together soon for you guys.

We will see. I am optimistic by nature. We are a big club. We will find a way out.

I still believe that EM will solve the problems. Sooner or later

Forest are like EMs sexy new bird who loves mucky sex & has massive knockers whilst Olympiakos are EMs wife of 30 years who's put on weight, let her sen go a bit & has lost interest in sex and just eats chocolate while watching Emmerdale

I know which one I'd spend me money on
The thing is, this kind of wife often has a very heavy hand, and she certainly does not mince her words. She forgives, she can be patient, but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Re: Evangelos Marinakis

Well he's certainly properly minted, similar wealth to Fawaz if the reports are to be believed! He certainly has had loads of success running Olympiacos and there's only so far a Greek side can go. It would be daft to plough even more into the club just to do better in Europe when they are already head and shoulders the best team in their league anyway. I can see it would make more sense to buy an English club and get them into Europe instead as they would need to be of a similar level to do well in Europe as they would in The Prem. Would be nice if he could get us back to the top! Wonder how much truth if any there is in this? At least we would still be financially stable and have a very experienced owner. Sounds good to me if it's true and wonder would Fawaz want to sell up? I'm sure a fair few would welcome a more clued up owner! :congored:
Reopening this thread and reading this from 2016.

Unbelievably prescient and amazing that most of it apart from Europe has come true.

REALLY trying not to get carried away

Misses the champ
He was praying all match again, his god is clearly with him considering the playoff final & the penalty today :ROFLMAO:

Good to see him at the ground
Yeah is doing the cross the same in Orthodox Christianity as it is in Catholicism? I assumed he was Orthodox but saw him do the cross I do when we concede a penalty.

I think the Orthadox one you do over the heart. He is Orthadox I am pretty sure, he was doing that at Wembley.
