Olympiacos Piraeus

You guys are crazy as fuck.

[Faliro]

If you guys remember, when Michel was sacked I posted a poll that showed most fans wanted him to stay. This is the latest poll on whether Olympiacos did well not to try and keep Marco Silva at Olympiacos - most agree that Olympiacos did well not to insist he stayed:

You guys are crazy as fuck.

Seems Marco decided to leave on the 21st but Olympiacos didn't announce it until today. Quite clever. Also if Marco goes to Forest it will be 100% because Marinakis set up the deal. Marinakis already negotiated Vellios to go to Forest.

Here are the latest pics of Sanchez:



Looks a bit like Marco Silva in this pic:

Marco appears to rejected Forest and I don't blame him.
2nd tier team, crazy owners and he needs a better challenge, right now.

It is not clear at this point if the rumours are true that Marinakis secretly acquired 80% of Forest.

81%*
But it appears to be secure.
The only question is how much Fawaz Al-Hasawi will want to get the hell out of there.

I have no idea if it is even true. Everything I have read about it has come from non-Olympiacos media.

One must remember Marinakis lives a lot of the year in the UK and went to university there also. Forest has huge potential as its history is greater than most Premiership clubs. I think if any of this is true Marinakis will seek to raise the club to the premiership immediately to raise the value of the club.

Maybe it's time for you to consider stop supporting Olympiakos, and start to support a more reliable team. Maybe PAO...

Just shitting...you're all crazy as fucks....

Faliro, I'm calm now that I know he's not going to Porto.

Marco is my idol in respect of coaches.

View Marco in Benfica is what I most desire in the future, not now, I'm satisfied with Rui Vitória.

Olympiakos looses the best manager of this decade and  gets a manager that is not so good as marco is.

Olympiakos is that is lost, gets a Spaniard on the edge of Marco is not nothing.

You're going to miss him

[Faliro]

Well he did not impress me as much as Vitor Pereira if I am 100% honest. You must remember at Olympiacos we have had excellent coaches like Valverde and not so good coaches like Zico. So we can really compare the differences considering we have had 16 coaches in the last 10 years. I liked Silva, but I saw nothing to say he was the best coach at even Olympiacos in the last 5 years.

But months ago you said that VP did not impress you...

Actually I believe I was asked who was better and I said I preferred Vitor slightly over Marco Silva and Jardim I believe. I think I went through all 3 and said VP fires up the players the best and in a crunch game I would take VP. I have no idea how to use the search function on this forum, but I think I remember comparing all 3 when someone asked me on here.

[Cloughie]

Faliro, if I'm sure you said, at that time, that Marco was better than Vitor and, Jardim.

[Faliro]

Perhaps but I remember saying in a must win game I would take VP. I have made far too many posts on this forum so I have no idea when I said that. If you can use the search to find the post, we may be able to see it.

Now that I can judge as he has finished his stint, I can say out of the 3 Portuguese coaches Olympiacos has had - VP is the most superior. He motivates the players the best. All 3 I would put behind Michel. Valverde is probably the best technician but he was stubborn and the games sometimes boring. For example he didn't like Mitroglou when he was clearly the best striker we had. Takis Lemonis was a very good coach also.. but he was Greek so nearly everyone didn't respect him.

My bet is Olympiakos won't miss Marco Silva.

Overrated coach IMO.

Victor Sanchez looks promising.
