Greeks will say he is faking the bullet holes.. Something like this:

AEK lose Jiminez!

He wanted over €1 million for him and has team per year. AEK only offered €850,000 and a €300,000 bonus for getting into the CL. Also he would have to pay his own tax, whereas Jiminez wanted AEK to pay his tax. So he is gone! Will probably be the new Sevilla coach!

AEK meantime will go for the average Greek coach (but media loved) Ouzounidis! They are meeting now!

[Calcio]

Greek guy is official. Manolo will go to Las Palmas.

AEK might have really shot themselves in the foot.

[Covenant]

This is bad for either Jimenez and AEK. Las Palmas will play the second division and AEK lost a good coach that made them champions.

[Faliro]

Agree with you both. Not only that, half there team has just jumped ship!

An extra €250,000 can change one's direction very quickly. Manolo probably thought he deserved a reward. The Pontian (worth 3 billion - yes you heard it 3 billion..) obviously disagreed.

=======================================

In other news - a topic that has interest here and indeed I am interested in this club for some reason: Aris.. relegated famously because of massive debts. No idea why I have the need to discuss this stuff..

The owner is trying to build team with his war chest.

The coach they got today seems to be Paco Herrera. Now remember - Aris was originally one of the most Latin influenced teams in Greece or even in Europe. At one stage they had a team that was basically Barcelona B  - with players like Javito dominating. Also tonnes of Portuguese players and South Americans. Seems they will do the same again.

They are after one of their own youth players - the talented Gianniotas - who is rotting in Valladolid and who is Olympiacos property.

They will probably keep one or two talented players they already have, like Hugo Sousa, Platellas and the half Greek half Jordanian Angelos Chanti - who bizarrely I think is good enough to play in Portugal. He is an example of a player who never played for a big enough team for the Greek NT to show any interest. 

Concerning Hugo Sousa (pictured) and Platellas - they have both stated they want to stay.

Was really hoping they would get a portuguese manager...

Platellas on one side & Gianniotas on the other sounds reallyyyyyyyyyy good. Also Nounis as a bench impact player.

Didn't know about Chanti tbh will need to look into him.

Yes, those two together will be very effective - however I am sure both will want to play on the right side..

Aris will be a very attacking side as usual.

His goals dont really describe the type of player he is but the video also shows some of his assists. He is very natural on the ball - perfect for a quick attacking game. A few players like him in Greece but the Greeks never seem to care much about them. I remember when I first watched him in a full game - he was dominating the attack. The name Chanti is not Greek. Could not figure it out because his first name was Angelos - the most Greek name possible. When I found he had a Greek mother and Jordanian father - and was born in southern Greece - was like - what a strange thing - but pretty cool too.

A guy name Angelos Cha... is shit! 

[Faliro]

A guy name Angelos Cha... is shit! 

What is ridiculous is that Greeks allow there names to be spelt in English with a 'ch' when it should either be a 'x' or 'h.'

Plenty of examples.

Jose Cholebas in Greek? Xolebas (Χολέβας). The 'X' has a 'h' sound - so his name should be pronounced 'Holebas.'

Charisteas (goodness knows how the Portuguese commentary pronounced his name in Euro2004..) In Greek again - his name is Xaristeas (Χαριστέας) - pronounced 'Haristeas.'

So all these stupid translations they submit to UEFA sound nothing like their names. 'Holebas' spelt 'Cholebas' - sounds ridiculous because Greeks don't seem to understand 'ch' in English gives a completely different sound.

With Angelos Chanti (Xanti in Greek - Χαντί) - it is the same shit - but even more bizarre. His name being Jordanian was probably Hadji i am guessing, or maybe Hadi. Greeks do another stupid thing. They have two 'd's. The first - Delta -  Δ - a soft 'd' pronounced 'thelta' and the second a diphthong n+t = nt = which gives a strong 'd' sound for a name like Davide. Now again - instead of realising that 'd' in latin is already strong - they translate the diphthong directly into english.. So for example - the AEK player Petros Mantalos should be spelling his name in English Petros Madalos - but he doesn't.... Greeks assume the Latin world knows what 'nt' means.. needless to say no one does..

So poor old Chanti should actually read in English 'Xadi' or 'Hadi.' I have explained this to Greeks many times and tried to change this ridiculous thing and while they all agreed something should be done - no one - even in academic circles could be bothered.

Holebas is pronounced correctly in Portugal.
The other guy ( ) no.
