With a sharp announcement the amateur PAOK He chose to respond to the OEM, who asked for members to resign, with the climate of tension in the Thessaloniki continuing.
Specifically, on Friday morning (1/8/25), Antonis Tsalopoulos, Thanassis Hatzopoulos, Vassilis Trinikis, Konstantinos Stergiou and Haris Mallios – Member of the PAOK CA – were publicly placed, inviting the leadership of the amateur to follow.
This action caused a strong reaction from the amateur, who in a statement responded with a clear tone:
“We do not accept ultimatums or blackmail. True unity is not imposed, “the text typically refers.
This conflict brings to light the underground tensions that seem to have long been in the ranks of the Association, with the future of relations between the OEM and AS. to be extremely uncertain.
The announcement of Amateur PAOK
“In the cloudy landscape that has been shaping in recent weeks, with an endless but ever -increasing warfare against AS. PAOK, we received the knowledge of another announcement – that of Mr. Tsalopoulou, Chatzopoulos, Trlyrakis, Stergiou and Malliou – which unfortunately does not contribute to unity, but, on the contrary, enhances the confusion, undermining the calmness and judgment of the PAOK people.
This letter, in its content, emits a sad finding: that instead of walking united in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the club’s life, some choose – consciously or unconsciously – to throw shadows in the institution of its breath and cell.
AS PAOK, the mother of the club, never sought polarization. It has been silent many times, not by weakness but by respect. Chose responsibility instead of convenience. Institutional seriousness instead of populism. And yet, this attitude was interpreted by some as weakness – and this is certainly a big mistake.
To this end, we feel the need to state the following:
1. We do not accept ultimatums
AS PAOK, as the pillar of the organization, is not blackmailed and does not obey orders of the “decide and order” types. And the voices that require resignations “for the sake of unity” ignore that true unity is not required. It is built with truth, trust and justice. And that’s exactly what we do.
2. Financial Transparency is complete
With complete transparency and accounting audit, we inform you that all financial obligations of the Association by 31/7/2025 have been fully fulfilled. At the end of this, the relevant financial data is detailed in the Appendix. These to lift any distorted or false image attempt.
The Association’s accounting is open to anyone who wishes to be informed. Let the hard work of our employees and our partners do not spit.
3. We respect the team’s match
Respecting the effort of our football team, we will not contribute to toxicity the eve of such a critical match. For this reason, the AS press conference PAOK scheduled for Monday 4/8, is postponed for the aftermath, so that the PAOK world will gather where it should: in the heart of the club, on the pitch, to the players.
The time of truth gentlemen arrived … and then things will be heard that will illuminate dark corners. Not with screams. But with calm power, arguments and complete transparency. And then the missing will be surprised and the acquaintances will probably want to hide.
We therefore invite all PAOK friends to remain calm and united, and not to be seduced by rhetoric that misinterpret the essence, tool history and undermine the future.
GOOD SUCCESS PAOK THURSDAY
No one is over PAOK.
No one is over the truth.
With unity, purity and dignity,
LET. PAOK
