Vassilis Vergis writes about tomorrow’s key Super League Board conference call, the need to confirm his return to the field, and wonders if those who are trying to create a “climate of restructuring” by increasing the number of teams have nothing to do with it. with the product called Greek Football
There is no need to repeat the obvious. When the whole country begins to come back to life on May 4, even with the difficulties of “normality” since the virus circulates with the same danger, it is not possible for football to press a self-destruct button.
With the current health safety rules in place for athletes, coaches and everyone who participates in teams, the Super League MUST push for a restart tomorrow so that teams can re-train in mid-May and from early June on. championship.
Sport is LIFE. And they have to win. And to win, they must work together again. For some people to start arguing about “what will happen if there is a case in the teams?”, Because the answer is clear. With this “logic” a labor branch should not be opened. There are no stores. And obviously supermarkets should be “closed” for a month and a half, in which not 50 people are in the same place as in football, but hundreds, thousands every day. What are the workers in them? Second-class citizens?
Let’s go down. Tomorrow’s meeting is a mirror. We will largely see if and how many of the owners of the League teams are REALLY interested in the product of Greek football. Or if all they care about is trying to get rid of (as some believe) some monthly player contracts or others get caught up in the “chance” of staying in the category!
Because among the “terrible” things heard in recent days is (again) the famous word “restructuring”. With the difference, compared to last year, what they are talking about … INCREASING the number of teams in Super League 1. Some say that for 16, others for 18, others not to play, I have the ability to suggest them and merge 1 and 2!
I honestly wonder: which of those who think, argue and filter those football monsters are interested in even the slightest bit about sports in our country? There is not a single official body for many years that has expressed such an opinion. On the contrary.
The international companies that investigated on behalf of the League in the past had decided that in Greece we should have a championship of “10, maximum 12 teams”.
The State, through the mouth of former SYRIZA Vice Minister of Sports, George Vassiliadis, in the initial restructuring plan had 12 teams in the top category. He wanted 10 but understood the pressures that would exist. Which finally forced him to be taken to the final number 14.
And most importantly: The main blood donor in this troubled league, NOVA, is yelling at them not to even think about increasing the number of teams to 14. And subscription would be preferable for teams to have 12.
And even so. There are agents in the League who, because they are only interested in making the president make millions on television, are “pushing” to restructure up! In order not to be demoted, get comfortable with 4 others that will come up from below and create a monster with a championship, I don’t know how many speeds.
It is obvious that it is MANDATORY that the “big ones” stop this cough. Unless your concern is the (increase) votes in the League and your own degree of influence …
That’s why I tell you that. Tomorrow’s meeting is a mirror. And no one hides from the mirror …
