Melissanidis Rejects AEK: Where Will Our Saviour Come From?
By: Chris Paraskevas | June 4th, 2009A bad week got a whole lost worse with the announcement from Oil tycoon Dimitris Melissanidis – supposed saviour of a financially troubled club – that he would not be taking a majority share in AEK Athens.
The former president of the club served to distance himself from rumours that have linked him with a return, citing “differences in philosophy” between himself and the current board and calling for “radical solutions and generous funding”.
All lovely sentiments but one wonders where such solutions and funding will now come from.
A few quotes from the Melissanidis himself (from www.sportingreece.com):
“Despite the high estimate I have for the people in the board, I have found there is a difference in our philosophy about football, in that I believe AEK need radical solutions and a generous funding to meet requirements for chasing the title and that a rational management of its revenues is not enough.
“After that and since my initiatives have not brought any results, I wish to state that there is absolutely no possibility of me returning to the club’s administration.”
