Without Panathinaikos, AEK and PAOK, the presentation of the plan for professional refereeing
Panathinaikos, AEK and PAOK have decided not to “participate” in any way in the presentation of the plan for professional arbitration.
In the absence of Panathinaikos, AEK and PAOK, the presentation of the Super League President Vangelis Marinakis’ plan for professional refereeing will take place on Thursday (20/10) at 12:00.
Each of the three PAEs chose not to participate because of objections to the practices implemented along the way and the way the overall project was communicated.
Why Panathinaikos, AEK and PAOK will not participate
Panathinaikos explained that this is not in line with the general process followed so far, AEK still questions the presence of Mark Clattenberg who certainly took it upon himself to analyze the plan and PAOK leaked that they had distanced themselves independently from the attitude of others.
The three representatives of the Big 5 made it clear that their decision does not fall within the scope of alliances and agreements, as they go their own way uninfluenced.
In contrast, PAE Aris will be represented as normal.
